One person. A fleet of AI agents.
Fourteen products built to be loved.
I'm David Kooi. I run a one-person, AI-native product studio in Colorado — I design, build, and ship software, and I measure success by one thing: whether someone would tell a friend about it.
How one person runs fourteen products
A manager AI runs a team of specialist agents — one per product — over a shared channel everyone can see. I step in only for taste, strategy, and the calls a human must make.
Built to be beloved
I don't optimize for downloads. I optimize for whether someone would tell a friend about it.
One founder, a fleet of agents
A manager AI runs one specialist agent per product. I step in only for the calls a human must make.
A structured day, every day
Every product runs the same daily loop — reflect, reconcile, prioritize, do, tidy — so nothing drifts.
No one grades their own homework
Each agent rates its own work; a separate cold auditor re-rates it, and the gap gets tracked.
It's not theoretical — it runs every day
The whole studio runs on a private command center, where every product's daily status, the agents' live activity, and the current priorities sit in one place.

ChatDDK is an AI persona trained on my writing, history, and frameworks — it thinks and writes like me on a good day. Ask it about AI, product, philosophy, or what I'm building.
Chat with ChatDDKI co-founded and led Jointly (2018–2025), a cannabis-wellness platform that grew past 500,000 downloads and launched the industry's first AI-powered product-recommendation assistant. Earlier I built and sold Santa Monica Mountains Cyclery to Trek Bicycle after ten straight years of growth, and ran a $1B+ distribution operation at McMaster-Carr. I hold an MBA from Chicago Booth, a B.A. from Northwestern, and a B.S. in Computer Science from Oregon State. I write about AI, philosophy, and product on Uncaged Minds.
