ABOUT THE PROJECTS. I run a curated marketplace on Shopify (The Ever Good) and I am building out an AI automation system to handle routine tasks in the business. I am AI-savvy and have built a Python agent myself, so I understand what I am asking for. I have the architecture planned and the business requirements semi-documented for each piece. I simply do not have the time to build everything I want to build, which is why I need a developer to work alongside me. The first project is a product review collection and import system. If it goes well, there is ongoing work building out additional agents over time, one at a time. This is a potential long-term engagement depending on how the first project goes. WHAT WE ARE BUILDING. The overall system is a set of AI agents that handle specific business tasks and route outputs to a simple dashboard where I can review, approve, and trigger actions before anything goes live. The dashboard is a Lovable build that gives me a single place to monitor agent status, review outputs, and approve or return anything that needs a human decision before it moves forward. Agents are planned across several areas of the business. We will build one at a time. I will walk you through the requirements for each before you start. Examples of agents here by business category (these could change): - MARKETPLACE & CATALOG. Product Reviews (first project), Catalog Enrichment and SEO, Pricing and Margin Monitor, New Product Auto-Pricer, Maker Stories, Maker Audit, Maker Analytics, Review Monitor. - CONTENT & SOCIAL. Content Generation, Cultural Moment Monitor, Social Publishing, Pinterest Curator, Instagram DM Automation, Image Production, Founder Content Amplifier. - MARKETING & ADS. Email Sequences, Paid Media Director, Ads Performance Monitor, LinkedIn Outreach. - SEO and Search. SEO and AI Search Visibility, Crawl Error and Redirects. - THE SCHOOL (Our Coaching Offerings).

Profit Police, Cash Flow Forecaster, Financial Health Monitor, System Health Monitor. - CUSTOMER SERVICE & GIFTING. Customer Service Drafts, Gift Inquiry and Proposals, Basket Assembler. OUR TECH STACK (Could Change). - AI AGENT BUILDING STACK. Claude Code, Claude API, Python, Make.com, Replit, Lovable, Google Sheets API, Baserow. - OTHER BUSINESS SYSTEMS. Shopify API, DropCommerce API, Matrixify, Typeform, Stripe API, Yotpo API, Klaviyo API, Instagram Business API, Later API, Pinterest API, ManyChat API, Bannerbear API, LinkedIn API, Google Analytics 4 API, Google Search Console API, DataForSEO API, QuickBooks Online API, Google Drive API. HOW WE WORK. - HOURLY. Collaborative and iterative engagement. - REQUIREMENTS. We review together before each build and refine as we go. - QA. I handle testing and QA on my end. - DOCUMENTATION. All work is documented throughout with decision logs and handoff notes so full ownership and control remains with me at every stage. - IP.

We're seeking a skilled Full Stack Developer to join our team. You'll debug and resolve errors within our applications, support improvements, troubleshoot issues, and integrate our apps with our CRM system. Just as important: you'll help keep our GHL-based AI agent and voice AI systems running smoothly for live clients. Read the whole post before applying. We've written it to be direct on purpose. If any of it doesn't sound like you, that's okay , please self-select out. We'd rather know now. What we're looking for We need a contributor, not just a doer. That means someone who takes initiative, spots issues before they become problems for the client, and drives toward solutions instead of waiting to be told what to do next. If you're the type who finds the answer rather than asking us for it, you'll do well here. If you need your hand held on every step, this isn't the right fit. We work with live clients on voice AI and AI agents, so being proactive and responsive is not optional. When something breaks or drifts, we need you evaluating, fixing, and improving it, thinking forward about the end-user experience, not just reacting after a client complains. Responsibilities • Debug and provide solutions for errors in web and mobile applications.. • Support ongoing improvements and optimizations.. • Troubleshoot technical issues efficiently, ideally before they reach the client.. • Integrate applications with our CRM system (GoHighLevel / GHL) for seamless functionality.. • Connect systems and third-party services via APIs to enhance platform capabilities.. • Support, adjust, and maintain GHL AI agents and voice AI workflows so they perform reliably for clients.. Requirements • Proven experience as a Full Stack Developer.. • Strong proficiency in front-end and back-end technologies (e.g., JavaScript, React, Node.js, Python, etc.).. • Experience with GHL CRM integrations.. • Working knowledge of and comfort with GHL AI agents and automations — you don't need to be a specialist, but you should be able to get in, understand how they're built, make adjustments, and pick things up quickly.. • Familiarity with or genuine willingness to dig into voice AI. We expect everyone on the team to be able to work with it.. • Proficiency in designing and implementing REST-based API connections.. • Excellent problem-solving and debugging skills.. • Ability to work independently, take initiative, and meet deadlines.. How we work • We're engaging you — not your agency. The person we hire is the person doing the work. If you subcontract or hand work to others, this isn't a fit.. • Short leash, high trust. Everyone starts on a trial basis. We give people room to learn, but you'll need to learn fast, dive in, and prove it quickly. If you're trying to learn the fundamentals on the job, this role isn't for you.. • Own your outcomes. Bring the thinking, not just the hands. Recognize what the end user's experience will be and drive it.. If that sounds like the environment you want, we'd love to hear from you.

