Practical AI for work and everyday life

I'm Kevin Burke. I'm an operator by day and build AI tools at night for small businesses, independent professionals, and my own life, including the software my wife's boutique uses to save her hours every week.

• Sentinel

  My weekly AI research agent. Every Sunday it tracks competitors and industry news, then emails me the few things actually worth my attention.

• Browser automations

  AI agents that actually work in websites where integrations don't already exist, like reconciling daily sales deposits into QuickBooks, automatically.
