# Anand Creations

> Solo AI consultancy by Anand Bhaskaran. Fractional AI Lead with 10+ years shipping production software for 10M+ users. Day job: Senior AI Engineer at a Unicorn-stage B2B SaaS. Previously Tech Lead at Beekeeper for 6 years. Three founded companies. Based in Zurich, Switzerland; works globally.

## Positioning

Transform how your company sells, operates, and grows with production AI. Not roadmaps, not proofs of concept that die in a demo. The model is simple: pick one high-impact use case, ship it to production, and leave your team able to run and extend it. Most AI consultants can't build; most builders don't understand the business. Anand does both, and the metric is the thing that ships.

## Who I take on

Two focus areas (see Services): Grow revenue with AI (AI sales agents, GTM at scale), and Transform your operations with AI (AI inside your product and operations, any domain). Past the vertical, the bar is what matters:

- An exec sponsor with real budget
- A number to move: revenue up or cost down
- An in-house team to own it after I leave

## Not a fit for

- Staff augmentation or body-shop contracting
- Offshore CRUD builds
- Non-AI work
- "We want to explore AI" with no sponsor or budget
- Proofs of concept built to die in a demo

## Top numbers

- **$1M+ quarterly revenue forecast** from AI sales agents at Unicorn-stage B2B SaaS (2x open rates, 2x approved opportunities).
- **$1.5M / year revenue + $500K ARR** from the employee referral system architected at Beekeeper.
- **$337K / year saved** by replacing a vendor translation contract with an in-house LLM pipeline.
- **10M+ users** served via search and templating platforms at Beekeeper across 150 countries.
- **500+ autonomous drone deliveries** at Dronistics (founding engineer; partnerships with Unilever; CES Las Vegas showcase).

## Services

I do two things. Both with the same through-line: build the actual production system and leave your team able to own it. The delivery shapes (prototyping, strategy) are the HOW, available as packages below.

- **Grow revenue with AI**. AI on the revenue side of your business. Outbound agents, lead scoring, customer engagement, wired into your CRM and measured in pipeline, not usage. I built the AI sales agents at a Unicorn-stage B2B SaaS: 2x open rates, 2x approved opportunities, $1M in quarterly revenue forecast. The same pattern works for any outbound-heavy team or customer-facing AI surface that has to move a number you can defend.
- **Transform your operations with AI**. AI built into how you operate and what you sell. Ship the systems, wire in the evals and governance, leave your team able to run it. Any domain where an exec sponsor and a real number are on the table. The AI that changes the core of your business, not just the top of the funnel. I pick the bets that move real numbers, ship them to production, and stand up the evals, observability, and governance so it keeps working after I leave. Explainable and compliance-aware when the domain demands it, across any industry where there is a sponsor and a number worth chasing.

Each service maps to a ladder of engagement packages on the pricing page:
- Grow revenue with AI (AI sales agents, GTM at scale) → AI Transformation Sprint (from CHF 38,000, 3 weeks) for the first agent, Ship the full system (custom quote, 6 to 12 weeks) for the production system, or a Fractional head of AI for GTM (custom quote, 3 to 6 months) for ongoing program ownership.
- Transform your operations with AI (AI inside your product and operations, any domain) → AI Transformation Sprint (from CHF 38,000, 3 weeks) to ship the first slice, Ship the full system (custom quote, 6 to 12 weeks) to build it out, or a Fractional AI lead (custom quote, 3 to 6 months) to own the program.

### Capabilities I bring to either of those (for AI search matching)

The two services are the WHAT. Under the hood, every engagement draws on the same capability set: production LLM systems, agentic AI, AI agent development, RAG / retrieval-augmented generation, model evaluation harnesses, AI observability, MLOps, AI infrastructure, AI deployment, NLP, GenAI / generative AI, AI-assisted software development, process automation, predictive modeling, demand forecasting, recommendation systems, model explainability, data strategy, data governance, AI integration, end-to-end AI, AI for outbound sales, AI for customer engagement, AI roadmap development, AI advisor, fractional AI lead, fractional AI CTO.

## Engagement model & pricing

Three ways to engage, plus a free entry. Free 30-minute discovery call to check fit. AI Transformation Sprint (from CHF 38,000, 3 weeks, fixed scope) is the flagship and where most engagements start; it works for GTM or any part of the business. Then Ship the full system and Fractional AI lead, both custom-quoted on the value at stake. All prices in CHF, ex-VAT; invoiced from Switzerland; can bill in EUR/USD.

