the work diary

You should never have to wonder where the month went.

Every client gets a running work diary — every credit drawn, logged against the work it paid for. Credits price the whole cost honestly: people, AI usage, infrastructure. Here's how it reads:

This was never a one-person job.

Bringing AI into your business takes strategy, design, engineering, project management — and judgment you can hold accountable. Hiring for it takes months with no guarantee. Subscribing to it takes days with Smarty.

questions, answered straight

The things people actually ask.

What exactly does $10,000 a month include?
Your Chief of AI — an MIT-trained CTO matched to your business — plus the full team behind them: PM, senior engineers, QA, security. The price covers the equivalent of a full-time senior hire each month, spent as credits across that team — and the standing job: your Chief continuously looking at what's worth automating next, keeping your roadmap current, and modernizing everything we've shipped as the technology changes. There is one price and this is it.
How do credits and the work diary work?
Your subscription is credits, and credits are one honest unit for everything the work actually costs — people's time, AI and token usage, infrastructure. Every credit drawn is logged in a work diary you can read anytime: who, what, and how much. It's how we'd want to be billed, so it's how we bill.
What happens in a month when I need more?
You top up — same transparent rate, logged in the same diary, and you approve it before anyone works the hours. Top-ups are for the occasional big push, not a hidden second price; most months the subscription covers the work.
Why this instead of hiring someone?
A real senior AI lead takes months to find, costs more than this alone, and then you still have to evaluate their work with no one technical beside you. Here you get the leader and the team, working within days — and if it's ever not right, you cancel and keep everything, which no hire can offer.
Why this instead of a dev shop — or building it myself?
A dev shop executes whatever spec you hand it — the judgment stays your job. Your Chief of AI's job is the judgment: what to build first, what it's worth, what can wait. And if you've been building yourself, keep going — we're the difference between a prototype that demos and a system that runs your business, and we take it that last, hardest mile and then maintain it.
How do I know the work will be good?
One name is accountable for it — your Chief stakes their judgment on every build, and you'll be evaluating working software early, not slideware or promises. Production architecture, QA that holds as code changes, and security your team can sign off on are the standard, not the upsell.
What if I want to leave?
Cancel anytime. Everything we built is already yours — in your repo, on your accounts, code and IP and data. No buyout, no wind-down fee, no hostage period. We'd rather earn next month than lock you into it.
