I’m Jacob — I build AI
that runs real operations.

Not demos, not slideware. Working systems for complex product companies — and I build them in public so you can see exactly how.

Jacob Skogström — AI agent operator, Malmö
01 The short version

An AI agent operator, not an AI tourist

Most “AI for business” stops at a chatbot demo. I come from the product side — a Product Owner who ships — so I build AI into the messy parts that actually move a company: operations, internal tooling, decision support, the work nobody wants to do twice. Everything on this site I designed and built myself with Claude Code, in the open.

My niche is deliberately narrow: AI for complex product companies — manufacturing, hardware, deep-tech — not the generic “AI for startups” crowd. That's where the hard, valuable problems are, and it's the world I already speak the language of.

02 What I've actually built

Six systems, all running

Each one started as a real problem and became a working tool. The episodes break down how — with the prompts.

An operator brain

A Claude-Code “operating system” that onboards, audits, and reviews its own projects — even runs a nightly architect review.

A monitoring dashboard

Built in a night: live stats, a job pipeline, a Kanban whose cards write their own code, staging→prod with one button.

Personal AI silos

A private, per-person AI assistant over Telegram — multi-tenant, isolated context, real deliverables (a workout plan as a PDF).

A content engine

This brand: a dual-channel video pipeline that transcribes, captions, and cross-posts itself across platforms.

Pocket Operator

The packaged product: your first AI employee, invite-only. Lives in Telegram, ships real deliverables, exports your data on request — nothing locked in.

Cortex

The memory inside the operator. Five questions once, then it stops re-asking who you are — plain text files it re-reads every reply, not a black box.

03 Work with us

Two ways we can work together

Hire me · primary

A Product Owner / AI role

I'm open to a permanent role where AI and product leadership meet — ideally in the Malmö–Lund region.

  • PO who actually ships, plus hands-on AI build skill
  • Fluent across product, ops, and the engineering reality
  • Comfortable in complex product / hardware domains
Let's talk about a role →
Consulting

Build an AI system with you

Short, scoped engagements: find the one operation worth automating, then build the system that does it.

  • An AI audit of where it would actually pay off
  • A working pilot, not a 60-slide strategy deck
  • Knowledge transfer so your team can run it
