For friends and family, a year in the making
It's finally this ******* week.
For months you've all heard me say "going live next week". Well, this time we actually are.
A walkthrough of the app, at the bottom of this page.
Press play with the sound on. It's 95 seconds, and I made it with gnr8.
G'day, it's Rick
For about a year now I have been quietly building something. A lot of you have asked what I have been up to, so here it is.
It started in January 2025 with the early groundwork. gnr8 itself has taken shape since May this year. In that time I have put in more than 2,500 hours. The code on gnr8 alone has been updated over 4,500 times. There has been endless testing, and plenty of ideas I got excited about and then threw out.
I built it for small business owners who can not afford a marketing team or an agency. You know the type. They are great at what they do, and the posting, the videos and the follow-ups never quite get done.
So gnr8 is an entire marketing team in your pocket.
- Harper, your marketing manager, writes your posts and runs your campaigns in your own brand voice.
- Cinematic video ads from one prompt, starring you or your products. The film above was made exactly this way, with a clone of me and the team.
- New leads found for your kind of customer.
- Your website watched around the clock, with a plain list of what to fix.
gnr8 is built by Automation Expert, part of TEAMSolutions Group. Thanks for watching, and thanks for being in my corner while I built it.

More examples of what gnr8 can create
Tap any of them to watch.
A flood, a chopper and a very capable pilot, from one prompt.
A mum juggling the school run, football and a work meeting in one kitchen.
Ads that do not vanish: a yeti, a grandmother in a robot and the team behind it.
More examples of what gnr8 can do
Real recorded calls
Two live calls: Jess answers. Rob calls out (coming soon).
Jess and Rob are AI assistants built in gnr8, talking with our founder Rick.
- The faces are their gnr8 AI avatars.
- You pick each assistant's name, voice and accent.
- Their answers are tailored to your business and what you offer.
What they do for you
- Jess answers every call, day or night, then texts you the job details. Urgent ones come straight through to you.
- Coming soonGive Rob a list and he works through it: 10 happy-customer check-ins this week, 5 warranty follow-ups. Each person's result comes back to you.
- Coming soonRun several assistants from one number, each on its own schedule: quote follow-ups on Monday, review requests on Friday.
Nothing has been re-recorded. We only trimmed each call for length.

Make your first one
gnr8 learns your brand from your website, then you pick what to make.
Who is it for?
Pretty much anyone running a business. The hairdresser who never gets to Instagram. The concreter, the plumber, the osteopath, the paediatrician. The manufacturer and the wholesaler too. If you have customers and you want more of them, there is something in it for you.
And if you work for someone else, you are not left out. If you use LinkedIn, gnr8 can help you show up properly. Or if you just want to make a cool, easy, funny video now and then, like the one above, a party invite or a birthday message, it can do that too.

A favour, if you can
Most of you know I don't really ask for help. This time I am. I have put my life into this, and I'm all in.
If you like and share our socials, it helps more than you know. We live in interest media now, not social media. The more people see and like something, the more people it gets shown to. Every like, follow and share tells the platforms to show us to a few more people, and it saves us real money on advertising.
And if you have a need for it, or you know someone who does, sign up. Even if it isn't for you, a follow and a share takes ten seconds and I'll owe you a beer.
For my technical friends
If you're thinking "it's probably a Mickey Mouse app", fair enough, I'd wonder too. So here are the receipts.
Plus more than 2,500 hours of my own time.
We also built rules to keep ourselves honest. A feature only counts as done once we've checked its real output in the real product, not just that the code compiles. Anything that touches the database gets checked against the real schema first. Every change to the screens has to pass a written checklist, and a browser test runs through the create wizards before anything goes live.
It won't be perfect. It's new. Tell me what breaks and I'll fix it.