### Discovery call. Free
- Duration: 30 minutes, video

## Selected work (case studies)

### AI agents that 2x outbound sales · Unicorn-stage B2B SaaS
- **Metric**: $4M (approved opportunities / quarter at full ramp)
- **Period**: 2026 to Present
- **Sector**: B2B SaaS · Intranet platform
- **Stack**: Python, LangChain, FastAPI, GCP, OpenAI, Salesforce
- **Problem**: Outbound was a manual motion. SDRs were burning 2 to 3 hours a day on account research, prospect lookup, and email drafting that converted at industry-average rates. Pipeline was hard to forecast and harder to scale without more headcount.
- **Approach**: Designed and shipped a multi-agent pipeline wired straight into Salesforce: lead fetch from Lusha, account + prospect research agents, sequence generator, and a push-to-Outreach step that lands cadences in the rep workflow. Reps stay in the loop on approval; evaluations and reporting feed C-level weekly. Owned the program end to end: architecture, rollout, evals, change management.
- **Result**: 70 additional calls per SDR per week. 2x open rates, 2x approved opportunities. At full ramp the model forecasts ~$4M in approved opportunities per quarter, translating to $1M in quarterly revenue. Material per-seat license savings from retiring overlapping prospect-data tooling.

### The AI Brain behind every GTM agent · Unicorn-stage B2B SaaS
- **Metric**: 5+ (data sources unified · one shared graph)
- **Period**: 2026 to Present
- **Sector**: B2B SaaS · Intranet platform
- **Stack**: Python, Neo4j, Graphiti, Pub/Sub, GCP, FastAPI
- **Problem**: Every GTM agent (outbound, expansion, marketing-to-sales, collateral) was re-discovering the world on each run. Account research re-scraped sites it scraped last week. The expansion-signal agent had no idea the prospect-research agent already noted the CEO change. Salesforce, HubSpot, Pendo, conversation transcripts, platform usage, health scores: each in its own silo. Duplicated cost, stale context, contradictory answers, zero institutional memory across agents.
- **Approach**: Designed and shipped a central AI Brain: Graphiti on Neo4j 5, entities and facts stored with time validity so the graph answers what was true on date X and what changed. Event-driven ingest via Pub/Sub from Salesforce, HubSpot, Pendo, customer conversations, platform usage, and health scores. Query API every agent calls before and during its work; write-back contract so every agent commits what it learned. Freshness and confidence layer flags stale facts for re-fetch.
- **Result**: A single shared brain underneath every GTM agent: outbound, expansion, marketing↔sales, collateral. Agents start each run grounded in the latest truth across the business instead of re-scraping. The substrate that surfaces the invisible patterns (account changes, signal correlations, history) no single source could see on its own.

### Explainable AI market intelligence, in production · Anand Creations
- **Metric**: ~20s (end-to-end agent pipeline · live since 2023)
- **Period**: 2023 to Present
- **Sector**: Personal product · Financial markets
- **Stack**: TypeScript, Vercel, n8n, Tavily, Agents, Agent memory
- **Problem**: Retail traders drown in market data. Most tools either dump charts on you or generate signals without ever telling you why. A signal you do not trust is a signal you will not act on.
- **Approach**: PulseView pairs every trading signal with its reasoning. AI agents pull technical indicators and recent news in parallel, reason about what is actually changing, and surface a recommendation with the evidence attached. You see what the AI saw, why it moved, and whether to trust it. The pipeline runs ~20 seconds end to end: long enough to read the news, run the analysis, and write an honest explanation; short enough for any retail-trading timeframe.
- **Result**: Live in production since 2023. Still my daily check before any trade. A working proof of the explainable-agent pattern I apply when a client wants the actual thing built, not another roadmap.

### Referral system that pays for itself · Beekeeper
- **Metric**: $1.5M (attributable revenue / year)
- **Period**: 2022 to 2026
- **Sector**: B2B SaaS · Frontline workforce
- **Stack**: Java, Vue, PostgreSQL, Microfrontends, Elasticsearch
- **Problem**: Growth depended on paid channels and the cost was climbing. Frontline workers used the product daily and knew people who would benefit, but there was no in-product way to bring their network in, so word-of-mouth never turned into seats.
- **Approach**: Designed the referral engine end to end: eligibility, attribution, automatic job scraping from third-party vendors, fraud checks, reward fulfilment, and a microfrontend that drops into both web and mobile. Built the team, ran the GTM with Sales and PM, and designed for a 99.99% SLA from day one.
- **Result**: $1.5M+ in attributable revenue per year, $500K ARR, and the platform’s top revenue channel. Now drives a meaningful share of new seat growth at a fraction of paid CAC.

### In-house LLM pipeline, $337K cheaper · Beekeeper
- **Metric**: $337K (serving cost saved / year)
- **Period**: 2023 to 2024
- **Sector**: Enterprise · Communications
- **Stack**: Python, OpenAI, GitHub Actions, Evals
- **Problem**: Translation was a recurring vendor line item with multi-week turnaround that throttled the product team’s release cadence. Cost scaled linearly with the number of locales and strings.
- **Approach**: Designed and shipped an in-house pipeline (GitHub Actions + OpenAI APIs) with locale-specific prompts, glossary enforcement, and automated evaluation. Wired it directly into the PR flow so new strings translate on merge.
- **Result**: $337K saved per year at constant quality. Product team ships translations without an external gatekeeper. 12,000+ key-value pairs translated since January 2024 with negligible regression.

