AI that works for you.

I'm Samih Abuawad, an independent developer with 10+ years of experience helping individuals, startups and enterprises put AI to work in the tools they already use, and building software only where it's needed. You work with me directly, with no account managers and no handoffs.

Where AI changes the work

Most businesses lose hours to the same few kinds of work. Here is what changes when AI takes on the repetitive part and your team keeps the decisions.

Today

  • Writing quotes and proposals from scratch, often in the evening
  • Retyping details from PDFs, invoices and forms
  • Small copying mistakes that cost time later

With AI

  • First-draft quotes built from your price list and past jobs
  • Details pulled from invoices and forms into your systems
  • You check and approve before anything goes out

Use AI before you build

  • Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot

    Leading AI assistants, ready to use today. I link them to your inbox, documents and CRM with ready-made connectors. They draft, sort, pull out data and prepare follow-ups, and your team approves anything that matters.

    Best forFast results with nothing to host

  • Integrations and workflows

    Workflow tools like Make and n8n connect AI to the systems you already run, so a new lead, invoice or support request moves through each step on its own. I design the flow, connect your tools and add checks wherever a person should decide.

    Best forRepetitive work that spans several tools

  • Local AI

    AI models that run on your own servers or computers. Sensitive data stays inside your company, and instead of paying for every use, you pay once for the hardware. For high-volume, everyday work that is often far cheaper to run.

    Best forPrivate data and lower running costs

  • Custom software

    When off-the-shelf AI can't do the job, or the software is the core of your business, I build it, adding AI where it helps.

    Best forYour core product and unique workflows

From problem to working solution

The same five steps, whether the answer is an AI assistant, a workflow or custom software. At each one I try AI and your existing tools first, and you decide before anything is built.

  1. Discover

    You know what AI can handle today and what truly needs building.

    I start with how your business works today, not with technology: where the time goes, which tasks repeat and which tools you already pay for. Then we decide together what an AI assistant or a workflow can take over, and what truly needs custom software. You get an honest plan, even if it says to build less.

    What I do

    • Conversations with you and your team
    • A map of your tasks and the tools you use
    • Sorting what AI can take over
    • Rough costs for each option

    You get

    • A written plan in plain language
    • What to connect, what to automate and what to build
    • A cost and time estimate
    • First steps you can start on right away

    Where AI helps

    • Interview notes and customer requests summarised into themes
    • Fast comparison of ready-made tools that already do the job
    • Quick trials on your own examples, before anything is promised

  2. Design

    You see it work on your own examples before committing to the full build.

    Whether the answer is an assistant setup, a workflow or a product, I shape it around how your team really works. I sketch each step, mark where a person reviews or approves, and set what information the AI can see. You try a simple working sample with your team and tell me what to change, while changes are still cheap.

    What I do

    • A step-by-step map of the new process
    • Points where a person reviews and approves
    • Rules for what information the AI can see
    • A simple sample to try with your team

    You get

    • A clear map of the new process
    • A sample your team has already tried
    • An agreed plan and price for the build

    Where AI helps

    • First drafts of the process and wording to react to, not a blank page
    • Assistant instructions tested on your own examples
    • Sample screens made faster, when a product is needed

  3. Build

    Your tools get connected, and only what's missing gets built.

    I connect AI to your inbox, documents and systems with ready-made connectors, and automate the steps we agreed on in tools like Make and n8n. Only the parts no ready-made tool can handle get custom-built. You see something working every week or two, not one big reveal at the end.

    What I do

    • Connecting AI assistants to your tools
    • Automated workflows with approval steps
    • Custom software only where it's needed
    • Testing on real cases from your business

    You get

    • Assistants and workflows running on your own accounts
    • Regular demos of what already works
    • Everything owned by you, with access you control

    Where AI helps

    • Ready-made connectors instead of building from scratch
    • AI help with writing software, with every change checked by me
    • Test runs on past emails and requests before anything goes live

  4. Launch

    Live step by step, with your team trained and fully in control.

    We start with a small group or one type of task, check the results, then widen. Your team learns how to use it, what to check and when to step in. Every important action still waits for a person's approval, and unusual cases go to a person.

    What I do

    • A gradual rollout that starts small
    • Team training in plain language
    • Approval steps, privacy and access checks
    • A clear way back to how you worked before, if needed

    You get

    • The solution running in your business
    • A trained team and a short how-to guide
    • Alerts when something needs a person

    Where AI helps

    • Training guides and how-to notes drafted quickly
    • Early results checked automatically for mistakes
    • Plain-language summaries when something goes wrong

  5. Grow

    It keeps improving, costs stay in check, and your team can run it.

    After launch I measure what changed: time saved, mistakes and cost per task. I improve what real use reveals and, where it pays, move steady or sensitive work to local AI on your own servers. When you're ready, I hand everything over with clear documentation, so you don't depend on me.

    What I do

    • Measuring time, quality and cost
    • Improvements based on real use
    • Moving work to local AI where it pays
    • Handover to your team

    You get

    • Regular reports in plain language
    • Clear, predictable costs
    • Documentation your team will actually use
    • A solution your team can run on its own

    Where AI helps

    • Feedback and mistakes sorted automatically into what to fix next
    • Usage and cost tracked for each AI tool
    • New AI tools checked as they appear, and adopted only when they help
