Ops first. Then AI.

I'm Niel Steyn. I spent 19 years making businesses run before I started making AI run them, so I build for how your business actually works, not for the demo.

somethingAI is my practice. I find the work that eats your team's week, build AI into the back-end to do it, and teach your people to trust it.

Before AI, I spent 19 years in business operations: running teams, processes, finance and the systems behind them. That's why the things I build start from the work, not from the technology. Since then I've put more than 3,000 hours into building with AI and AI automation, for clients and for my own products, ExamGen and Wenk.

I work from Pretoria with businesses across Gauteng and South Africa, and remotely with clients anywhere, in English or Afrikaans.
