Automations — Brandon Crenshaw

Automations — Brandon CrenshawThe agentic pipelines behind the products, plus production blueprints for support triage, invoice intake, contract review, access provisioning, renewal risk and agent release gating. Every graph drawn from the workflow, every design labelled as a design.

Lobstack: A receipt for every model call — An OpenAI-compatible gateway whose real output is not the routing. It is the line underneath: which model served the call, what it cost, and what any saving was measured against.

Circuit: The conversation is the canvas — An MCP server that turns a sentence into a workflow board and then runs it one deterministic step at a time — on the connectors you already gave Claude, holding no credentials of its own.

GLOWUP: The app holds no secrets — A consumer photo-analysis app where the phone never sees a model key, every result passes a schema and hard bounds before it is saved, and minors never get a generated image.

ROAM: The model never makes up a number — Travel ranking where deterministic engines compute every score and fact, and the language model may only explain them, with its citations checked against the evidence it was given.

Jobhunter: Retrieval was the easy half — A job-search agent that scored roles with hybrid retrieval, then learned the expensive way that a plausible email address is not a contact. One in four inferred addresses delivered; published ones, nine in ten.
