The story

Operators who ship, not slideware.

Alex Cinovoj is Founder & CTO of TechTide AI, a Columbus, Ohio AI-automation agency, and co-host of the Automation Vibes podcast. He brings 13 years in US enterprise IT across support, systems, cloud, architecture, and engineering, with the last 2 years focused on AI implementation. He is a Lovable Champion, an earned Discord community-support volunteer role, a Lovable beta user for over a year, and has nine Anthropic Academy course completions.

TechTide AI is the consulting firm. One ladder, four rungs: Production Block Call at $250 for a single named blocker, Systems Decision Audit at $1,000 for a ship, fix, redesign, or stop decision on one AI workflow, Airtable Rescue Decision Sprint at $2,500 for a continuity-first decision map on one operationally important Airtable system, and Critical System Implementation at a fixed $10,000 to $25,000 scope, application-only after a decision engagement. Every rung is paid, fee confirmed in writing before work starts. The Operator Ledger is the proof spine. The Anti-Hype Manifesto is the voice contract.

How we work

Ops-First

Built by someone who has lived in the trenches of IT. Not a bootcamp grad.

Full Ownership

You get the source code, the docs, and the deploy. No lock-in, no retainer bleed. Walk away running it yourself anytime.

Security Default

RLS, Zod, JWT, DOMPurify, baked in from day one. Not optional add-ons.
