Carlos Ortega Lopez

Product leader and AI-native builder

I design, build, and ship products to paying customers. I founded Restock Bot Alerts, a subscription platform I built with AI, and I bring 18+ years of product and go-to-market leadership from Adobe, Dell, and American Express.

Things I've built

The Restock Bot Alerts browser extension panel showing spot price, premium over spot, buyer payouts and one-click quantity checkout
The browser extension: market data and one-click checkout, right on the product page
The Restock Bot Alerts profitability dashboard with net revenue, net profit, margin, ROI and a monthly profit trend
The analytics dashboard: true profit after costs and card benefits

  • Find it: real-time online alerts and in-store inventory visibility.
  • Buy it: a browser extension that takes members from restock alert to checkout in one click, with the member always approving the final purchase.
  • 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.
Personal AI build

AI marketplace lister

Drop product photos in a folder and Claude identifies each item, researches prices, and writes a ready-to-post listing. I approve and publish. The first item sold the next day.

Personal AI build

Travel hacking wiki

A Claude Code project that keeps an always-current wiki of travel hacking information, because I couldn't keep up with it on my own.

Personal AI build

Always-on home AI assistant

A Mac Mini home server running a self-hosted AI assistant in Slack and Telegram that helps my family keep track of day-to-day life.

Personal AI build

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.
