David Vogel
Hi, I'm David Vogel.
I help founders and engineering teams build AI systems that work reliably in production—not just impressive demos.
My approach is grounded in Interpreted Context Methodology (ICM), the folder-structure approach to agentic workflows pioneered by Jake Van Cleef. Instead of relying on opaque orchestration frameworks, I use simple, inspectable systems that engineers can understand, maintain, and scale.
Most of my work is practical: simplifying architectures, improving context management, tightening feedback loops, and creating systems that remain legible as they grow.
I also lead a curated community of experienced AI practitioners focused on production-grade agent systems and operational excellence.
If you're building AI products and want pragmatic guidance on architecture, agent workflows, or shipping systems that last, I'd be glad to help.
User Feedback
A quick video call to discuss user experience and suggestions for Clief Notes
Discovery
A comprehensive deep-dive into your current AI infrastructure, memory architecture, and context workflows. We will map out your system-wide requirements, identify bottlenecks, and conclude with a formal quotation and implementation roadmap. Best for teams ready to build production-grade AI.
Hands On Training
30 min meeting
A focused, tactical consultation on a specific AI memory or context challenge. Ideal if you are stuck on a specific implementation detail, need a second opinion on your folder-based context structure, or want to troubleshoot a failing workflow. We won't map out your whole system, but we will solve the specific problem you bring to the table.
15 min meeting
A low-risk, high-signal entry point. We will spend 15 minutes reviewing your current AI context or memory setup to identify immediate bottlenecks.
How it works: If we identify a critical issue that requires a deeper architectural fix, you can apply the cost of this 15-minute call directly toward a Full Discovery session. Ideal for founders who want a quick sanity check before committing to a larger engagement."
