About JohnnyDev

Business Systems First. AI Second.

My background is in web development, system integration, CRM workflows, analytics, marketing technology and business automation.

That experience shapes how I approach AI. I do not begin by forcing a fashionable AI tool into your business. I begin by understanding the process, the systems involved and the outcome you are trying to achieve.

Where an established AI product can solve the problem reliably, I help you configure and integrate it. Where standard tools are not enough, I build a custom solution.

Use Cases

What Could AI Improve in Your Business?

Leads are not answered quickly enough

Automatically review new enquiries, ask qualifying questions, prepare responses, update your CRM and notify the appropriate team member.

Staff repeatedly copy information between systems

Extract, validate and transfer information between forms, emails, documents, spreadsheets and business platforms.

Important knowledge is difficult to find

Create an internal AI assistant that answers staff questions using approved business documents, policies and procedures.

Too much time is spent processing emails

Categorise incoming messages, identify urgent enquiries, prepare response drafts and route requests to the correct person.

Documents require repetitive manual review

Extract key information, identify missing details, compare documents and prepare structured summaries.

Reports take too long to prepare

Collect data from multiple sources and generate regular summaries, alerts and management insights.

FAQ

Common Questions

What types of businesses do you work with?

JohnnyDev primarily works with Melbourne small and medium-sized businesses that want to improve lead management, customer service, administration, document processing or internal workflows.

Do I need to know exactly what AI solution I need?

No. The first step can be reviewing your current process and identifying whether AI is suitable. In some cases, standard automation may be more reliable than an AI-based solution.

Do you build custom AI tools?

Yes. Custom AI agents and applications can be developed when existing products cannot meet the business requirement.

Can you connect AI with our existing CRM or website?

In many cases, yes. The available integration options depend on the platform, its API and your current setup.

Do we need to replace our existing software?

Usually not. The preferred approach is to improve and connect the systems you already use where practical.

Can staff approve an action before it happens?

Yes. Human approval can be included before emails are sent, records are changed or other important actions are completed.

Can you meet with us in Melbourne?

Yes. Face-to-face consultations and on-site workflow reviews are available across metropolitan Melbourne.

Do you provide ongoing support?

Ongoing monitoring, maintenance and system improvement can be included after the initial implementation.

Example System

From New Enquiry to Qualified Opportunity

  1. Step 01

    Customer submits an enquiry

    A lead arrives through your website, advertising campaign, email or another channel.

  2. Step 02

    AI reviews the information

    The system identifies the customer’s request, summarises the enquiry and determines what information is missing.

  3. Step 03

    The lead is qualified

    The AI asks relevant questions, applies your qualification criteria and identifies the appropriate next action.

  4. Step 04

    Your systems are updated

    The contact is created or updated in your CRM, assigned to the appropriate team member and recorded correctly.

  5. Step 05

    Staff remain in control

    The system can prepare a response, schedule an appointment or request human approval before taking further action.

The exact workflow is designed around your business rules, software and risk requirements.

Your Existing Systems

AI That Works With Your Current Technology

JohnnyDev can design AI workflows around platforms such as:

  • Websites and web applications
  • WordPress
  • Shopify
  • HubSpot and other CRM platforms
  • Gmail and Microsoft 365
  • Google Workspace
  • Forms and booking systems
  • Spreadsheets and databases
  • Advertising and lead-generation platforms
  • Internal documents and knowledge bases
  • APIs and custom business software

You should not need to replace every system your business already uses. The goal is to improve how your current technology works together.

How Projects Work

A Controlled Approach to AI Implementation

01

Review

We discuss your business, current workflow, software, problems and desired outcome.

02

Design

I map the proposed system, integrations, data access, approval points and expected actions.

03

Validate

Where appropriate, we begin with a small proof of concept before committing to a larger implementation.

04

Build

The workflow, integration or custom AI agent is developed and tested using realistic scenarios.

05

Deploy

The system is introduced carefully, with staff training, documentation and appropriate safeguards.

06

Improve

Performance is monitored and the system is refined as your requirements and available AI technology change.

Responsible Implementation

Automation Without Losing Control

AI systems should not operate without clear boundaries.

Depending on the workflow, JohnnyDev can include:

  • Human approval before messages or actions
  • Restricted access to business information
  • Approved knowledge sources
  • Escalation when the AI is uncertain
  • Activity and decision logs
  • Defined business rules
  • Testing against realistic scenarios
  • Usage and cost controls
  • Ongoing monitoring

The appropriate level of automation depends on the task, the data involved and the consequences of an incorrect action.
