Carr VenturesCustom AI systems, built around your business.
I'm Alexander Carr. I design and build bespoke AI systems — custom CRMs, internal knowledge assistants, and workflow automation — shaped around how your business already runs. Frontier tooling, delivered lean, remote, and in plain English.
A decade in the trenches of small-business IT — now pointed at AI.
I started fixing networks and servers in 2014, long before “AI” showed up on anyone's invoice. That grounding is the whole point: I know how a real business actually runs, where the friction hides, and what breaks when you bolt shiny new tech onto old systems.
Today I bring frontier AI tooling to companies that could never justify a Bay-Area consultancy — one operator, no account managers, no markup.
Bespoke AI, built around how you already work.
AI engineering & bespoke systems
Most of my week. I build AI directly into how your business runs — not a chatbot bolted on the side, but custom systems shaped around your real documents, your workflow, and your team.
- —Custom internal tools & CRMs shaped to how you actually sell
- —Agent workflows: quoting, scheduling, intake, support
- —Retrieval over your real documents, with a cited source on every answer
- —Evals, observability & guardrails — the boring stuff that keeps it running
IT consulting
Right-sized IT for small and mid-size business — migrations, M365 / Google Workspace, identity, networking, and vendor sanity-checks so you don't overpay.
Aerial imaging
FAA Part 107 drone work around the Twin Cities — commercial real estate and construction progress. A side project I still enjoy, not the main event.
Bespoke builds, real outcomes.
AI upload, CRM & client onboarding
Built an internal system that handles document upload, CRM, and client onboarding end-to-end — with AI guiding intake, organizing records, and moving each new client through onboarding automatically.
Manual search for an airport Mx shop
Built a system that lets an airport maintenance shop search across their internal manuals and pull the exact procedure they need in seconds — every answer tied back to the source document and page.
Intake-to-dispatch automation
Rebuilt a manual request pipeline into a connected workflow — requests come in, get triaged, and reach the right person automatically. Days to hours.
Recurring aerial progress capture
Stitched ortho-imagery and edit-ready video on a standing schedule across commercial sites — delivered same-week, FAA Part 107 compliant.
Principles, not a pitch deck.
Smaller, sooner
The smallest useful thing in two weeks beats the perfect thing in six months. AI is no exception.
Humans in the loop
Especially for anything that touches money, contracts, or a customer's inbox. AI drafts; people decide.
Evaluate like software
If you can't measure it, you can't trust it. Evals before scale, every time.
Plain English
If I can't explain it to the owner of the business in ten minutes, the design is wrong.
Got a workflow that ought to be quieter — or one that doesn't exist yet?
Tell me what's eating your time. I'll tell you straight whether AI, a smarter workflow, or better IT is the right tool — and what it'd take. One or two new engagements at a time.
