Alex Carmichael
Operator. Founder. Writer.
I’m VP of Operations at a specialty sealants manufacturer, founder of FairwayIntel (real-time golf course conditions for everyday players), and a writer on agentic AI inside operating businesses. Based in Grand Haven, MI.
The thread across all of it: I build personal AI infrastructure for myself — agents that actually run my work, not chatbots I talk to — and write honestly about what holds up in production and what doesn’t. No futurism, no breathless takes. Just what an operator running real systems learns shipping them.

Open door
I’m strictly editorial here — nothing on this site is for sale. But if you’re building something interesting at the intersection of agents and operating businesses, want to compare notes, are looking for advisor or consulting time, or just want to grab coffee in Grand Haven, the door’s open.
