Put AI to work this week
without becoming a programmer.

You lose hours every week to the same boring admin — the quote you retype, the email you triage — and you know AI should help but not where to start. I build the small tool that does one of those jobs for you. Grab it, watch the 90-second build, ship it today.

Danny de Vries Built by Danny de Vries Software founder — 20,000+ products shipped. Now I build one small AI tool at a time and hand it to you finished. More about me →

The email your tech retypes twenty times a day. The quote you rewrite by hand. Those “too custom to build” jobs are now the cheapest things in the world to make — and I hand them to you finished.

I spent a decade shipping software — north of 20,000 products — sure that wall was permanent. Then I watched a plain-English sentence turn into a working tool, and the math flipped: the specific, annoying job no software company will ever build for you became an afternoon’s work.

So I build one at a time, show you the 90-second build so you know it’s real, and tell you in one sentence what it touches. — Danny

Finished, deploy-today — not tutorials

Flagship — free tool
Turn a year of statements into tax-ready books
Drop every card and bank statement; it sorts each charge into your own accounts, splits business from personal, and builds a profit & loss by business line — plus an audit trail your accountant trusts.

Free tool
Books Builder
Build your tax categorization map before you touch a statement. Feed it last year's categorized books (or one fresh statement) and it drafts your chart of accounts and vendor rules, then an AI accountant reviews each account — business vs personal, deductible vs transfer — and flags the judgment calls that move your taxes, biggest dollars first. Export a mapping the Statement Reconciler reconciles a whole year against. Runs in your browser.
 Free tool

Build a personalized pre-meeting “welcome desk” for a prospect — one shareable link that greets them by name with your letter, voice intro, business card, client reviews, and key documents laid out on a virtual desk. Runs in your browser; the whole box lives in the link, nothing stored.
