Carlos Ortega Lopez
I design, build, and ship products to paying customers. I founded Restock Bot Alerts, a subscription platform I built with AI. That builder mindset is backed by 18+ years of product and go-to-market leadership at Adobe, Dell, and American Express.
Things I've built
Restock Bot Alerts
- Find it: real-time online alerts and in-store inventory visibility.
- Buy it: a browser extension that takes members from restock alert to checkout with minimal manual intervention.
- Profit from it: margin analytics, historical data, and payout comparisons.
- Built with AI at every step: custom AI skills and agent workflows let a one-person team ship fixes and features in hours instead of weeks.
AI marketplace lister
Drop product photos in a folder and AI identifies each item, researches prices, and writes a ready-to-post listing. I approve and publish. The first item sold the next day.
Travel hacking wiki
A personal travel-hacking research engine. It collects every post from the blogs and podcasts I follow, tags and extracts the details that matter (offers, transfer bonuses, award prices, expiry dates), and turns them into a searchable research database and a wiki updated and maintained by AI.
Always-on home AI assistant
A self-hosted AI assistant in Slack and Telegram that helps my family keep track of day-to-day life, so I can hand off routine tasks and get time back.
Road-trip activity booklets
Custom activity booklets for my kids, so long road trips are spent drawing and solving puzzles instead of staring at a screen.
