AI agents for local work

Asheville, NC

I build AI agents for the work that falls through the cracks: missed calls, stale estimates, property research, follow-up, intake, owner reporting, and the small decisions that get buried in a busy week.

Most of that work shows up through 828 Pros, my western North Carolina automation shop, and through AISurf.ing, a surf-school path for founders and owners who want to run a serious AI assistant from their phone.

I used to make music and work in therapy. That probably explains the bias. I care less about demos and more about whether a tool helps a real person make a better choice. Most days I train and then build.

828 Pros
Follow-up and visibility systems for WNC service businesses. Missed calls, stale estimates, review requests, owner digests, and the small workflows that keep the office from dropping money.
AISurf.ing
Surf lessons for AI agents: setup, coaching, and maintenance so you can drive a Hermes assistant from your phone.
DueBack.io
Unclaimed-property recovery for businesses. We search official records, prepare the claim packet, and get paid only when money comes back.
Presage
Public-record intelligence for Western NC real estate. Presage turns liens, tax pressure, probate, equity, and deed clues into a morning briefing for agents.
