I turn AI from a pitch deck into a production system.

I'm Tony Ojeda. I wrote the book on collaborative AI, built and run an AI operating system I use for serious knowledge work, and have done AI and data science work for organizations including Cigna, PNC, the Federal Reserve Board, and the Department of Defense.

I work with a small number of companies and leaders each year on the decisions that determine whether AI projects deliver — bringing a published framework, a running operating system, and a track record of shipping AI that actually works.

Collaborative AI book cover

Collaborative AI

AI alone doesn't deliver results. Systems do — systems that integrate AI with software logic, data infrastructure, evaluation, and human judgment. Collaborative AI is the framework for building those systems, written by someone who has built them. It's the architecture behind everything on this site.

Compound Agent OS

Compound Agent OS

I built and run an AI operating system for serious knowledge work — research, writing, analysis, and the operational scaffolding of running a practice. It's the same system I demonstrate live in executive briefings, and the source of what I write about agent architectures, governance, and human-AI collaboration in production.

Projects

Self-Healing Data Pipeline

An AI system that monitors 100+ data pipelines, investigates quality failures autonomously, and opens ready-to-merge pull requests — taking issues from detection to human-reviewable fix without manual triage.

AI Catalog & Listing Engine

A three-stage pipeline that classifies 192K SKUs into a unified product hierarchy, enriches gaps with AI web search, and generates marketplace-optimized listings.

Compound Agent OS

An AI operating system for serious knowledge work — one person running a full team of specialized agents through a real-time command center.

AI Sales Rep Evaluation

An AI system that listens to sales calls, scores reps across 13 competencies, and turns raw conversations into coaching intelligence.

Market Intelligence Platform

A unified market intelligence system for a retailer — probabilistic forecasting, supply tracking, automated trading, and asset valuation.

Collaborating Agents

A multi-agent system where three AI personas debate and refine strategy — from high-level vision down to task-level execution plans.

AI Data Analysis Assistant

A self-service tool where you upload data and ask questions in plain English — it handles the code, the analysis, and the visuals.

AI Customer Service Assistant

A RAG-powered chatbot that helps customer service reps answer complex product questions and perform financial calculations in real time.

Who Authorized That Decision?

Who Authorized That Decision?

Organizations point their AI at the policy document and assume that counts as enforcement. It doesn't. The gap between pointing at rules and delegating authority to enforce them is where hidden governance exposure lives.

What Actually Makes AI Work in Production

A model can interpret a request, draft a response, and still fail in production. Reliable AI systems need interpretation, boundaries, context, measurement, and human judgment working together.

I Built a 25-Agent AI Operating System

Most people doing serious knowledge work with AI still start in the same place: a blank chat window. I replaced that setup tax with a personal AI operating system built from specialized agents, composable skills, and persistent memory.

Beyond Work

I run on AI agents and automation — the operating system I built is the same one I use every day. I also make music and AI-generated art, because the best way to understand a technology is to create with it.
