Sorting email and tickets with AI: when a small model beats GPT
How to design categories an AI can apply, when a small fine-tuned model beats a frontier model, how to route what it is unsure about, and what sorting a thousand emails costs.

Nikos Broikos. AI architect. Product owner. One-man army.
Production agentic AI, standing on twelve years of shipped systems. 5 products of my own.
Start a projectThe MBA came last, so the business case isn't a guess either.
WORK THAT RAN IN PUBLIC
Multiple activations and prize-draw quizzes. The campaigns marked † were produced by digitall, where I work as a Web Developer. The rest came to me directly or through agencies such as Develop Greece. The brands and campaigns belong to their owners.

These companies don't publish what a campaign earned.
TWELVE YEARS, TWO RAILS
If you find someone else in this market who can draw the second rail, let me know.
01. AGENTIC AI
A script does what it was told or it dies. An agent looks at what came back, decides, retries, escalates. I've been building these for production since early 2026. The difference is visible on the right: watch the task fail once, and keep going.
The agentic work02. PRODUCTS & PLATFORMS
Sites and e-shops are the visible layer: 30+ shipped and counting. The work that keeps clients is underneath: custom ERP, custom CRM, dashboards and automations that run the day-to-day, built to fit the business instead of the other way round.
03. STRATEGY & GROWTH
Brand, positioning, funnels, analytics, GDPR done properly. I've been the client five times. I know which builds are worth paying for, because I've paid for them.
The strategy workTHE NUMBER YOU CAN CHECK
The builds I still control score 96 to 100. The ones handed over years ago run someone else's plugins now. Both are the truth, so both are here. Every link opens Google's own test, pre-filled. Go on, run one.
* Projects now run by the client. A website is a living organism: every plugin, script and edit added after handover chips away at the score, and the keys are not in my hands.
This page spends its budget on the thing you just scrolled through. The scoreboard is what I ship when the budget goes to speed instead.

PRODUCT #6: IN BUILD
A system that watches ships and stops money leaking.
5 products shipped. This one is being built right now, which is why it looks unfinished here: it is. No mechanics, no stack, no launch date. If you want to know more, that's a call.

HOW IT WORKS
One call. What number should this move, and what's the cheapest system that moves it.
Brand to backend, one pair of hands. No account manager, no handover between four suppliers.
Most people ship and leave. The interesting part starts after launch, and I stay on the number.
You brief the person who builds it. There is nobody in between to misunderstand you.