Project: Exponentials – AI-Powered Personalized Discovery Platform Overview Exponentials is an AI-powered personalized discovery platform built around a simple but ambitious idea: The internet is optimized for search, advertising, and recommendation systems that push information toward users. We believe the next major category is personalized discovery: AI systems that understand intent and help users discover the most relevant products, services, experiences, education, healthcare resources, media, travel opportunities, software, and knowledge. We have already built a working investor-facing prototype: https://pull-discovery-core.base44.app The current demo allows users to enter natural-language queries and receive AI-generated discovery recommendations across multiple categories. Rather than simply returning traditional search results, the platform attempts to identify user intent, explain why recommendations were selected, and surface relevant discoveries spanning products, experiences, education, media, travel, wellness, software, and more. The visual design and core concept are strong. The next stage is transforming the prototype into a compelling investor-ready product while building the systems, automation, and fundraising infrastructure needed to support rapid growth. This is not a typical freelance coding project. We am looking for someone who can operate as a founding-level contributor and help bridge product development, investor readiness, fundraising operations, and strategic execution. Primary Mission Your primary mission is to help Exponentials become significantly more attractive to investors, strategic partners, and future customers. This includes strengthening the product itself, improving investor confidence, and creating the operational systems needed to raise capital efficiently. Primary Responsibilities Investor Readiness and Fundraising Infrastructure This is the highest-priority responsibility. Help design and implement systems that support fundraising, including: Investor CRM Investor pipeline management Investor segmentation Relationship tracking Outreach automation Follow-up systems Meeting scheduling workflows Investor updates Data room organization Due diligence preparation Fundraising dashboards Pipeline analytics Experience with tools such as HubSpot, Airtable, Clay, Notion, Apollo, Instantly, Zapier, Make, Gmail automation, and similar platforms is highly valuable. Investor Demo Optimization The Exponentials demo is intended to help investors understand the long-term vision of personalized discovery. Responsibilities include: Improving demo quality Strengthening credibility Improving recommendation quality Eliminating weak or broken experiences Creating compelling investor journeys Improving onboarding Improving first impressions Increasing confidence in the product vision The goal is to create a demo that immediately communicates why Exponentials could become an important platform category. Discovery Engine Improvement The product currently attempts to identify intent and recommend discoveries across multiple industries. Areas of focus include: Intent detection Entity discovery Recommendation quality Result ranking Trust and credibility Explanation systems Entity resolution Verified recommendations Multi-category discovery experiences Categories include: Ecommerce Education Healthcare Media Travel Experiences Restaurants Wellness Software Consumer products Experience with recommendation systems, search, retrieval, ranking, AI workflows, knowledge systems, or discovery products is highly desirable. Exponentials Investment Thesis Why this is inevitable — 8 core arguments 1 Exponentials is solving the AI backlash via the co-evolution of AI and humans in the service of human needs, and thus moving from the current extraction model of AI to a collaborative model. For Exponentials, this is moving past discovery silos to create unified discovery across (initially, $25 trillion TAM) Ecommerce, healthcare, education and media. This is accomplished through the combination of Search, LLM's and World models 2 AI can't be (optimally) successful if too many of its (potential) customers are fearful of or dislike AI 3 AI is feared and disliked (in addition to loved), as customers are smart enough to realize that AI is employing an extraction model on humans rather than a collaborative model with humans in the service of human needs 4 Major tech CEO's telling the public that they are wrong to have negative views about AI is insulting one's customer 5 If the AI industry wants to get into a war with the public it will be a stalemate at best. AI has enough perceived benefits already and the AI companies are powerful enough that they can impose their will on the public to a certain degree, but 6 It is inevitable that the AI companies who actually give the customers what they want and what truly benefits them, by flipping from the push to the pull model, will have a sustainable competitive advantage, with both inevitability and defensibility. 