Hi, I'm Charlie Spicer

I'm a Gold Coast AI consultant and the founder of Triple Eight AI. I spent 5 years working in enterprise automation engineering before moving here, and I started this business because I saw how much time small business owners were losing to work that could genuinely run itself.

A bit about me

I moved to the Gold Coast from New Zealand because I wanted a different kind of life. More sun, more movement, more time doing things that actually matter. That shift in perspective shapes everything about how I run Triple Eight AI. I don't think work should swallow your week.

My background is in Automation and Process Engineering. I spent 5 years designing and deploying systems at an enterprise scale, which gave me a way of looking at workflows that I now bring to every client engagement. I can walk into a business, sit with the owner for 30 minutes, and usually identify within the first session where the biggest time losses are.

I started Triple Eight AI after noticing a real gap on the Gold Coast. There were business owners who were genuinely curious about AI and automation but had no idea where to start, and plenty of people happy to sell them something complicated before they understood the basics. I wanted to be the opposite of that.

I keep things practical. If something won't actually help your business, I'll tell you in the first session. No pitch, no pressure, no six-month retainer to think about it.

Live deliberately. Keep moving. Don't leave potential unused.

What I actually work with

The tools I use every day

I'm hands-on. These are the tools I use to build, test, and run automation systems for clients, not ones I just recommend.

OpenClaw

My primary automation framework for building client workflows. Flexible, powerful, and the client owns everything it produces.

Claude Code / Cowork

For building and iterating on automations quickly. Claude Code is part of how I move fast without cutting corners on quality.

OpenAI Codex

Used for code generation and testing automation logic. Keeps the work precise and catches edge cases before they become client problems.

How I work

What you can expect working with me

Honest from the start

If automation isn't the right move for your business right now, I'll say so. No upselling, no wasted time.

I move fast

No six-month discovery phases. I build quickly, hand things over clearly, and stay available as your systems grow.

Plain language

You'll always know what I'm building, why it works, and what it costs. No jargon, no vague deliverables.

I'm local

Based on the Gold Coast. I understand the local business landscape and I can actually meet with you in person.

You own everything

Every system I build belongs to you. No lock-in, no ongoing licence fees to me, no dependency on me to keep things running.

Long-term thinking

I'm not here for a quick project fee. I want to be the person you call when your business is ready to scale up again.
