Technology & AI Consulting · Product Operators
OpenBasics advises, operates, and ships. We embed as product operators inside your business — bringing AI strategy and real software tools that your team actually uses.
What We Do
Most consultants hand you a slide deck and disappear. We stay, build, and operate. Every engagement ends with working software — not a playbook collecting dust.
01
Honest, practical AI strategy. We identify where AI creates real leverage for your business — and where it doesn't. No hype.
02
We embed directly into your team as operators — running sprints, setting priorities, and driving outcomes like a co-founder would.
03
Internal dashboards, AI-powered automations, data tools, and client-facing apps. We build exactly what your workflow needs.
04
Production-grade AI features — retrieval, agents, structured outputs — integrated cleanly into your existing systems.
05
Map, redesign, and automate your core workflows. We find the hours your team loses every week and give them back.
06
From idea to working prototype in days, not months. We pressure-test concepts fast so you invest only in what works.
How We Work
We don't hand off recommendations. We sit inside the work — making decisions, building things, and shipping outcomes alongside your team.
We spend the first week understanding your workflows, tools, team structure, and pain points. No templates — every engagement starts with listening.
We map a clear path: what to build, what to automate, where AI applies, and what to ignore. Then we agree on a tight scope before writing a line of code.
Fast sprints, real feedback loops. We ship working software weekly and adjust based on what your team actually does with it.
We stay on to run the systems we build. Monitoring, improvements, and new features — so tools don't go stale the moment the project closes.
Tools We Build
A sample of the tools we've designed, built, and deployed for clients — each purpose-built for a specific problem.
An AI-powered research and briefing tool that synthesizes documents, emails, and data sources into structured summaries — deployed directly inside client ops teams.
A custom CRM and pipeline visibility tool built for a 12-person services firm — replacing three disconnected spreadsheets with one live dashboard.
A conversational AI assistant that qualifies, routes, and captures inbound client requests — reducing manual intake time by over 70%.
A live operational dashboard connecting project data, financials, and team utilization — giving leadership a single source of truth across all engagements.
About OpenBasics
OpenBasics is a small, senior team. We've shipped products inside startups, managed operations at scale, and integrated AI into workflows that people depend on daily.
We founded OpenBasics because we kept seeing the same problem: brilliant strategy that never became software, or software that no one adopted. We fix that by staying in the room for both halves.
We work with a focused set of clients at a time — no factories, no junior-heavy delivery. When you work with OpenBasics, you get the people who designed the engagement doing the actual work.
