1:1 Guidance

You can set up the $77 Starter Pack completely on your own using the free guides. If you'd rather not do it alone, or you need something custom, that's what this page is for.

David takes on a small number of hands-on clients: installing and tuning your agent, connecting it to your tools, building automations for your business, or building the whole system with you. Hourly guidance or a scoped sprint, depending on how much you want built. Rates are below.

The easiest first step is a free discovery call. Thirty minutes, no pitch, no pressure. We figure out what's breaking, whether I can help, and what that would look like. Prefer not to hop on a call? Message me on Telegram or fill out the form below instead.

About David

David Butler, founder of Divergent Systems and neurodivergent software architect

My name is David Butler. I was diagnosed with autism and ADHD in my forties. Before that, I spent twenty years in software engineering wondering why I could architect complex systems but couldn't reply to a simple email.

I didn't start Divergent Systems because I read about neurodivergence. I started it because I built the system for myself first.

My AI agent helps me run my life. It manages my calendar, drafts my emails, tracks what I'm avoiding, adjusts to my energy, and doesn't take it personally when I go dark for three days. My knowledge base holds what I've learned and everyone I know. My daily planner sorts by energy, not deadlines.

I built it because nothing else worked. Every productivity tool assumed I could maintain it with a consistency I don't have. So I built something that doesn't need my consistency, and I've used it every day for months.

Twenty years of software architecture taught me to model how people actually think and work, not how the software wishes they did. That's the same skill that makes an AI agent genuinely useful: shaping it around how your brain works, instead of forcing you to adapt to it.

I know what it feels like to be smart enough to mask and stubborn enough to think the problem is willpower. I know the shame spiral. I know the drawer full of abandoned planners.

I also know what it feels like when the system finally fits, when you stop fighting your brain and start working with it. I built it, I live in it every day, and I know how to make these agents work for you too.

Ways to work together

Two ways in, depending on how much you want built. Either way, David confirms the scope with you before any paid work begins.

Guidance and custom setup

$222/hr

Hands-on help: installing and tuning your agent, connecting it to your tools, building automations for your business, migrating your notes, or debugging a custom setup. Billed by the hour, scope agreed up front.

Transformation Sprint (done-with-you)

$3,000–5,000

A few weeks of building the whole system with you, end to end: agent, knowledge base, planning, integrations, and guided onboarding that respects how you learn. For people who'd rather not do the setup alone.

Want to just chat about it first?

No forms, no formality. Ask me anything about the pack, a custom build, what it'd cost, or whether it's a fit. I'm a real person, not a sales funnel.
