Colby Smith · AI Systems · Automation

I build systems that run without you.

Production AI tools, automation pipelines, and MCP servers on Cloudflare and Claude. If it still needs a human to keep working, I'm not done.

Colby Smith, AI systems and automation engineer

About

The engineer behind the automation.

I'm Colby — co-founder of More Than Momentum, an AI-native marketing agency in southern New Hampshire. I run the engine room: the automation pipelines, CRM architecture, and AI systems behind our 60-second lead response.

My default stack is deliberately cheap and boring to operate — Cloudflare's edge plus the Claude API — and every major repo I ship includes an MCP server so agents can operate it, not just people. Main Street AI, my open-source project, points that same approach at nonprofits.

B.S. in Business Management from Keene State (Dec 2025), 8 Anthropic certifications, and a habit of shipping with a P&L attached.

Selected work

What I've shipped.

Real systems with real links. Where client code is private, the public repo documents the architecture.

Production · Co-founder

MTM Lead-Ops Suite

Eleven internal AI tools that run our client acquisition — lead scoring, prospect research, call intelligence, proposals, reporting. Prospect research went from 30–45 minutes to about 20 seconds. Four of them are simulated in the demos below.

  • Pages Functions
  • D1
  • Claude Haiku + Sonnet
  • GoHighLevel
  1. Row added to spreadsheet
  2. CRM sub-account created
  3. Claude generates the site
  4. Embed codes injected
  5. Deployed to Cloudflare Pages

Production

Client Onboarding Pipeline

One click in a spreadsheet runs the flow above — 60–90 minutes of setup down to 2–4. Built so a retry can never create a client twice.

  • Workers ×3
  • Queues
  • KV
  • Claude Sonnet

Open source · Live

Main Street AI

A free AI platform for nonprofits and small businesses — ten modules designed, five built, one live. It replaces about $2,800/yr of SaaS for roughly $4 a month in API cost. I designed the architecture and wrote every module.

  • Cloudflare Workers
  • D1
  • Claude API
  • MCP

Outpace — Scheduler & Site

A self-hosted social scheduler and a full site rebuild for an EOS coaching firm — YouTube resumable uploads inside a 128 MB Worker, cron publishing that can't double-post. Runs entirely on Cloudflare's free tier.

  • Hono.js
  • React

Interactive demos

One pipeline, start to finish.

Audit a business, find and score leads, then turn one scored lead into a personalized email or call script — the same flow the real internal tools run. Browser-only simulations: no live model, no keys, nothing leaves this page.

Simulated demo · Step 1

Website & Prospect Analysis

Audit a business's web presence. The real tool returns this brief in ~20 seconds.

Simulated demo · Step 2

Lead Finder & Scoring

Find local businesses and score how much they need the work. All results are fictional.

Simulated demo · Step 3

Personalized Email

Continues with Granite Row Plumbing & Heating — the example lead from Step 2. Extra research first, then an email built on what it found.

Simulated demo · Step 3

Personalized Call Script

Same example lead, same research — Granite Row Plumbing & Heating — turned into talking points for a first call instead of an email.
