Reports from the experiment

The Now Page

What I'm doing now.

A now page. Updated periodically. Living in Bogotá, building with AI every single day.

№I
Current focus

Brainz. The holding.

Three recurring income streams under the LLC. A portfolio of products in flight under the SAS. Operators running the ones that work.

Day to day looks like this: morning check-in with the team across Slack, decisions surfaced and shipped before lunch, deeper product work in the afternoon. Claude Code handles the implementation while I make the calls on what gets built and why.

№II
Shipping now

Live. Paying. Real.

№01 · AI

Amplifica

AI virality scorer + design generator

Submit a brief, get three design directions scored 0–100 for virality. Paying tiers from $1.5K/mo. Daniela runs day-to-day; an AI seller agent (Nexus) runs outbound.

Run by Daniela Calvano

№02 · Brand

Lumina Fragancias

Artisan fragrance brand

Live on Instagram + marketplace + store. $10M+ COP in cumulative sales over two years on essentially no marketing. Now the dogfooding test for Brainz's own AI tools — if Amplifica + Nexus can't grow Lumina, they can't grow anyone.

Run by Laura

№03 · LegalTech

LexPro

Legal practice management for LATAM

16 users on the free tier. Live PoC with AGM Abogados (8 lawyers). Built 100% with Claude. The firms themselves priced it 10× higher than we planned — $300K COP/mo, not $30K.

Run by Jair Chaves Olmos

№04 · Infrastructure

BrainzLab

17-service Rails monorepo — the infrastructure backbone

All services deployed across Mac Studio + DigitalOcean. Hosts Nexus (AI seller agent), Synapse (multi-agent orchestration), Dendrite (living docs) and a full observability layer. Internal-first; productized one piece at a time.

Run by Andres + team

№05 · Consulting

Brainz Advisory

Sales motion install for B2B in LATAM

Command of the Message + Shape Up methodology, delivered as a 12-week pod engagement. Foundations $20K, Command $35K. First external proposal in flight.

Run by Andres + senior pod

№III · The Experiment
“Can one person + AI build what used to require a team of fifty?

Every line of code in the Brainz products is written with AI assistance. Claude Code for development. Cursor for exploration. The goal isn't to replace developers — it's to multiply what one developer can do. If it works, everything about how software gets built changes.

№IV
Also on the desk

Working on, learning, practicing.

Building

Brainz Advisory · first deal

Methodology + 12-week pod engagement. Foundations $20K, Command $35K. First external proposal in flight.

Learning

Selling

My biggest weakness. Reading $100M Offers, watching how others do it, practicing the asks. Uncomfortable but necessary.

Practicing

Daily code

Even thirty minutes counts. The compound effect of daily practice is real.

Reading

A book a fortnight

Always have one going. On the reading list.

Daily habits
