AI that earns its place in the business.
I'm Keith Soyka — 22+ years running real-world operations, now building and advising on AI systems that survive contact with reality. Through GestaltView and client work, I help small and mid-sized businesses find the right AI opportunity, build it responsibly, and put it into operation — plus design services that make complex ideas legible.
Operational judgment. Production AI. One accountable builder. · New York / remote · Available for part-time, contract, fractional, and advisory work.
Three lanes, one standard: inspectable work.
Whether it's an AI system, an operation, or a brand identity, the work follows the same discipline — evidence first, interpretation labeled, handoff documented. Pick the lane that matches your problem.
AI Implementation & Systems Advisory
Opportunity audits, bespoke agent/system builds, and fractional advisory for teams that need AI sized to the actual constraint — not a stack looking for a reason to exist.
- AI Opportunity Audit — from $2,500
- Bespoke AI Agent / System Build — from $5,000
- Fractional AI Advisory — from $2,500/mo
Design that makes ideas legible
Logo and identity systems, pitch decks investors can follow, web design, and software builds — from someone who has iterated a brand through dozens of versions and lived to document it.
- Logo design — $175 personal / $350 business
- Presentation design — $75/hr
- Web design & software builds — scoped
Fractional ops for businesses that run on people
22+ years of frontline operations leadership — P&L, labor, inventory, multi-site transitions, training. The same discipline as the systems work: find the constraint, fix the process, document the handoff.
- P&L and financial accountability
- Labor planning and team leadership
- Multi-site operations & transitions
Built to be inspected, not mythologized.
A production multi-model AI runtime and the systems around it — described with the evidence labels each claim has actually earned.
GestaltView v3
A user-directed continuity and recognition system: preserves source context, distinguishes original material from interpretation, and connects confirmed context to action. Multi-model orchestration, hybrid retrieval, governed data handling.
Open the live runtime →Billy — collaborator agent
The context engine at GestaltView's center, running across web, Discord, and Reddit. Built around ten constitutional invariants — five user-facing, five for digital intelligences.
How it's built →Portfolio Throughline Test
An eval harness that checks whether an AI system preserves relationships across tasks — five local tasks, a scored rubric, contradiction and missing-evidence probes. The methodology I bring to client evaluations.
The methodology →"The audience sees light. The operator sees the chain of small decisions that makes the light possible."— Years in projection booths and frontline operations taught me to pay attention to consequences: the invisible choice, the failure mode, the handoff path. That's the same lens I bring to AI.
