Less manual work for your operations team, through automation and AI that fits how you already work.
I help operations leaders eliminate manual work by integrating automation into the tools you already use. And I'll tell you honestly when AI isn't the answer.

How I work
Start with the problem, not the tool
I begin every engagement by mapping how work actually flows. Sometimes the answer is AI. Sometimes it's a better process. I'll tell you which.
Integrate, don't replace
Your team already uses tools that work. I research adjacent solutions and build custom where needed, so automation lives inside your existing stack, not alongside it.
Honest about ROI
If automating a workflow won't pay back the effort, I'll say so. The goal is real impact, not impressive demos.
About
I'm Riley Durrer. I help small-to-mid companies eliminate manual work using automation and AI, and I'm not interested in selling you things you don't need.
There are a lot of people overselling AI right now. I started this practice to do the opposite: tell you honestly where AI fits and where it doesn't, work inside the tools you already use, and aim for real operational gain instead of an impressive demo.
More about me →How we can work together
Selected work
OV Legacy Heirship Tool
→A tool that figures out who owns what in inherited mineral rights, automatically. It traces ownership through generations of family records, shows the result as a clear visual map, and exports tidy reports. Work that used to take hours of careful hand calculation now runs in minutes, with fewer mistakes.
Ranger Discovery
→Finding out who owns Texas mineral rights means digging through decades of paper deeds scattered across county offices. Ranger reads those documents automatically and turns them into organized, searchable ownership data, replacing hours of manual review with a process that runs overnight. It uses AI to read documents the way a person would, and double-checks its own work so the results can be trusted.
Document Collection Pipeline
→Automatically gathers the source documents behind mineral-rights research: collecting records from county websites, pulling data out of PDFs, and cleaning public datasets into a usable form, the automated 'data gathering' step that feeds Ranger.
