What Robin builds — the technology

Not a tool user. A system architect: every layer of an automated business system, designed and built hands-on.

🤖

AI agents & automation

Autonomous multi-agent workflows that run a business day and night: LLM orchestration across cloud and local models, RAG knowledge bases, OCR document pipelines, speech-to-text transcription at production scale, and automated SMS workflows — scheduled campaigns, customer recall and notification blasts.

🗄️

Data & backends

Python and Flask services, SQLite and PostgreSQL databases, the Supabase cloud data platform, authentication and session systems, scheduled jobs and clean REST APIs behind every front end.

🔌

Integrations & infrastructure

The glue that makes systems automatic: Gmail API, WeCom/WeChat webhooks, Tailscale private networks, remote cloud deployment, and Git-versioned delivery — every change tracked, every system reachable.

💳

Commerce & client systems

Stripe payments, quote-to-order workflows, client portals with secure login, e-signature agreements with full audit trails, and admin tooling the business can run without a developer.

🎬

AI media pipeline

AI image and video generation, ComfyUI workflow engineering, and automated multi-platform publishing — marketing output as a repeatable production line, not a service you pay for by the hour.

🧠

Local & cost-optimised AI

Local LLMs running on in-house hardware, hybrid cloud/local routing that keeps token costs near zero, and private data that never leaves the network — frontier capability without enterprise burn rate.

Delivered work — the track record

Snail AI was founded in late 2025. In under a year, Robin's systems went live across healthcare, trade, hire and wholesale — real deployments, running today.

🏥

Specialist medical clinic — modernisation

Complete rebuild of a specialist clinic's public presence: editorial-grade website, structured service and practitioner information, and secure digital agreement signing with multi-party tracking and a full audit trail. Clinical systems untouched — by design.

Wholesale trading company — full AI transformation

An import and wholesale distribution business replacing A$65,000+/year of legacy subscriptions — old ERP, e-commerce SaaS and remote access tools — with self-built systems: finance with ATO PAYG compliance, an AI procurement assistant for trade-fair buying, container-load calculation, and an AI video production line for marketing. Ongoing, phased delivery.

The person behind the systems

Systems are Robin's native language. AI just gave that instinct a set of power tools.

Built systems his whole career — with unusual instinct

Two decades of running real businesses across e-commerce, trade and property in Sydney taught Robin where a business leaks time and money — and what the system behind it wants to become. Colleagues describe an unusual aptitude: show him a messy process once, and he can already see the clean architecture underneath it. It's not training; it's how he thinks.

Frontier AI, mastered and shipped

When a new model or agent framework is released, it moves from Robin's test bench into a production system within days — not quarters. He runs hybrid cloud and local AI, knows exactly what each model is good at, and applies the frontier where it pays for itself. The result is automation capability that most businesses won't see for years.

A master who trains masters

Robin is the founder and lead instructor of Snail AI Academy, where he has personally trained a cohort of practitioners — many of whom now build and deliver client systems of their own: websites, automations and AI tools delivered to real businesses. The DJ Workwear and BC Audio Solutions projects above were delivered under his architecture with graduates of his programme.

Businessman first, engineer second

Every system Robin builds starts with a P&L question, not a technology choice. He runs companies himself, understands staff constraints and the difference between a demo and something a team uses on a Monday morning — and he'll tell you when the honest answer is "don't spend money on this yet". His commercial model is deliberately unusual: the build cost is set at roughly one year of your current subscription spend — after the payback period, the subscriptions stop and the system is yours.
