What I build
I'm a generalist operator betting on the future of work: systems that run themselves 24/7 while you handle strategy. Six live properties prove the model (AIPriceRadar, EuroPriceDrop, TipidNation, Chocobot, WebGeek, and BudgetDecoded) cutting manual work by ~80% and shipping content across markets most agencies won't touch. Like training, the gains come from compounding: small systems, stacked, that keep paying off long after they're built.
Most "AI services" are a chatbot wearing a strategy deck.
You've probably already had the pitch, an agency sells you "AI-powered marketing," and what you get is a prompt template and a Zapier zap. It works for a week, then someone forgets to update it and nobody notices for a month.
That's not a system. That's a demo that shipped.
The actual bottleneck isn't a missing tool. It's that nobody designed the workflow around the agent from day one, so the agent stays bolted on, fragile, and eventually gets quietly abandoned.
I build what I'd be willing to run on my own sites, because I already am.
Every service below is something I run in production, not something I read about and now sell. AIPriceRadar's affiliate matching, EuroPriceDrop's localization pipeline, TipidNation's content engine, same architecture, different market.
Before I propose anything, I want to know:
- What's repeatable enough to hand to an agent, and what still needs a person's judgment
- Where the current process is losing time, accuracy, or money
- What the human review gate looks like, because nothing ships unreviewed, on my sites or yours
Services designed around systems that outlive the engagement
AI Workflow Automation
Autonomous agents that run growth workflows, revenue ops, and customer processes, without someone babysitting them. I wire them up and keep a human gate before anything ships.
Agent Architecture · AI AutomationAI-Native Growth Systems
Growth built around agents from day one, multi-market campaigns, content automation, and continuous optimization that keeps working between check-ins.
Growth Strategy · Content AutomationRevenue Automation
AI across revenue operations, from acquisition to expansion, the unglamorous backbone that makes growth repeatable instead of lucky.
Revenue Ops · AI AutomationContent & Localization
Content pipelines and multi-region localization that don't read like machine translation. I've shipped this across 80+ markets and know exactly where it breaks.
Content Automation · LocalizationLifecycle & CRM
Customer lifecycle and CRM automation that stays personal at scale, built on the same segmentation work I ran for millions of users at Celsius.
CRM Automation · LifecycleAI Consulting & Implementation
Hands-on help designing and shipping AI-native systems, not a strategy doc you file away, but working infrastructure you keep.
AI Consulting · ImplementationBuilt for your stage
Startup, enterprise, or agency, the build changes with the scale, but the principle doesn't: growth loops and flywheels that compound, not one-off campaigns that fizzle.

The stack behind the work
AI agents and LLMs, automation, content engineering, CRM, paid media, and the affiliate stack, gathered across crypto, fintech, and startups, and proven on my own sites. The tools are commodities; the judgment of how to wire them together isn't.

AI Consulting & Growth Automation Services, Philippines-Based, Remote Worldwide
John Arce provides AI consulting, workflow automation, and MarTech architecture for startups scaling into new markets, teams automating revenue operations, and agencies building white-label AI practices. Based in the Philippines, working remotely with teams worldwide.
What's included in an AI consulting engagement?
Engagements range from a single agentic build (one workflow, one agent, shipped and running) to ongoing MarTech architecture covering content automation, localization, CRM, and lifecycle systems. Every engagement includes a human review gate; nothing ships unreviewed.
How is this different from a marketing agency?
A marketing agency delivers campaigns. This delivers infrastructure, agents and pipelines that keep running after the engagement ends, the same way TipidNation, EuroPriceDrop, and AIPriceRadar run without daily manual input.
