Replaced a $480/mo cloud transcription vendor with on-device Piper.
Operator runs clinical notes through a local model on their own iron. No per-minute billing, no audio leaving the laptop, no vendor renewal anxiety. Deploys in one session.
We help operators, founders, and small businesses deploy production AI — the operator tools, agent stacks, local voice systems, and workflow automation that run real operations. Most AI projects fail in the last 10%. We get you from “mostly works” to “actually deployed.”

Cursor and Claude get you to a prototype in a weekend. The week after that is auth edge cases, deploy config, vendor lock-in, observability, the agent that hallucinates only in production. That's where we work.
Internal operator tools, AI copilots, workflow automation, local voice agents, client portals, and operations dashboards — built to survive real use, not a demo.
Live operator view that merges your systems of record and flags at-risk work before the customer calls.
Multi-channel work-order intake, vendor coordination, and tenant updates in one supervised pipeline.
On-device transcription and TTS. No cloud, no per-minute billing, no audio leaving the machine.
Hybrid automation: code for the predictable steps, AI for the judgment, a human checkpoint where stakes demand.
A vault and agent stack giving humans and agents one shared source of truth that compounds over time.
Scattered tools turned into one legible operating picture, with the recurring reports assembled for you.
Most software demos well. Very little software survives contact with reality. That second thing is the whole job.
30-min screen, no obligation.
Written SOW with price and ship date.
The work. Daily async updates.
Receipt and 30-day follow-up window.
We sell what we use. Every framework on this site runs the studio.

The same Obsidian + agent fabric this site is built from. Twelve specialised agents (Vitrine, Vaulture, Atlas, Steward, …) operate against a single source of truth. Customised per client; same substrate.
The agents on this page reviewed this page. The vault behind this site has 12 agents, ~2,000 notes, and a working memory fabric. Every engagement we run leaves behind the same substrate we run ourselves. That's the differentiator — receipts, not theory.
studio · operator
Run by Stephen Talley — operator-first, agent-pilled, building from Philadelphia.
The vault that runs this studio is the same one we install for clients. The agents writing our internal specs are the agents we deploy in Operator Workspace. We sell what we use.
We sit with your team for a week and hand back a written plan for what to keep, kill, and automate. 90-minute recorded walkthrough plus a 3–5 page report.
Teams already using Claude / Cursor / agents who can't tell if the workflow is actually working.
Recorded session · written report · keep/kill/automate matrix · 30-day async follow-up.
30-minute screen, no obligation. First reply within one business day. We'll tell you honestly whether we're a fit and what the engagement would look like.
