I Figure Out Where AI Actually Helps — Then I Build It

I work with teams for a few weeks, find the workflows AI can actually fix, and build the tools. I also teach a free course on vibe coding — building real apps by talking to AI instead of writing code.

AJ Otranto - AI Product Consultant & Vibe Coding Educator based in New York

AJ Otranto, 2026

I spent 10 years in advertising before I started building AI products in 2020. The main thing that carried over: nobody cares what's under the hood. They care if it actually works and makes their day shorter.

I sit next to your team, watch how work actually gets done, and build the specific tools that cut the biggest bottlenecks. Three recent engagements are below.

A few things I've built recently
QuoteCraft
CASE FILE I

From Quote Request to Inbox in 30 Minutes

60% faster quotes

Quote requests sat in Gmail for hours. Pricing lived in spreadsheets. Every response was written from scratch — and faster competitors were winning the jobs.

Local desktop tool that connects to Gmail, reads incoming quote requests, and uses Claude to automatically generate a structured quote — complete with branded PDF, Excel breakdown, and a drafted reply email, all dropped into a folder ready to send.

Quote turnaround dropped from 2 days to under 30 minutes

GALE Workspace
CASE FILE II

Enterprise AI Tools Under NDA

40% time saved

Influencer stats pulled by hand. Campaign brainstorms scattered across Google Docs. Media plans stitched together in a dozen browser tabs.

Built three internal AI tools for the agency: an AI brainstorm engine that generates campaign concepts, an influencer discovery and tracking system, and a node-based visual planner that connects research directly to campaign strategy.

Reduced media planning time by 40%
