OMAI
OMAI (Operations Manager AI) is a live AI product that automates day-to-day business workflows: it uses the Google Gemini API for intelligent task handling and decision support, so routine operational work moves without a human pushing every step. It grew directly out of real operational needs — the automations it runs are ones I first did by hand.
The problem
Routine operational work — triaging tasks, moving information between tools, making small repeatable decisions — eats hours every week. Most of it follows patterns an AI layer can genuinely handle, if it's scoped honestly.
Who it's for
- Operators and small teams drowning in repetitive workflow steps
- Businesses that want AI assistance grounded in their real processes
User roles
- Operator
My responsibility
What I actually did on this project — kept honest, especially on collaborative work.
- Designed the automation model around real, observed workflows
- Integrated the Google Gemini API for task handling and decision support
- Built the interface, deployed, and maintain the product
Product decisions
- Automate only workflows that were first understood manually
- Use Gemini as an assistive layer with clear boundaries, not a black box
Architecture
Next.js App Router frontend on Vercel with the Google Gemini API driving task handling and decision support; Firebase backs identity and workflow state.
Key features
Every feature is labelled by its real state. Nothing planned is shown as shipped.
- AI task handling (Gemini-powered)Implemented
- Business workflow automationImplemented
- Decision supportImplemented
- Deeper workflow integrationsPlanned
Challenges
- Keeping AI behaviour predictable enough to trust with real operations
- Scoping automation honestly — knowing what the model should not decide
Solutions
- Constrained, well-defined prompts per workflow instead of one open-ended agent
- Human-visible outcomes so every automated step can be checked
Deployment
Continuous deployment to Vercel from the project repository.
Current limitations
What this project does not do yet — stated plainly.
- Coverage is focused on a curated set of workflows, not every business process
Lessons learned
- AI automation works best when it encodes a process you already understand by hand
Future roadmap
- Broaden the set of supported workflows
- Deeper integrations with the tools the workflows touch
