guava
Romeo Diaz, founder of Guava.
I’m the person who does the work. I assess where AI fits, roll it out, and coach your team until it runs AI on its own, and then I step back.
Background
- 15+ years of engineering, hands-on at companies like Airbnb, Uber & Facebook
- 5 years building AI agents and workflow automations for tech services firms, at places like Google, Pinterest & Cisco
- Background in solutions architecture, DevOps & cloud, so I know how tech services firms actually run
- Track record Most recently, as Chief AI Officer, I took an SF-based tech staffing company from placements to AI services. See the numbers
- My Private Benchmarks I built Main Street Bench and MSP Bench, my private evaluation benchmarks of how well AI models look after a small business and a managed IT provider. My own AI usage is public, live from Elastic
- Open source I built and use Guava Mode, a free plugin that gives Claude, ChatGPT and Grok Bot one shared AI context in Notion, routes each job to the right model, and adds 23 working rules
How I work
Independent. I have no vendor partnerships, resold licenses, or referral fees. I roll out Microsoft 365 Copilot, Claude Enterprise, and ChatGPT Enterprise, and tell you honestly which one fits each team.
Founder-led. Guava is the new name for my five years of building AI agents and workflow automations for clients. It’s me for now: no junior bench, and a fixed fee in writing before any work starts. The new name lets me add senior engineers who work with you directly.
