Service 01
AI Consulting
The problem
Most small businesses know AI could save them hours each week. They've tried ChatGPT. It helped, a little, informally. But nobody's connected it to the actual workflow — the booking system, the website, the inbox, the reports that still get done manually. That gap stays open because hiring a developer to close it feels like overkill, and most “AI consultants” arrive with a deck and a retainer, not working software.
The solution
Tony works with owner-operators to identify one or two places where AI integration delivers a concrete result — then builds it. That might be an AI summary layer on top of your analytics (what SiteSense does for its customers). It might be AI-assisted content generation wired to your CMS. It might be automating the part of your week that shouldn't require a human. The engagement starts with a plain-English audit of where AI is worth your time and where it isn't.
Scope: workflow audit, tool recommendation, implementation, and handover. No ongoing retainer required — though most clients want one once it's working.

SaaS Development / Fractional CTO
The problem
Early-stage SaaS founders often hit the same wall: they have a product idea, maybe a prototype, and a list of things that need building — but no technical co-founder and no budget for a full-time senior developer. The options on the market are offshore dev shops (cheap, slow, unreliable), expensive agency retainers, or waiting until they can afford a hire. None of those options move fast.
The solution
Tony builds full-stack SaaS products on Next.js, TypeScript, and Supabase. He can take a product from zero to production, or step into an existing codebase and extend it. As a fractional CTO he covers architecture decisions, stack choices, infrastructure, AI feature integration, billing, multi-tenancy, and — critically — the judgment calls that a junior or mid-level developer won’t be equipped to make alone.
This is not “we’ll scope a project and check back in six months.” It’s a working relationship with a founder who ships.
Stack: Next.js (App Router), TypeScript, React 19, Supabase (PostgreSQL + RLS + Auth), Stripe, Vercel, Anthropic Claude. Headless CMS work (WordPress REST, Ghost, Strapi) where required.
Six SaaS products shipped in the last six months, all built solo or with small teams:
- SiteSense — multi-tenant analytics SaaS, Stripe billing, AI summaries, weekly email cron, 9 DB migrations
- SeOEasy — 5-platform CMS adapter, dual AI provider (OpenAI + Anthropic), plan-based entitlements, 3-tier billing
- CinemaCloud (cinemacloud.io) — full production management platform: project tracking, video review, frame-accurate commenting, adaptive streaming, and resumable uploads. End-to-end production pipeline in one place.
- CommentDesk (commentdesk.com) — social comment inbox with AI triage, YouTube + Facebook integrations, AES-256-GCM token encryption
- OpenSpace Studio (openspacestudio.app) — dual-camera practitioner workspace, Daily.co integration, calendar sync, HMAC-signed client join links
- Meducate (meducate.now) — full LMS platform: course builder, instructor workspace, admin, Supabase auth, Stripe, Vimeo/YouTube abstraction
PromoScape has been operating since 2003 — 23 years. The first chapter was running a full post-production studio: multiple edit suites, a team of seven or eight, real operational complexity, and a business that had to work under pressure every day. That chapter ended when the production division was sold in December 2019. The current chapter: six SaaS products shipped in six months. The pace was always there.

Content Writing
Available as a standalone service or as part of a broader engagement.
Why it's here
Good content shouldn’t require a separate engagement with a copywriter who doesn’t understand the product. Tony writes copy for websites, SaaS products, and editorial platforms because he understands what the software does, who it’s for, and how to explain it without jargon.
He adapts to any type of site or product. Healthcare, specialty food, SaaS, education — the writing fits the audience. The article and editorial layer at meducate.now/articles is one example of what that looks like at scale.
What this covers
- Website copy and landing pages
- Product descriptions and onboarding copy
- Articles and long-form content for any industry
- SEO metadata (generated and reviewed by a human, not just an AI)
Available as a standalone writing engagement or bundled with AI consulting and SaaS development work.
