Work with Manito

We don't consult. We deliver.

Manito is Andrew Clapp's AI studio in Spokane, WA. I build the AI system your business needs—an automation that kills a manual process, an AI feature inside your product, an MCP server, or a roadmap when you're not sure where to start. Fixed scope, fixed price, weeks not quarters.

What I build

Five ways to put AI to work

AI automation builds

$3–8K · 2–4 weeks

The repetitive work your team does by hand—email triage, scheduling, data entry, report writing—done by software. Scoped in a week, delivered in two to four.

AI features inside your product

Scoped per build

LLM-powered features added to the software you already sell, designed and shipped by someone who has done it at Fortune 500 scale.

MCP servers and AI integrations

2–3 weeks

I shipped GreatArrow's public MCP server, live in the official MCP Registry (ai.greatarrow/great-arrow). Yours takes two to three weeks.

AI roadmaps

Half-day session + written plan

A half-day working session plus a written plan: what to build, what to skip, what it costs. You keep the plan either way.

Fractional head of AI

$10K / month

Ongoing AI leadership for mid-size companies and funded startups: regular calls, roadmap reviews, build oversight. Most clients start with a fixed-scope build and convert up.

Why me

I build, and I've shipped.

21 years building product. Ran innovation at Travelers. Entrepreneur in Residence at Madrona Venture Labs. Three startups founded. And I ship my own products—GreatArrow is live in open beta with a public MCP server in the official MCP Registry.
