I built this for myself. It turned out my team needed it too.

I'm a CTO. My day is conversations — with engineers, customers, partners, investors. My nights, for years, have been testing AI tools to make those conversations sharper.

I've used a lot of products. I've built a lot of things on top of them. None of them worked the way an operator actually works. So I built my own.

About the name. AI models can never quite pronounce "Pate" — they land on "Patay" instead. It started as a running joke. Then it became the name of the thing. There's something honest about it: this is a product that meets AI where it is, instead of pretending the seams don't exist.

Patay is opinionated on purpose. It is for the people who already know what an extra hour of focused attention is worth. Operators. Founders. The handful of people on any team who turn conversations into outcomes.

I productized it because the people on my team started asking for access. If you're the kind of person this is for, you'll know within a week.
