AI Consultant & Creative Technologist

What is this?

This is Aria, an AI assistant powered by OpenAI's latest GPT-5 models. She can answer questions about my work, expertise, and consulting services by understanding context and retrieving relevant information from the site content.

How did I build it?

I used semantic search with AI embeddings to create a knowledge base from articles, guides, case studies, and Q&A entries. When you ask a question, the system finds the most relevant content and uses GPT-5 to generate accurate, contextual answers in real-time with streaming responses.

Why does this matter?

This demonstrates the power of AI to create intelligent, context-aware assistants that provide instant, accurate answers—exactly the kind of workflow automation I help teams implement. It's a practical example of how AI can transform how we interact with information and expertise.

Curiosity

Aria knows more than just my professional work—she understands my personal interests too. Ask her about my music preferences, favorite films, or hobbies, and she'll draw from a knowledge base that includes my Last.fm listening history, cinema interests, and more.

How does Aria know my music taste? I use a scrobbler (a music tracking app) that automatically records what I listen to on Spotify, Apple Music, or other streaming services. This data is sent to Last.fm, which builds a profile of my listening habits. Aria connects to Last.fm's API to fetch my 5 most recent tracks and my top 10 all-time favorite artists, then includes this information in her knowledge base. This means she can tell you what I've been listening to recently or discuss my favorite artists—showing how AI can create a more complete, human-like understanding of context.

How does booking a call work? When Aria detects that someone might benefit from a strategy call (for example, when they ask about consulting services, pricing, or have a complex project question), she automatically suggests booking a call. She provides a clickable link to the contact page, which includes an embedded Calendly scheduler. Calendly checks my real calendar to find available slots, so visitors can see my actual availability in real-time and book a meeting directly—no back-and-forth emails needed. It's a seamless way to convert interest into actual conversations.