7 Famously, the future is already here. It is just not evenly distributed. And famously, there is nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come. 8 We are not selling technology. We are not selling a model of AI. We are selling an empowered path for humanity that is inevitable and defensible because the AI backlash is real and not sustainable long term.

We are looking for an expert backend developer and automation engineer to extend an existing, production-grade Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and overhaul its orchestration layer. The headline correction for this project: the existing Lawfather MCP is to be retained and extended, not rebuilt. It already exposes deterministic, parameterized Playwright tools for every required county portal (District Clerk, HCSO, HCDAO) and a client database. Those backend tools are the reliable layer and are not the source of the instability this project exists to fix. The instability lives entirely in the orchestration layer — the model-driven layer that decides when and how to call the tools. The fix is to move deterministic control out of model-followed prose and into code, and to host the agent on an always-on machine with persistent memory. Core Project Principles • Extend, Don't Rebuild: Retain and extend the existing MCP; do not re-implement portal scrapers from scratch. • Code Over Prompts: Deterministic logic lives strictly in tool code, never in instructions the model must remember each session. • No Caller Loops: Batch operations must run to completion server-side. No operation may require the caller (model) to loop. • Agnostic Architecture: The system must remain model-agnostic and host-agnostic. No single provider — Anthropic, OpenAI, Z.ai/GLM, or Nous — may be a hard dependency. • Privilege First: Client data stays on owned hardware; the model is never the gatekeeper of which case a file belongs to. Existing Tool Inventory (To Be Inherited As-Is) The following tools already exist on the production MCP (containerized on a local Synology NAS) and are in daily use. Re-deriving their behavior is completely out of scope: • hcdc_get_docket: Court settings by date range + bar number (District Clerk). • hcdc_check_filings: Per case: standard defense filings present vs. missing. • hcdc_download_filings: Images-tab documents: bulk OR selective by filters; dest_subfolder; dry_run. Note: The parameterized download tools already cover most retrieval requests. "All filings," "this filing," "all subpoenas," "all resets," and "everything filed that day" are argument combinations on this tool, not separate features. • hcso_locate: Defendant custody location (facility / floor / pod) by SPN. • hcdao_grab_file: Download a single named file from the DA portal Files tab. • hcdao_download_discovery: Batch / delta discovery download from the DA portal. • hcdao_download_media_alert: Batch-download files listed in a 'New Media Available' portal email. • hcdao_case_summary: Scrape the Case Jacket quick summary / DAO narrative. • hcdao_plea_offer: Scrape current plea offer + full offer history. • hcdao_assigned_ada: Assigned ADA name / email / phone on a case. • lookup_client / list_clients: Resolve / list clients from the shared client database. Scoped Work (Paid Deliverables) 1. County Case Resolver (New Tool): Find a case from partial identifiers — any subset of (name, SPN, DOB, court, cause). Searches county systems (not just the local client DB). MUST return a ranked candidate list for the user to choose from; MUST NEVER auto-select. Wrong-defendant selection is a privilege failure, not a cosmetic bug. 2. Latest-Version Retrieval: Add scope=latest to hcdao_grab_file so 'most recent' selects the newest among supplements instead of the first match. 