Bo[a]B is an AI operations layer that runs on a small computer on your premises. It unifies your data, and handles the daily work most small businesses lose evenings to — the books, the inbox, the schedule, the reporting.
Every vendor is selling AI. Most of it hallucinates, costs more than it saves, or solves a problem you don't have. Sales decks are confident. Demos look great on the rep's laptop. Production is a different story.
You don't need an enterprise AI strategy with governance committees. You need one tool, that one person operates, that quietly pays back inside the first quarter — and keeps earning for years. That's what Bo[a]B is.
Wrong prices quoted. Invented policies. Damaged brand. Confidence without accuracy is worse than no AI at all.
The "AI assistant" that ends up costing more in oversight than the human it was supposed to replace.
Works on the rep's laptop. Breaks the moment it touches your real data, your real workflows, your real edge cases.
Language models can't yet do everything well. But with proper orientation and the right data controls, they can take a substantial amount of the drudgery out of running a small business. The bigger unlock — finally being able to interact with all of your own data as if you had a Quant team on call.
I'm taking on three founding customers in 2026 to install Bo[a]B, tune it under real production conditions, and tell the truth about it to whoever comes next. Smaller cohort, deeper relationship, beta pricing.
Founding customers get the discount of being early. You also get a deeper relationship — weekly working sessions during install, priority on which actions get built next, and my full attention while Bo[a]B stabilizes around your workflow.
In exchange: a few hours a week during build and install, candid feedback as I tune the system, a written case study at the end, and reference rights for two years. Plain trade.
At month 13, the arrangement converts to standard pricing — or you walk. No multi-year lock-in. The discount was for being first; year two is for being a customer.
Hardware (~$1.5–2k) included in monthly. Founding customer agreement available on request.
I'm Patrick Inverso. pi.0 is a studio of one — I do the work, I don't subcontract it. Before this, I ran operations inside companies that had real ops teams: full P&L ownership at Sonicbids (six-month turnaround, a decade profitable, exit arranged), and revenue work at Google, The New York Times, and MoMA before that.
The pattern across all of it: diagnose the real constraint, design the system, ship it, hold the line on outcomes. Bo[a]B is that pattern, sized for the businesses my old employers wouldn't notice.
I'm always open to a conversation — whether you have a defined problem, a hunch that something isn't working, or you're applying for a founding partner spot.
No pitch decks required.
