AI agent automation
Agents do the legwork. You make the calls.
I design and build AI agents for small businesses and B2B teams. They handle the searching, sorting and first drafts that fill your week, on a schedule, on your own accounts.

What an agent can take on
Repetitive work with clear rules
If you can explain how you decide, an agent can do the first pass. These are the kinds of jobs I build for.
Inbox and document triage
Reads what comes in, labels and files it, and pulls the key fields from invoices, forms and PDFs into a sheet.
- Runs
- When mail or a file arrives
- You get
- A sorted inbox and a clean sheet
Product catalog cleanup
Checks supplier product files for missing specs, duplicates and odd prices before they reach your store or catalog. Built on six years running a manufacturer catalog platform.
- Runs
- When a supplier file lands
- You get
- A clean file and a short list to review
Quote builder
Takes a customer's request, checks price and stock across your distributors, and drafts the quote for you to send. Built on work on real-time pricing links to 20+ IT distributors.
- Runs
- When a quote request comes in

How an engagement runs
Small first version, then tune it
Rules session
About an hour. You walk me through how you decide today, using real examples.
First version
I build it and set it running on your accounts, with a log you can check.
Two weeks of tuning
You read what it produces and tell me what's wrong. I fix it.
After that
Changes when you need them, billed by the hour.
You own itThe code, the data and the settings are yours, on your accounts.
No scrapingLicensed data and official connectors only. Nothing that breaks a site's terms.
Fixed price to startSetup and the first version are quoted after the rules session.
About
Rich Vilar
Principal, Vilar Consulting. San Clemente, California.
I have 18 years in B2B software, most of them as a product manager. At Supplyframe, part of Siemens, I owned the BOM and RFQ modules of its supply-chain platform. Before that I spent 13 years at CBS Interactive, where I ran a product-information platform that held 12 million manufacturer products across 30 markets at its peak, and worked on a B2B ecommerce product.
Product work is mostly figuring out how people really make decisions. That's the same question an agent needs answered before it can take work off your plate.
