Fuse: AI Content Strategist for YouTube Creators

Fuse is an AI content strategist for YouTube creators. It connects to a channel, analyzes every video, audience signal, and growth trend, then tells creators exactly what to make next: the topics, titles, and formats most likely to grow the channel, including the videos they should stop making. Full-stack product (Next.js, MongoDB, deployed on Railway) with a growth funnel instrumented end to end on PostHog, from first visit through signup, activation, trial, and paid conversion. Engineered for both classic search and AI answer engines: a structured SEO foundation across content hubs and head-to-head comparison pages, plus an AEO program built to get Fuse cited directly inside AI-generated answers through clean schema, earned mentions, and quotable data studies. Distribution runs across multiple instrumented channels: founder-led LinkedIn content with comment-gated lead magnets, cold outbound to high-fit creators via Lemlist, and an agent-native surface (a public MCP server) that drops Fuse directly inside the AI tools creators already work in. Every channel is tracked back to activation and paid signal, not vanity reach. Monetization is a reverse-trial SaaS model: free to start, with Pro and Studio tiers that gate the deepest insights, scripting, and multi-channel tools. Pricing, packaging, and paywall placement are all built around the single activation moment where a creator first sees exactly what to make next.See More

Front Range Tree Finder

A free tool that helps Front Range gardeners pick the right tree for their exact conditions. Built on CSU and local extension data, it filters hundreds of species by mature size, water needs, sun, soil, and what actually survives Colorado's clay, hail, and late freezes, including the trees you should NOT plant. Full static-site build with an analytics-instrumented growth funnel on PostHog. Engineered for both classic search and AI answer engines: a structured SEO foundation across content hubs and head-to-head comparison pages, plus an AEO program built to get the tool cited directly inside AI-generated answers through clean schema, earned mentions, and a data study designed to be quotable. Distribution proved out on Reddit, where authentic shares of the tool drove real traffic and engagement compounding into organic visibility on Bing and DuckDuckGo. Monetization is supply-side: the audience of high-intent homeowners planning real tree and landscape o leads for vetted local landscapers and nursery placements rather than ads.See More
