Services: workshops, consulting and development with Alexander Frings
I am a designer, not a programmer. But to me, designing means solving a problem using the best possible tool, and these are things I have already built, and that work today elsewhere.
AI for innovation
Workshop.
Who it is for
Teams and organisations that want to create new solutions (apps, websites, services) and do not know where to start.
What you get
A hands-on workshop centred on design methodologies and artistic thinking: how to take an idea to an innovative solution that works, with artificial intelligence as the tool. Automations and agents come in at the end, as one more piece.
Example projects
- StarMatch: Networking Data Art: Data art and B2B networking installation designed for events. It transforms the attendee list into an interactive 3D galaxy: each person is a star. When someone activates theirs…
- CRTIC-Chat: CRTIC's own conversational assistant built on nanochat, Andrej Karpathy's small open language model. It is fine-tuned on a synthetic dataset that represents the centre's identity…
Automations and agents
Build.
Who it is for
Teams with repetitive processes: expense reports, documents, queries, customer care.
What you get
An agent or an automation connected to the tools you already use (WhatsApp, email, spreadsheets, databases), up and running and in charge of one concrete task.
Example projects
- Smart Expense Agent: AI agent connected to WhatsApp to receive and process photos of financial documents. Computer vision + NLP to extract data, detect anomalies and structure into a corporate…
- Gus: AI Brand Assistant: A platform of AI agents for the food business, born as a thesis for UAI's MSc in Innovation and Design. n8n automation for small owners: it manages the brand identity (palette…
- Oráculo: A Digital Twin of Chile: A multi-agent simulation engine to support decisions at CRTIC. From real Chilean signals it builds a knowledge graph, generates dozens of synthetic people and has them debate in…
Websites that rank
Build.
Who it is for
Anyone who needs a website that shows up on Google and is worth sharing.
What you get
The site designed and built to measure, with SEO from the ground up, and advice on how to distribute the content well.
Example projects
- Distrito Parrillero · Experiencias que nacen al fuego: Asados premium a domicilio en Santiago: parrilleros profesionales, cortes seleccionados y parrilla en vivo. Cotiza tu evento por WhatsApp.
- ÁGORA Summit Tecnocreativo · 9 oct 2026 · Esfera MET, Santiago: Summit inmersivo en Full Dome 360° con Hideaki Ogawa (Ars Electronica) y el estreno mundial de INSIDE VALDIVIA. 9 de octubre de 2026, Esfera MET, Santiago.
- CRTIC · Casa de la tecnocreatividad: El CRTIC es el centro donde la tecnología cruza las industrias creativas: capacitamos, prototipamos, validamos y articulamos la matriz tecnocreativa chilena.
Custom software and apps
Build.
Who it is for
A need that no existing tool covers well.
What you get
A web or mobile application, designed and built end to end, with AI built in where it adds something.
Example projects
- StarMatch: Networking Data Art: Data art and B2B networking installation designed for events. It transforms the attendee list into an interactive 3D galaxy: each person is a star. When someone activates theirs…
- ActiveUnlock: Exergaming: CRTIC research and prototype on body-tracked physical play to increase active breaks at work. Using MediaPipe as the computer-vision engine, it proposes a background app that…
- Digital Signage with Audience AI: Digital signage that reacts to who is looking at it. On the screen's own hardware, a vision model estimates presence, attention (where the person is looking) and audience…
Operations and data flows
Consulting.
Who it is for
Teams that want to put order into how they work: processes, information, tools.
What you get
A diagnosis, the workflow and data flow defined (content management included), and the tools, with AI, to keep it running over time.
Example projects
- Smart Expense Agent: AI agent connected to WhatsApp to receive and process photos of financial documents. Computer vision + NLP to extract data, detect anomalies and structure into a corporate…
- Oráculo: A Digital Twin of Chile: A multi-agent simulation engine to support decisions at CRTIC. From real Chilean signals it builds a knowledge graph, generates dozens of synthetic people and has them debate in…
