sup nerds 👋
Software solopreneur. I run Good Robot Co and ship small products on the side.
currently shipping noyu
Nowheads-down on client work, growing ClusterDesk and noyu by showing up daily.
I'm Ben. I run Good Robot Co, a one-person shop that builds automation for local service businesses. Think faster replies to new leads, follow-ups that happen on their own, and a steadier stream of reviews.
On the side I build small products and share the work as I go. This page is where I keep them and the numbers behind them. No team, no funding, just me and code.
What I'm building
Pickup Studio
Auto-generates AI voice-receptionist demos for small businesses
Hot Take
Bets on tomorrow's NYC temperature using weather models.
GeoToMarket
Turns geopolitical events into market trade ideas.
Carte
Turns a restaurant's messy menu into a clean QR web menu.
Raincheck
Puts the weather forecast inside your Google Calendar.
PickleRadar
Finds every pickleball tournament near Houston.
ClusterDesk
Flags stocks where several insiders are buying at once.
noyu
Helps you stay close to the people who matter.
🚀 TinyShip You don't have a building problem. You have a shipping problem. Last week: 353 commits, 1 launch. So I built a wall that counts launches, not commits, and dares me to keep it alive. Ship tiny. Ship ugly. Ship today.
A real product someday. For now, it's just mine. · follow the build ↗
