AI advice you can actually use on Monday.
I’m Michael Miraftab, and I spend my weeks advising enterprises on AI and my weekends testing it at home. This site is where I translate all of that into plain English for business owners, operators, and the AI-curious in South Florida and beyond.

What you will find here
Everything on this site comes from things I have actually built, tested, or watched succeed and fail up close. No recycled headlines, no press release rewrites.
AI for Business
What is worth paying for, what to skip, and how to fix one workflow at a time.
Home Lab Experiments
Local models in my lab, so you see what it really takes before spending a dime.
Enterprise, Translated
What the biggest tech buyers are doing with AI, explained for a twenty person shop.
The one rule around here
If I would not recommend it to a friend over cafecito, it does not go on the site.
Topics I keep coming back to
Pick a lane or read it all. Every topic below links to a growing archive of posts, and each one exists for the same reason: somebody asked me a question I thought deserved a better answer than the internet was giving them.
Straight talk on AI spending
Most companies collect subscriptions instead of results. I write about how to pick the one workflow worth fixing first, and how to know if a tool earned its keep.
Building with AI
Agents, automations, and tools I build myself, including the parts that broke.
The South Florida angle
How AI is landing in Miami, from local businesses to the money moving in.
Hardware and home labs
GPUs, local models, and what consumer gear can honestly handle.
Reality checks
When something is overhyped I say so. When it is real I show you why.
Hey, I'm Mike
Close to a decade helping companies figure out which technology deserves their money, most recently deep in the AI and GPU world. By day I advise some of the largest tech buyers in the country. Here, I write for everyone else.
