The newest capability

I build custom autonomous AI agents that understand the business.

Not chatbots — real autonomous agents that do the work end to end: they research, decide, act, and report back, with guardrails, cost controls, and human oversight built in from the first line. Because I’ve actually run the businesses these agents serve — a bulk-candy supply chain, a retail floor, an export desk — I build agents that understand the operation, not just the prompt.

I don’t only advise; I ship. Alongside full agents I build the interactive tools and dashboards (“artifacts”) that teams and agents use every day — so the intelligence lands somewhere you can actually work.

Proof, not promises — I designed and built Agent Prophet: a fully autonomous agent, live today, that holds a strict integrity standard, controls its own spending, and can’t be manipulated by other agents. Most AI consultants have never shipped one.

The kinds of agents I build:

Operations agents

Inventory, reordering, and supplier & logistics comms, handled autonomously

Outreach & sales agents

Research leads, personalize, and follow up at scale

Content & marketing agents

On-brand content, social, and campaign production

Reputation agents

Monitor and respond to reviews and mentions

Research & data agents

Scattered data consolidated into decisions

Support agents

Answer customers from your knowledge, escalate when needed

Current & previous ventures

A founder’s roadblocks are rarely new to me.

Range isn’t a résumé line — it’s why I recognize your problem before you finish describing it.

About Omar Othman

Seventeen years of building things that ship.

I started in 2007, at eighteen, with a mobile car wash in Seal Beach — me, a friend, and a couple of buckets. The lesson that has guided every venture since: a business is just a series of problems, and the person who solves them wins.

Since then I’ve built and operated across manufacturing, distribution, retail, export, and CPG — Alpaca Bowls, The Exotic Club, Tangiers, Culture Shrooms, custom snack manufacturing, and more — and spent years advising founders through the exact walls I’d already hit myself. The newest chapter is AI: I build custom autonomous agents for businesses, and I ship them, not just advise on them.
