About Claw Prime
We built AI tools to run our own business. Now we sell those tools to yours.
How We Got Here
Vince and Chad spent 25+ years in restaurants — every station, every shift, every crisis. They know what it's like to be in the weeds on a slammed Friday night when the printer won't stop and the dishwasher just called out.
When they started Claw Prime, the first problem they solved was their own. They built AI agents to handle the admin work that eats small businesses alive — scheduling, vendor management, content creation, client follow-up, financial reporting.
Those tools worked so well that other businesses started asking for them. That's when Claw Prime stopped being a restaurant company and became an AI automation company. We still deploy to restaurants — but we also deploy to any business drowning in operational busywork.
We don't sell theory. We sell tools we use every day.
Production-proven automation with clear decision boundaries
We build, deploy, and sell AI automation tools. Every pipeline, skill, and workflow we create runs our own business first — then it becomes a product you can buy.
AI Agent Pipelines
Agent pipelines coordinate recurring research, content, outreach, and reporting, with checks and human judgment at defined boundaries.
Automation Skills & Workflows
Pre-built, battle-tested workflows packaged as deployable skills. Every one runs our own business before it becomes a product.
Cron-Based Operations
Scheduled tasks handle recurring briefings, reports, and tracking. Operators maintain the configuration and review consequential results.
Build it. Use it. Then sell it.
Build it ourselves first
Every tool starts as an internal need. We don't guess what businesses want — we build what we need to run our own company, then see if it solves real problems.
Genericize and package
Once a tool proves itself, we strip the domain-specific parts and make it configurable. A scheduling agent built for a restaurant becomes a scheduling agent for any business.
Sell what works
If a tool proves useful in our business, we package its bounded job for other operators. We put tested tools on Claw Prime Marketplace with documentation, support, and setup requirements.
The Founders
Two guys with 25+ years in restaurants who taught themselves to build AI. Now they run a company on the tools they made.
Vince
“Chef” — Co-founder
25+ years in restaurants, now the technical architect behind Claw Prime's AI systems. Vince designs the agent pipelines, automation workflows, and data layers that run our business.
His restaurant background means he builds tools for real operational pressure — not theoretical use cases. Every system is designed to survive a Friday night rush.
Chad
“Smokey” — Co-founder
25+ years in restaurants, now Claw Prime's deployment and operations lead. Chad is the one who makes sure AI tools actually work in the real world — not just in demos.
He handles client onboarding, tool deployment, and hands-on support. If something breaks at 6 AM, Chad's already on it.
Meet Echo
AI Chief Executive Officer
Echo isn't a chatbot. It's an AI agent that coordinates recurring research, content creation, client support, and development work within defined operating rules.
While Vince and Chad focus on product and deployment, Echo handles recurring work across Claw Prime. It writes, researches, supports client response, and coordinates projects while people retain judgment over consequential decisions.
Think of Echo as an operating partner for repeatable work. It's the same kind of AI we build for businesses: one that completes bounded tasks and brings people in when judgment matters.
