AI builds by Dan La Ferlita

AI that works for your customers, built by hand

I build AI tools for businesses: assistants that sell and book, simulated customers that test a site before launch, and reports that write themselves. Here is what I have built. I can build the same for you.

Every build keeps a person in charge. Anything that costs money or changes a booking waits for a human to approve it.

Vesper demo on desktop: a chat recommending a Fiber 1 Gig plan, a running bundle total, and a live panel listing each tool the assistant calls The same demo on a phone, with a Talk to a person button and Vesper asking the shopper to approve adding two mobile lines

Built: AI shopping assistant

Vesper

Live demo for a made-up internet provider, sample prices

Vesper sells the way a good salesperson does. It checks the customer's address, asks three questions, recommends a plan and says why, then books the install. Every step runs on a defined tool, in the right order, and a person is always one tap away.

What went into it

  • Recommends, then explains. Every pick comes with plain reasons, like why gaming needs low lag more than raw speed.
  • Asks before it acts. Adding to the order or booking a visit waits for the shopper to approve it.
  • Steps in the right order. Plans stay locked until the address is checked, and checkout stays locked until an install is chosen.
  • Ready for a real AI model. The demo runs on simple rules in your browser. A language model can take over the conversation and use the same tools, with the same approval steps.

Built: simulated shopper panel

Six customers who test your site before real ones do

Each one is an AI character built from a real kind of customer: age, budget, devices, patience, and the exact things that make them leave. They walk through a page out loud, score it on trust, clarity and ease, then argue about it in a roundtable.

Sample run: the panel tries Vesper

First pass, before any fixes. Overall score out of 5. Panel average: 3.2

ShopperScoreBiggest problemIn their words
Walt 2/5 No way to reach a person “It's all a chat box. Where's the phone number? I'm not typing my business into a box.”
Ana 3/5 No Spanish, and no way to send the bundle to her husband “I like that the total updates as I go. But no Spanish? And how do I show Luis?”
Theo 4/5 Upload speeds not listed “address, three questions, plan. fine. but is the gig the same speed both ways. say so.”
Marcus 4/5 Self-install kit takes two days to arrive “Honestly smooth on my phone. But two days for the kit? I need wifi tonight.”
Carol 3/5 The tool panel looks like it is meant for her “What is “get offers”? I don't know what that black box is telling me, and it worries me.”
Jess 3/5 The price after the two-year lock is missing “Locked for two years, then what? If you don't tell me year three, I assume the worst.”

From the roundtable

“Everybody keeps saying it's fast. Fast doesn't help me if I can't get a person.”

Walt

“walt's right. a call button costs nothing. i'd never press it, but it should be there.”

Theo

“And put the year-three price right next to the price. Then I'll believe the rest of it.”

Jess

“And in Spanish, por favor. Half my street would use this.”

Ana

Fixed because of it

  • A person, always in view. A Talk to a person button now sits in the chat header. (Walt)
  • The real price after the lock. The bundle and the order summary show what you pay from year three. (Jess)
  • Upload speeds, not just download. Every plan says it runs the same speed both ways. (Theo)
  • A team view, labeled as one. The tool panel now says shoppers never see it in a live build. (Carol)

Next on the list

  • A Spanish version. The full conversation written in Spanish, not machine-translated. (Ana)
  • Share your bundle. A link to text or email the plan to someone at home. (Ana, Carol)
  • Online sooner. Same-day setup options for people who just moved. (Marcus)

Simulated shoppers are a fast first screen, not a replacement for talking to real customers. They catch the obvious problems cheaply, so real research time goes to the hard questions.

Also in the toolbox

AI connected to your data

Links an AI assistant to analytics, dashboards, search data and design files, so a team can ask questions in plain English and get answers from the real numbers.

Reports that write themselves

Daily sales reports pulled, checked for anything unusual, and published every morning without anyone touching them.

Competitor mockups in minutes

An agent that visits a competitor's site, reads its design, and builds a clickable mockup in under two minutes for side-by-side comparison.

Whole-site button audits

A crawler that clicks through every page of a large site, lists every button and link, and flags the broken or missing ones.

What I can build for you

An assistant on your website

Answers questions from your real prices, hours and policies, then books the appointment, sends the quote, or hands off to you.

For example: a bridal shop assistant that checks the wedding date, budget and style, then books a fitting.

A shopper panel of your own

Four to six simulated customers built from the people who actually buy from you, run against your site before launch and before every redesign.

For example: a budget-minded bride, her mother, and a maid of honor shopping on her phone.

Reports that write themselves

Your sales, bookings or website numbers, pulled and summarized every morning in plain English, with anything unusual flagged.

For example: a Monday email that says which services sold, which pages lost visitors, and why.

Questions about AI builds

Can you build an AI assistant for my website?

Yes. I design chat assistants that answer customer questions from your real information and guide people toward a booking or a sale, and anything that costs money waits for the customer's approval. Try the Vesper demo on this page to see one work from first question to finished order.

What is a simulated shopper panel?

A set of AI characters, each built from a real kind of customer, that walk through your website out loud, score it and say where they would give up. It is a fast, low-cost first check before launch. It does not replace talking to real customers.

Will an AI assistant say the wrong thing to my customers?

It is set up to answer from the information you approve, like your prices, hours and policies, and to hand off to you when it is not sure. Anything that costs money or changes a booking waits for a person to approve it.

Can an AI assistant work with the website I already have?

Usually, yes. An assistant can be added to most existing sites. If the site itself is holding you back, I can rebuild it at the same time.
