SHORT BIO (50 WORDS)
Copy

He founded SteelWorks Intelligence to build autonomous business systems powered by open source AI — replacing expensive SaaS workflows with 26 AI agents running at $0/month through local models and free-first routing.

FULL BIO (300 WORDS)
Copy

Founded in 2026 by Mac Steel in Acworth, Georgia, SteelWorks Intelligence builds autonomous business systems for entrepreneurs and enterprises. Powered by open source AI infrastructure, the system runs 26 specialized autonomous agents across content, leads, real estate intelligence, trading research, business opportunities, and competitive monitoring — 24/7, at zero operational cost.

After years of paying for fragmented SaaS tools that did not communicate with each other, Mac set out to build a single integrated autonomous system. SteelWorks Intelligence now runs 26 AI agents, 162+ skills, and 171 scheduled operations 24/7 on self-hosted open source infrastructure at zero marginal cost.

The breakthrough that made the $0/month cost structure possible is free-first routing: PC-local Ollama models for heavy work, browser bridges for free GPT-class web sessions, and free cloud fallbacks only when needed. Technical architecture details available under NDA for qualified media.

SteelWorks Intelligence operates on a 5-Level Recursive Self-Improvement roadmap: from autonomous operation (Level 1 — complete) to agents writing their own skills (Level 2 — building), through autonomous income generation (L3), recursive self-funding (L4), and ultimately autonomous capital allocation via Alpaca stock market investing (L5). Mac documents the entire build publicly at @therealmacsteel across YouTube, TikTok, X, and LinkedIn.

Mac is available for media interviews, podcast appearances, and conference speaking on the topics of AI automation, autonomous business architecture, and the future of work in the agentic AI era. He is based in Acworth, GA (Atlanta metro) and works with entrepreneurs and enterprises nationwide.