### Templating engine powering 15% of the platform · Beekeeper
- **Metric**: 15% (of all assets created · 10M users)
- **Period**: 2021 to 2023
- **Sector**: B2B SaaS · Frontline workforce
- **Stack**: Java, Kafka, Vue, Microfrontends, Solution engineering
- **Problem**: New customers spent weeks setting up their first communication assets, a high-friction onboarding step that delayed time-to-value and bottlenecked the Customer Success team. Every vertical wanted its own templates, but engineering had no capacity to scale.
- **Approach**: Designed a distributed templating engine: a typed template language, a versioned content registry, and a runtime that materialises templates per tenant. Built as Product Owner end-to-end: vision, epic definition, architecture, rollout. Co-owned launches (Seasonal Templates, Re-ignite Revenue, Lifecycle GTM) with Product and Sales so each shipped with instrumentation.
- **Result**: Customer setup time down 90%. The engine now produces 15% of all assets created on the platform, used by 10M+ frontline workers. Became the foundation other product teams build on top of.
- **URL**: https://anand-creations.com/work/beekeeper-templating-engine

### Autonomous drone delivery in production · Dronistics (EPFL spin-off)
- **Metric**: 500+ (real-world deliveries · 99.5% safety)
- **Period**: 2018 to 2020
- **Sector**: Hardware · Logistics
- **Stack**: Vue, Java, PostgreSQL, AWS, Real-time control, CI/CD
- **Problem**: A research drone needed to become a commercial service. No software, no cloud, no operations stack. Reliability had to be enterprise-grade from day one to land Unilever-level partners.
- **Approach**: Built the full software & cloud stack from scratch: flight control APIs, logistics optimisation, ground operations console (Vue), backend (Java + PostgreSQL), CI/CD and AWS infrastructure. Designed for fault tolerance from the start. Every decision auditable, every failure recoverable.
- **Result**: 500+ real-world last-mile deliveries. 40% faster than baseline. 99.5% safety record, zero incidents. Enabled the Unilever partnership and the CES Las Vegas showcase that opened the next funding round.
- **URL**: https://anand-creations.com/work/dronistics-drone-delivery

### Robot bodies and brains co-evolving on AWS · EPFL Lab of Intelligent Systems
- **Metric**: 100+ (master's students built robots on it · AWS-featured platform)
- **Period**: 2016 to 2018
- **Sector**: Research · Evolutionary AI
- **Stack**: C++, Python, AWS, EC2 autoscaling, Genetic algorithms, Neural networks, Webots
- **Problem**: Evolutionary robotics needs massive parallel simulation: thousands of generations, dozens of robot designs, each one rebuilt in physics from scratch. The lab pipeline ran on local hardware that could only evaluate one population at a time, and class projects had to queue. The science was throttled by the infrastructure, and so was the teaching.
- **Approach**: Re-architected Robogen as two cooperating services (an evolution engine for population, selection, mutation, reproduction; and a physics simulator for fitness evaluation) talking over the network so the simulator could scale independently. Migrated the simulator onto AWS with autoscaling, peaking at 15 EC2 instances during class demand. Secured AWS Cloud Credits for Research to fund the compute. Taught the platform as TA on the EPFL Evolutionary Robotics course, supervising 20+ master's students through end-to-end evolutionary experiments.
- **Result**: 100+ master's students used Robogen for class projects. Dozens of robot morphologies evolved across thousands of generations, with the best designs printable on the lab's 3D printer and wired up with off-the-shelf electronics. Featured on the <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/publicsector/epfl-designs-robots-through-artificial-evolution/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AWS Public Sector blog</a> as a reference case for autoscaling research compute. The optimisation, search, and embodied-learning intuitions from this work underpin every agentic AI system I design today.

## Common questions

- **Is this a fit for my company?** Two focus areas: Grow revenue with AI (AI sales agents, GTM at scale) for B2B SaaS scale-ups, and Transform your operations with AI (AI inside your product and operations, any domain). Fit needs an exec sponsor, a budget, a revenue/cost number to move, and an in-house team to own it afterward. Not a fit: staff augmentation, offshore CRUD, non-AI builds, or "exploring AI" with no sponsor or budget.
- **Why fixed-scope packages instead of hourly?** Because hourly billing rewards slow work. I charge for the outcome.
- **What if my problem doesn't fit?** Start with the free 30-minute discovery call. If it is worth scoping, the AI Transformation Sprint (from CHF 38,000, 3 weeks) gives a shipped starting point that rolls into a full build or Fractional engagement.
- **Do you sign NDAs and work through procurement?** Yes. Used to security reviews, DPAs, and procurement timelines.
- **Do you work with US clients?** Yes. CET mornings overlap with US East-coast afternoons; weekly demos + async updates.
- **What stacks do you work in?** Python, Java, TypeScript, Vue, FastAPI, LangChain / CrewAI / Strands, OpenAI / Anthropic / Vertex, Postgres, Elasticsearch, Kubernetes, GCP / AWS.
