First automations running in 1–2 days

I set up AI agents.
You choose how private it gets.

Need maximum privacy? You get a Mac Mini with a local AI model — your data never leaves your office. Want to save money? I'll wire up a cloud provider instead. Either way, I handle the setup — your first automations are usually running in a day or two, with the full deployment wrapping up within a week depending on complexity.

What this looks like in practice

1. Hardware

You grab a Mac Mini (~EUR 700), use a desktop you already own, or rent a VPS from EUR 20/month. That's your AI's home.

2. Setup

I install OpenClaw or the right tool, connect it to your email, CRM, calendar — whatever you use daily. Security hardened, documented, tested.

3. Running

Within a day or two, your AI agent is sorting email, updating your CRM after calls, scheduling meetings, drafting documents — on its own. More complex workflows take longer, but the basics come first.

4. Yours forever

You own everything. The tools are free and open source. No subscriptions, no vendor lock-in. If we part ways, it all stays with you.

Something changed in late 2025

AI stopped being a thing you talk to and became a thing that works for you. The shift happened fast. OpenClaw made it possible for a business owner to wake up with an idea and have it automated by lunch — no developer required. And it's not the only one; a whole wave of AI agents hit the market between late 2025 and early 2026.

These aren't chatbots. An AI agent can open your browser, navigate websites, fill out forms, read your email, manage your calendar, update your CRM, and draft documents — all on its own. It's like hiring a tireless assistant who knows every system you use.

Your competitors are figuring this out right now. Some of them already have.

The good news? You don't need a massive IT budget or a dedicated AI team anymore. A focused deployment takes days, not months. And if it turns out automation isn't the right move for your business, I'll tell you that too.

What your AI agent handles

These are real tasks businesses automate within the first few days of setup. Not hypotheticals — actual workflows running right now on Mac Minis and office desktops across Europe.

Email sorted before you wake up

Priority inbox, draft replies, flagged items waiting for you

CRM updated after every call

Contact records, interaction logs, follow-up tasks — done automatically

Invoices processed overnight

Data extracted, matched, entered into your accounting software

Calendar managed without back-and-forth

Meetings booked, conflicts resolved, agendas sent

How I get you there

I'm not locked into one tool. OpenClaw, Claude Code, or a custom setup — I pick what fits your business, deploy it on your hardware, and make sure it actually works.

Free discovery call

30 minutes. I'll ask about your workflows, recommend the right tool, and tell you honestly if it's worth doing.

Agent deployment

OpenClaw, Claude Code, or custom — installed on your hardware, configured for your workflows, hardened for security.

Integration wiring

Email, CRM, calendar, messaging, databases — I connect your AI agent to the tools you already use.

Ongoing support

Monthly retainer for monitoring, updates, new workflows, and a direct line when things need tweaking.

Why work with me

A decade at MIT, partnered with Harvard

10 years at MIT Media Lab building one of the world's largest open-source news analysis platforms, in partnership with Harvard. Cited by the New York Times. 600+ scholarly papers. Backed by the Gates and Ford Foundations.

Technical, but I speak human

I started in journalism. That background means I listen first, ask the right questions, and explain things without jargon. You won't need a translator to work with me — whether you're running a dental practice or a logistics company.

Jack of all trades (on purpose)

I've worked across NLP, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, privacy tools, and media analysis. Every client's business is different — that breadth means I can walk into any industry and figure out what to automate without a six-week learning curve.

European, privacy-first, no pressure

Based in Vilnius. I understand GDPR, the EU AI Act, and European business culture. If automation isn't the right move for you, I'll say so. At Automattic (WordPress.com), I cut $500K/year in AWS costs — I care about your bottom line, not mine.

You pick the privacy level

Some businesses handle sensitive client data and can't risk a single document leaving their office. For them, I set up a Mac Mini with a local model — air-gapped if needed. Nothing phones home.

Others care more about cost or capability than total isolation. For them, I'll connect to a cloud AI provider like OpenAI or Anthropic — cheaper, often faster, and perfectly fine if your data isn't regulated. There's a middle ground too: a dedicated GPU server running an open-source model, hosted by a third party but controlled by us. Three options, your call.

Common questions

What exactly does Lobster Pack do?
I set up AI agents for European businesses. You tell me what's eating your time — email, CRM updates, scheduling, document processing — and I deploy the right tool on your hardware. Could be OpenClaw, Claude Code, or something custom. I handle the configuration, integrations, security hardening, and training. You own everything when I'm done.
What is OpenClaw?
OpenClaw is an open-source AI assistant that can read your email, manage your calendar, draft documents, connect to your CRM, and handle dozens of other tasks. Before tools like OpenClaw existed, automating any of that meant hiring a developer and waiting months. Now you can go from idea to working automation in a single day. The best part: it can run fully on your own hardware, meaning your data doesn't have to touch anyone else's servers if you don't want it to.
Will my business data be safe?
That depends on which setup you choose. If privacy is critical, I deploy a local model on a Mac Mini in your office — nothing leaves your building. If you'd rather save money or get access to stronger models, I can connect to a cloud AI provider instead. Your data would pass through their servers, but that's a tradeoff some businesses are fine with. We'll figure out the right option during the free call. Either way, I built a privacy-focused file transfer service before starting Lobster Pack — I take this stuff seriously.
Do I need a big budget to get started?
No. A full deployment starts at EUR 1,100. Before AI agents like OpenClaw existed, this kind of automation needed whole teams, months of strategy work, and big budgets. Now a single consultant can set it up in days. The discovery call is free — we'll figure out what makes sense before you spend anything.
What if AI automation isn't right for my business?
Then I'll tell you that. The discovery call is free, and I'm not here to sell you something you don't need. If automation doesn't make sense for your situation, you'll know why — and what might change that later.
Do you only work with businesses in Lithuania?
No. I'm based in Vilnius, but I work with companies across Europe. Remote deployments work just as well as on-site ones. Distance doesn't matter much when the setup happens over a call and the AI runs on your own hardware.
