OptiFlow Build
AI automation for small businesses

I built a system that
builds software.

A 13-step pipeline that finds real problems, builds the product, connects payments, deploys it, and markets it. Three shipped so far. Now I build custom AI tools for businesses too.

The Pipeline

Most people build one product and spend months on it. I built a system that does the whole thing — from finding a problem worth solving to putting a live, paying product in front of customers. Automatically.

01
Pain Mining
Scans Reddit, forums, and communities for problems people are actively complaining about
02
Discovery
Filters for problems that are real, recurring, and worth paying to fix
03
Competitive Intel
Maps existing solutions, their pricing, and where they fall short
04
Validation
Scores the opportunity on market size, willingness to pay, and build complexity
05
Architecture
Designs the database, API, and frontend structure before writing a line of code
06
Build
Writes the full application — auth, payments, core features, deployment
07
QA Audit
Tests every flow, catches bugs, checks edge cases
08
Legal
Generates privacy policy, terms of service, cookie compliance
09
User Testing
Runs through the product as a real user would, flags friction points
10
Design Polish
Tightens the UI, fixes spacing, makes it look like someone cared
11
Monetization
Connects Stripe, sets up pricing tiers, handles billing logic
12
Launch
Deploys to production, configures DNS, sets up monitoring
13
Marketing
An AI agent takes over — posts to Twitter, Reddit, tracks engagement

How It Works

From first call to live tool in 1-4 weeks.

01

We Talk

Free 15-minute call. You tell me what eats your time. I tell you if I can fix it and roughly what it would cost. No pitch, no pressure.

02

I Build It

You get a proposal within 24 hours. Once approved, I build your tool in 1-4 weeks depending on complexity. You see progress the whole time.

03

You Use It

You get a URL and a login. That's it. No installing anything, no IT department needed. I host it, maintain it, and make it better every month.

About Me

I'm Braiden. I build custom AI tools for small businesses in the Kansas City area and beyond.

I study Mechanical Engineering at KU. A few months ago I started applying that problem-solving background to AI and software, and I haven't slowed down since. I've shipped 3 SaaS products, built 4 AI agent systems, automated video production for 4 YouTube channels, and collected permit data from 921 US cities using a fleet of parallel AI workers.

I write real code. Most "AI agencies" drag and drop a chatbot together and charge you $5,000 for it. I build actual software around how your business works. When you outgrow the cookie-cutter solution someone else sold you, that's where I come in.

I'm not a big agency. I'm one person who moves fast, charges fairly, and ships things that work. If your business has a process that makes you think "there has to be a better way" — there probably is.

Let's Talk

Book a free 15-minute call. Tell me what's eating your time, and I'll tell you if I can fix it. No commitment, no sales pitch.
