Building in Public

Building AI products people actually use.

I am Jose Manuel Jaen, founder and AI engineer. I ship products end to end, from model behavior and infrastructure to UX and fast product feedback loops.

My Approach

"AI is not the product. Solving a real problem is."

I focus on turning AI capabilities into reliable product experiences, not demos. From data contracts and model behavior to UX and distribution, every decision has to survive real users.

My work sits at the intersection of ML engineering, product strategy, and execution speed. I care about what ships, what gets used repeatedly, and what compounds into durable advantage.

How I Build

schema

Product + AI Architecture

Designing the full stack from data and model behavior to UX and delivery so AI feels useful on day one.

Reliable AI Operations

Building resilient deployment and monitoring flows so products stay fast, safe, and maintainable over time.

Rapid Execution

Turning ambiguous ideas into shipped features with clear trade-offs, short loops, and measurable outcomes.

Current Focus

Visit Product arrow_outward

ShellBot launches a private OpenClaw instance in around 30 seconds. No Mac Mini, no Docker setup, no ongoing ops burden.

Problem: Self-hosting agents is still fragile and time-consuming for most teams.
Approach: Private cloud instances with secure defaults and zero-ops onboarding.
Outcome: Deploy in minutes, keep data control, and chat from familiar channels.

I share the build process in public via X and Substack.
