LAMOSE — an e-commerce brand run by an AI workforce
liveMy drinkware brand runs day-to-day without me. Sixteen AI helpers watch sales, inventory, pricing, and ads, then send me a morning briefing — and ask permission before touching anything that matters. I spend minutes a day on what used to take all of it.

AI Ads Manager — replacing a $3–5K/mo agency with $32/mo of software
liveAd agencies wanted $3–5K a month to manage my Google Ads. I built software that does the same daily tuning for about $32 a month — and it now runs the advertising for four businesses, managing ~$9,150/month in ad spend.

Autonomous SEO agent — $11/year in AI costs

R.Song Studios — ops dashboard for a 3-location fitness studio
liveCalgary's largest pole & aerial fitness studio was running three locations on spreadsheets and exports. Now one dashboard shows the owner exactly where revenue moved, which classes keep members coming back, and runs payroll — trusted with real paycheques every month.

shca.ca — community association platform with real money flows
liveA volunteer community board needed what big organizations have — online memberships, hall bookings with deposits, and expense approvals that require three signatures — without office staff or an enterprise budget. The whole platform runs for about $20 a month.

PharmacyPlus — AI operations for a retail pharmacy
liveI own a Calgary pharmacy with about six employees. Its schedules, timesheets, payroll and sales reports prepare themselves — with strict rules that keep AI far away from patient information and anything medical. Proof this works even in a regulated industry.

Calgary Mandarin School — registration, payments, and peace of mind
liveA community language school was handling registration on paper and chasing payments by hand. Now families register and pay online in one sitting, the calendar updates itself from a spreadsheet the staff already use, and it all runs on infrastructure that costs almost nothing.
