How it works

From scattered data to growing profit.

  1. 01

    Raw data, everywhere

    Orders, invoices, chats, stock counts and ad numbers pile up in different places and different shapes.

  2. 02

    Systems tidy it up

    I built or adapted about 20 systems that tidy sales, finance, stock, marketing and customer data.

  3. 03

    Connected and accessible

    The systems are joined up, with a single sign-in, so the data can be reached from one place.

  4. 04

    An AI that works across it all

    An AI desk that runs 50+ agents works across those systems. The top of the page shows a broadcast and a page test; four more:

  5. 4.1

    Checks the books, asks first

    Checks the books every working day, traces anything that doesn’t add up, and asks the head of finance before a single entry changes.

  6. 4.2

    Makes videos, schedules the liked ones

    An AI team writes, animates and schedules short videos across six platforms; I only pick the ones I like.

  7. 4.3

    Fixes bugs, ships to both stores

    Checks chat bug reports against the app’s records, fixes the real ones, has a second AI audit each fix, and ships after my go. One sweep: 14 reports, 3 real bugs.

  8. 4.4

    Sends each enquiry to the best closer

    Sends each chat enquiry to the teammate most likely to close it. Weekly weight updates need my OK, and it falls back to round-robin if results slip. About 5,200 routed since 6 Oct.

  9. 05

    And grows profit

    Better decisions, acted on sooner. The goal is more profit for the company.

An illustration of the approach. The broadcast, bug-sweep and enquiry figures are real; the pictures show how the work runs, not company data.

Who is building

I build the AI systems that run my own companies. My work spans customer conversations, CRM, accounting, social publishing, creative tools and my own AI mission-control deck.

Dien Limano

Some systems are in production; others are experiments in progress. I show the difference, including what failed and what I am still learning.

What I’ve built

Described by what each system does. Some are built from scratch, some adapted from open-source platforms.

01Mission control

An AI mission-control deck

Runs and coordinates 50+ live AI agents and 17 AI project leads across my companies, each lead owning an ongoing business or engineering goal.

Built since June 2026
02Sales

A customer-conversation and WhatsApp sales platform

Self-hosted shared inbox with sales-lead routing, attribution and sales reports. Adapted from an open-source platform.

84,000+ conversations
03Customers

A CRM and business hub

Customers, commerce, campaigns, ads, content and support in one place, with a single sign-in for the other internal apps.

67,000+ customers
04Creative

An AI ad-creative engine

Generates, analyses and publishes ad creatives for paid campaigns.

Nearly 5,000 AI creatives
05Finance

Accounting and finance for two companies

Documents, financial reports, stock, tax and payroll, built to replace the previous accounting software.

Used by the finance team
06Models

Commercial model it replaces74.6%

My own fine-tuned decision model

Makes routine automated judgements for the agents. It beat the commercial model it replaces on our internal benchmark.

88.6% vs 74.6%

Security, tested the way an attacker would

These systems hold real customer and company data, so I attack them before anyone else can, on safe copies.

Testing

How it’s tested

  • Static code scans across 12 business apps and storefronts.
  • Attack testing on disposable copies, never on live systems, with a containment check before every attack.
  • An AI red team: autonomous attacker agents trying to break in.

In place

What’s in place

  • 22+ fixes shipped and verified on the live systems.
  • Two-factor sign-in for all staff.
  • Every security fix checked by an independent AI auditor before it goes out.
  • No third-party pentest or certification yet. That comes next, and I won’t claim it until it’s done.

How the Circle works

Each week, I show something I am building or working through. You ask questions, bring a relevant problem, and see how I would approach it. When the session involves a build, you work on your own laptop at the same time.

One session

Three hours, live, every week

Between sessions you try things and bring back what worked, what failed and what you want to improve. You do not need to arrive as a programmer. You do need to participate personally. A default shape, not a rigid syllabus.

Circle and Private

Neither includes done-for-you development, unlimited debugging, emergency support, maintenance or security certification. You and your team keep ownership of implementation.

Fit and questions

For

Built for you if

  • You run an established company and want to build personally.
  • You have the time and budget to experiment responsibly.
  • You have the authority to act on what you learn.
  • You are willing to test, troubleshoot and try again; no programming background is required.
  • You have (or will get) an AI coding subscription, ideally US$100–200 a month.

Not for

Not for you if

  • You want someone to build everything for you.
  • You plan to send an employee instead of attending yourself.
  • You are looking for a managed IT service or an emergency support desk.
  • You expect guaranteed outcomes or a fixed learning speed.

Do I need to be technical?

No programming background is required. You must be willing to build personally, ask questions, test and troubleshoot.

Can my employee attend instead?

The seat belongs to the founder. Your team can support implementation, but cannot replace you in the Circle.

Will Dien build my company’s system for me?

No. The programs provide live examples, advice and guided work. Done-for-you development and maintenance are outside the scope.

Can I message Dien privately?

Circle membership does not include personal direct-message coaching. Private AI Partnership includes priority messaging with an agreed response target.

What do I need to take part?

Your own laptop and an AI coding subscription, ideally in the US$100–200 a month range. It’s paid by you, separately from the membership, and it’s what lets you build alongside me.

Do I have to stay in the program for good?

No. Each term is three months, and that can be enough to learn a lot and carry on by yourself. If you see how much you are growing and want to keep going, you can renew for another term.

What if I’ve already built more than you?

Show me before our second Circle meeting. In a short interview you walk me through what you had built before joining. If it goes beyond mine, I’ll refund your full first payment plus 10%.

Ten founders maximum

Applications open soon.

Admission will be by application, reviewed personally. Ten founders maximum.
