Now booking free workflow audits

Do the work.
Not the busywork.

I'm Tad. I build automated workflows that read your sources, sort your inbox, and write your reports, then wait for your OK before anything goes out.

Real tools and systems from my own operation. Most of them are live links.

Workflows for the work that repeats

If you do it every morning, every Friday, or every time a lead comes in, it can probably run itself, with you as the final check.

Digests & monitoring

A morning brief that already checked your competitors, feeds, news, and inbox: what changed, why it matters, and what to do next. You read five minutes instead of browsing forty.

Inbox & ops workflows

Email triage, drafted replies, updated sheets, weekly reports, lead research, all prepped and queued on a schedule. The system does the typing; you hit send.

Tools & small apps

When a workflow deserves an interface, I build the app around it, like ScenePartner and the Sight-Reading Generator, both live right now.

Three steps. No homework.

01

Tell me the chore

Bring the task you keep putting off. Describe it in plain words on a free 30-minute call. No prep, no tech vocabulary needed.

02

I map it and build it

We pin down the sources, the rules, the schedule, and what should never happen automatically. First working version in days, not months.

03

You approve what goes out

The system checks, drafts, and queues. Nothing sends, posts, or spends until you say so. You get a walkthrough and written instructions.

That last rule is the whole product. The AI does the prep. You keep the keys.

Built, shipped, and public

No stock photos, no invented testimonials. These are my own builds: a full product, live apps, and agent systems. Click through and check.

Start small. Scale what works.

Every tier starts the same way: a free call where we map the workflow. If it's not worth automating, I'll tell you and you keep your $0.

Thaddeus Arndt, Los Angeles

Hi, I'm Tad.

Musician, producer, and workflow engineer in Los Angeles. I ran a recording studio for eight years, grew internet audiences from zero, and somewhere in there started building systems to do my own repetitive work. Now I build them for other people.

Everything on this site, from the tools and diagrams to the page you're reading, was made by a human working with AI, not the other way around. That's the actual skill I sell: automated things that still feel like a person made them.

I'm also careful on purpose. Approval gates, limited permissions, no credentials where they don't belong. The boring parts are the parts that keep your business safe.

Fair questions

Do I need to be technical?

No. You describe the task in normal words; I translate it into a working system and show you how to drive it.

Will AI send things without me?

No. First builds create drafts, queues, and alerts. Anything that sends, posts, spends, or deletes has to be explicitly scoped, and most clients never automate that part at all.

What can you connect?

Gmail, Sheets, Calendar, docs, CRMs, feeds, websites, browser tasks, and custom agents. If you do it in a browser every week, it's probably automatable.

What if my task isn't worth automating?

Then I'll say so on the free call and point you at a simpler fix. A workflow that doesn't save real time is a toy, and I don't sell toys.

Bring me one annoying task.

Thirty minutes, free. We map it together. Worst case, you leave with a clear picture of your own workflow.
