One person · AI as the workforce · Real software in production Tandy Services

We build real, working software
with artificial intelligence.

What Tandy Services is

A one-person shop with an AI workforce.

I'm a long-haul truck driver. I run Tandy Services from the road, in the hours between loads, using AI the way a small company uses a whole team of developers — for research, design, building, testing, and the boring maintenance nobody wants to do.

The difference from most "AI websites" is simple: everything here is real and in production. These aren't demos. They're businesses people log into every day to run their work — take leads, send invoices, manage a menu, book a tattoo.

And the people who use them own them outright. All the files, the data, the keys. No monthly platform fee, no vendor holding the site hostage. Build it once, hand over the keys.

How it works
1

We talk through the business

What it does, how it makes money, what's eating your time. No tech jargon required.

2

AI builds it, I direct it

Real code, written and tested fast — under human judgment, not left to autopilot.

3

It goes live, you own it

Public site, admin panel, the works — handed over with the keys and a plain-English guide.

The Work

Four live platforms, built end-to-end.

Two were built for clients. Two we own and run ourselves. All four are real, in production, and built with AI.

Dan's Welding & Fabrication

dansweldingfabrication.com →
What it is
A lead-generating website and a complete business operating system for a mobile welder in Clearwater, Florida.
How it works
The public site brings in quote requests; behind it, Dan runs his entire business from his phone — leads become estimates, estimates become scheduled jobs, jobs become invoices and payments. Plus CRM, job-site photos, a price book, mileage, inventory, even his email inbox.
Why it's here
One of John's own customers — a welder who didn't want to pay a developer a fortune. We made a deal; he owns it outright and runs his whole operation from his phone.
  • SEO site with quote form, services & service areas
  • Lead → estimate → job → invoice → payment chain
  • Calendar, CRM, photos, inventory & mileage
  • Built-in email client & payment links
  • Plain-English guide written for a welder, not a coder

John B's Barbecue

johnbsbarbecue.com →
What it is
A full restaurant platform — public site out front, a complete back-office behind it — built as a favor for a pitmaster.
How it works
Menu management, catering inbox, reviews, a newsletter, a loyalty list, a register with payment links, inventory and a time clock — plus an AI assistant ("BBQ Brain") that drafts posts and answers questions from the restaurant's own data.
Why it's here
The build that started it all — John saw me working on Nation.Tattoo and asked for help, so I went all in. One of his own customers saw the result and became the next project.
  • Menu, specials & sold-out flags
  • Catering requests, reviews & newsletter blasts
  • Register, sales, expenses, inventory & time clock
  • In-panel email client with per-employee inboxes
  • AI writer trained on the restaurant's own info
★ Owned & operated by Tandy Services · Live

Nation.Tattoo

nation.tattoo →
What it is
A national platform for tattoo & piercing artists and studios — and the one product on this page that Tandy Services owns and runs itself.
How it works
Artists and studios build rich profiles with portfolios, flash drops, booking and reviews; fans discover them, read the news feed, and use member AI tools. Studios subscribe by tier and get real business tools — inventory, P&L, mileage, SMS — on top.
Why it's here
It's the flagship. Everything learned building for clients lands here first — and it's the home of Tandy Services AI, our own self-hosted brain.
  • Artist & studio profiles, portfolios & flash drops
  • Conventions, an auto-updating news engine & SMS
  • Studio business tools — inventory, P&L, mileage
  • "Ink AI" assistant powered by Tandy Services AI
  • Tier-based subscriptions — a real SaaS product

Boat Transport Ops

boattransportops.com →
What it is
A complete operations platform for the oversize boat-hauling industry — and a SaaS any transport company can subscribe to and run their whole business on.
How it works
Dispatch and trip sheets, driver payroll, quote → bill of lading → invoice, fleet & maintenance, safety inspections, and real oversize truck routing with bridge-clearance safety — all scoped per company, with Stripe-billed signup.
Why it's here
I've hauled boats since 2000 and built this from the cab over 20+ years because the trade still runs on paper. Now rebuilt by Tandy Services with Tandy Services AI baked in and extreme SEO — the two things the old tool couldn't do.
  • Dispatch, trip sheets, fuel & driver payroll
  • Quote → BOL → invoice with rate tables
  • Fleet, maintenance & document-expiry reminders
  • Oversize routing with bridge-clearance checks
  • Multi-company SaaS, billed through Stripe
The hard part we didn't outsource

We didn't just build with AI.
We built an AI.

Most "AI features" are rented — a monthly fee per user, and your customers' data sitting on someone else's servers. So Tandy Services built its own: a private AI system running on our own hardware, from the ground up.

It's a fleet of around two dozen specialized services working together — a knowledge brain that searches real information before it answers, smart routing that sends each question to the right model, image generation, vision, and a watchdog that keeps the whole thing alive.

Today it powers Nation.Tattoo's "Ink AI" in production — and it's only getting started.

Read the full story

A knowledge brain

Searches a curated knowledge base before answering — grounded in real facts, not guesses.

Smart model routing

Light models for quick work, a heavyweight 70B model for the hard stuff — automatically.

Vision & image generation

Creates artwork and reads images — used for news visuals and placement previews.

Self-hosted & self-healing

Runs on our own server with a watchdog that restarts anything that falls over.
