Hi, I'm John Kelly.

I'm a software developer based in Raleigh. I build working software with AI — not demos, not slide decks. Real tools for real businesses that change how work gets done day-to-day.

Oak City Intelligence started because I kept seeing small businesses pay too much for software they didn't control. Concierge is live — a 24/7 receptionist that answers calls and texts, trained on your business. Publicist handles your content — AI-written articles, social posts, and scheduled publishing, all in your voice. Agent is an autonomous assistant that pursues your goals between conversations. Studio does custom builds when you need software shaped around your operation.

I'm an NC State grad and have worked on engineering problems for clients across the country. When you book a Studio consultation, I'm the one who shows up — in plain language, with no agenda except getting your situation right.

If you'd rather hear the whole argument before you talk to me, the talk I gave to the Holly Springs Rotary in July 2026 is published in full — script, slides, and a sample of the narration — at oakcityintelligence.com/talks/ai-for-small-business/.
