Derik came in to help us find automation opportunities in our leadership development agency. We work with a lot of client information across tools: sales calls, proposals, onboarding docs, project plans. My team was easily spending one to two hours every new client onboarding just moving information around and consolidating it.
He helped me map the flow visually on a whiteboard, then teaching me alongside him in Claude Code, we integrated all those tools into one process. The agent now pulls the necessary information from every section and brings it into one cohesive view. When a few things broke a few days after testing, he got on a call with me and we troubleshot it together.
Working with Derik to build these AI agents has been fun, very worthwhile, with a huge ROI for my team. I'd highly recommend it to anyone.
