I design and ship production AI tools — lead pipelines, MCP servers, edge automation on Cloudflare + Claude. If it runs without anyone touching it, that's the point.

Case Studies

Real systems, real repos. Three of the five public repos are architecture case studies — the application source stays private for client-data isolation, so the READMEs (and the MCP ops servers that ship in each repo) do the talking.

01

Main Street AI

live

Open-source AI platform for nonprofits and small businesses — ten modules designed, five to six built, with the Presence module live as a free public audit tool. Replaces ~$2,800/yr of SaaS at roughly $4–5/month in Claude API cost.

  • Per-module Cloudflare Workers with versioned prompt files — prompts are artifacts, not string literals
  • D1 schema + migrations; no-build-step frontends
  • Companion repo ships an MCP server (audit, health-check, prompt-inspection tools) + Claude Code skills

MTM Lead-Ops Suite

production · internal

Eleven internal AI tools powering More Than Momentum's client acquisition: lead scoring, prospect intelligence, AI website generation, call intelligence, proposal & client-report generation, content studio, and more.

  • Prospect research: 30–45 min manual → ~20 s (per internal benchmarks)
  • Proposals: 60–90 min → ~30 s · monthly reports: half a day → ~45 s
  • One Worker per tool · Claude Haiku for bounded briefs, Sonnet for scoring & copy · tenant-scoped D1 with usage metering

Client Onboarding Pipeline

production

Mark a Google Sheet row YES → the pipeline creates a GoHighLevel sub-account, Claude generates a custom multi-page website, widgets are injected, and the site deploys to Cloudflare Pages. 60–90 minutes of manual setup down to 2–4 minutes.

  • 3 Workers wired with Service Bindings; Cloudflare Queues beat the 30 s Worker ceiling
  • Streaming NDJSON with 5 s heartbeats through 4 layers during 60–120 s generation
  • Two-phase KV handoff around a GHL permission constraint; deliberate max_retries = 0 so a retry can never double-create a client account

Outpace — Scheduler & Site Rebuild

production

For an EOS coaching firm: a self-hosted social scheduler on Cloudflare's free tier, plus a full multi-page rebuild of the company website.

  • YouTube resumable uploads inside a 128 MB Worker — R2 range reads in 8 MB chunks with 308-offset resync
  • Optimistic-locking cron (UPDATE … WHERE status='pending') so distributed runs can't double-publish
  • OAuth CSRF state in KV (5-min TTL) · Workers AI generates post descriptions

Cross-cutting habit: every major repo ships with an MCP ops server (@modelcontextprotocol/sdk), Claude Code skills, and a CLAUDE.md — the repos are built to be operated by agents, not just read by humans.

Interactive Demos

Simulations of the internal MTM tools, mirroring the real systems' actual input/output shapes. Everything below runs entirely in your browser — simulated output, no live model, no API keys, nothing sent anywhere. The one exception: the Digital Health Check links out to the real, live tool.

Prospect Intelligence

simulated demo — not a live model

The real tool takes a business, runs one Claude Haiku pass, and returns a call-prep brief in ~20 seconds. This simulation reproduces the exact output shape.

AI Website Generator

simulated demo — not a live model

The real pipeline streams a Claude-generated multi-page site to Cloudflare Pages in 2–4 minutes. This simulation renders a homepage preview from per-industry templates.

Call Intelligence

simulated demo — not a live model

The real tool sends a Recall.ai bot into meetings and extracts pain points, objections, and budget from the transcript. Here, a sample transcript plays and the summary panel fills in the same fields.

Proposal → Report Pipeline

simulated demo — not a live model

The real generator turns live CRM + GA4 data into a branded client report in ~45 seconds. This simulation assembles a report section by section from a sample proposal.

Digital Health Check

real · live · free

No simulation needed — this one is deployed and public. Enter any business or nonprofit and get an A–F digital-presence audit from Claude in ~30 seconds. No signup, no data stored. It's the live Presence module of Main Street AI.

Timeline

  1. 2025-12 → now

    Co-Founder · Automation & Systems — More Than Momentum

    AI-native digital growth agency, Londonderry NH. Built the 11-tool internal AI suite, the client onboarding pipeline, and the multi-server MCP orchestration that cut onboarding from hours to minutes. "He's the reason MTM can promise 60-second lead response and actually deliver it every time." — morethanmomentum.com/about

  2. 2024 → now

    Head of Socials & Engagement — Outpace

    Built a production social scheduler (YouTube/LinkedIn) and MCP server for an EOS coaching consulting firm, plus a full rebuild of the company site.

  3. 2025

    Creator — Main Street AI (open source)

    Ten-module AI platform for nonprofits; Presence module live as a free public tool.

  4. 2025-12

    B.S. Business Management — Entrepreneurship, Keene State College

    GPA 3.3. The business degree is why the engineering always ships with a P&L attached.

About

I'm Colby Smith — I build AI systems for businesses that can't afford to babysit software. At More Than Momentum I run the engine room: automation pipelines, CRM architecture, backend logic, AI systems. The standard I hold everything to is simple — if it needs a human in the loop to keep working, it isn't finished.

My default stack is deliberately boring and cheap to run: Cloudflare's edge (Workers, D1, KV, R2, Queues) plus the Claude API, with an MCP server in every repo so the systems can be operated by agents, not just monitored by people. Main Street AI is the same philosophy pointed at nonprofits — enterprise-grade tooling at ~$4 a month.

Open to freelance and full-time AI engineering & automation work.
