By Mr Kendriod

The Artisan & the Algorithm

How a Solo Maker and Her AI Sidekick Built a Global Brand

What happens when a Lagos jewelry maker teams up with a quiet, hard-working AI-then refuses to lose the soul of her craft?
This warm, true-to-life narrative follows Kemi from a tiny market stall to a growing global brand, guided by Ayo, an AI "sidekick" that helps her see what she already has: authentic story, careful hands, and the courage to price her work with dignity. You'll watch the late-night experiments, the first international orders, the near-mistakes and small miracles, and the brand-Cowrie & Coral-come to life without sci-fi gimmicks.

Told in simple, human language and set against the rhythms of Lagos, this book blends story with practical playbooks a solo creator can use the same day.

Inside you'll discover:

A maker's roadmap: Make / Market / Manage-how to grow without burning out.

Brand, pricing, and profit the honest way (no "exposure" discounts).

Gentle marketing that invites, not shouts-story-first captions, reels that feel like hands working.

Customer care scripts that turn problems into loyalty (S.O.F.T. and E.A.S.E. frameworks).

How to collaborate with an AI assistant while keeping your voice and values.

Perfect for: crafters, Etsy/Instagram sellers, solo entrepreneurs, and anyone curious about using AI ethically to scale their handmade or creator business.

If you've ever wondered, "Can I grow and still stay me?"-this book shows how to pair craft with smart systems, price with respect, and build a brand that feels like home.
