The systems

Workbench

Every note on this site was learned on one of these. They're listed like the equipment they are — what it does, what it's made of, whether it's earning. No slide-deck versions.

AUTOMOTIVE AI IN SERVICE

AI Mechanic ↗

Automotive AI for the UK: full vehicle checks, an AI diagnostic engine grounded in a curated knowledge base, repair training, live OBD data and a mobile app. The flagship — and the system most of these notes were learned on.

  • diagnosis engine + verifier
  • vehicle data pipelines
  • knowledge base grounding
  • native mobile app
BUSINESS AI IN SERVICE

T-PACE ↗

Business AI platform: technical SEO suite, trend detection, four-stage content pipeline, WordPress auto-publishing and social distribution — orchestrated across seven LLM providers with an agent fleet.

  • 7-provider model routing
  • content pipeline
  • agent fleet + action queue
  • human-in-the-loop approvals
THE TRADE IN SERVICE

SBC / ECU Repair ↗

The bench work that pays for all of this: Mercedes SBC brake units and ECUs repaired at component level. Twenty years of fault-finding discipline — the methodology every AI system here inherits.

  • component-level repair
  • bench diagnostics
  • OBD/CAN tooling
IN-HOUSE AGENTS PRIVATE FLEET

Hermes & Dexter

The agents that run the shop: a diagnostic gateway that talks to real vehicles over CAN, and an assistant wired into my own infrastructure, my own rules, my own data. Not products — colleagues. They don't get a public URL; they get a column.

  • diagnostic gateway + CAN relay
  • LLM diagnosis routing
  • workshop automation
IRON EARNING ITS KEEP

The Local AI Stack

GPU server (8× RTX 3090, EPYC, 256GB), Proxmox virtualisation, local models, image generation pipelines, and a small fleet of mini PCs. Built like workshop equipment — every machine bought for a job, every job logged.

  • 8× RTX 3090 inference + imaging
  • local model serving
  • overnight batch pipelines