3. Async Transcribe Tool (Skill to Tool Promotion): Build a deterministic MCP tool using Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview for transcription, followed by a second pass that sends the transcript back with case context for cleanup (speaker mapping, defense-moment preamble). Long-running: implement as an async job (submit to job id to poll to fetch), NOT a synchronous call. 4. OCR Tool (Skill to Tool Promotion): Implement a readability check on ingest. If a document is not cleanly readable, FLAG it and ASK before sending to Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview for OCR. OCR must be gated and confirmed, never automatic. 5. Server-Side Batch Jobs: Move all chunk, loop, delta, and throttle logic OFF the caller and INTO the tool code. One call runs the batch to completion. 6. Queued HCDAO Fixes: For hcdao_download_discovery, add a portal_ids filter for targeted single-file pulls and a custom output-path / Drive-folder destination feature. Known Portal Quirks to Handle from Day One • hcdc_get_docket returns a broader date range than requested; results must be filtered to the requested window. • hcdao_download_discovery delta detection is blind to files organized into dated subfolders and must be explicitly handled. • Court DG7 does not surface through standard bar-number docket lookup and requires separate handling. • The Playwright Node.js driver subprocess can die silently while database tools respond; you must health-check the driver proactively. Orchestration, Host Layer, & Deployment Topology • Target Host: Hermes Agent (Nous Research) running as the persistent shell, providing persistent memory, the scheduler, and messaging surfaces. The MCP server will plug directly into it. • Agnostic LLM Routing: Default the agent/dispatch role to the most reliable tool-calling model (currently Claude Opus). Route bulk, non-critical generations (draft summaries, transcript cleanup) to a cheaper model (e.g., GLM-5.2). No provider may be hard-wired. Per-tool pins are allowed strictly for transcription/OCR tasks (pinned to Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview). • Memory Fencing: Hermes's persistent memory and learning loops must remain enabled to accumulate facts and user preferences. However, the agent must be strictly fenced from self-editing or rewriting its own mechanical execution paths (portals, downloads, filings), which must remain frozen in MCP tool code. • Hardware Deployment Infrastructure: • Always-on Brain: M1 Pro MacBook Pro (16 GB, mains-powered, lid open) running the Hermes gateway, Messages.app, and a BlueBubbles iMessage bridge. Must be fully automated via launchd services to handle headless crash recovery, auto-login, and sleep prevention (pmset autorestart / caffeinate). • Tools and Storage: Synology NAS (10.0.0.149) hosting the Lawfather MCP container, local client folders, and Drive sync. • Private Network: Tailscale mesh across all devices for secure remote access without open inbound ports. Acceptance Criteria for Sign-Off • No batch operation requires the caller to iterate. • The case resolver returns ranked candidates and never auto-selects. • Transcription runs seamlessly as an async two-stage job surviving multi-hour files without timing out. • OCR never fires automatically on low-readability files without gated confirmation. • Zero regressions on the existing MCP tool inventory. • The Resiliency Test: The full stack successfully restarts completely unattended after a host reboot or simulated power loss, and is reachable via iMessage/SMS immediately after. • Self-editing is fenced on mechanical download/filing paths. Hard Guardrails • Privilege: Downloads route strictly to the correct client folder; a wrong-case match is treated as a severe defect, not a warning. Privileged audio/discovery data stays on owned hardware where the chosen model allows. • Determinism: Repeatable steps live entirely in tool code, never in prompts. • Agnosticism: Model and host layers must remain fully swappable without modifying the core MCP tools. Before quoting "done," you will be expected to confirm live portal behaviors regarding District Clerk document labels, DA portal stable identifiers, and county search surfaces. How to Apply Please submit a proposal detailing your specific experience with MCP architectures, Playwright browser automation, and macOS/Docker DevOps automation. Anti-Bot Filtering: To prove you read this entire scope, please start your application with the phrase "PROTECT THE LAW" in all caps.
