02 — Engagements
We work with the peoplewho open at 9am.
Fixed price. Same-week starts. No retainers, no hourly games. Deep runs a deli on Ann Road — these are prices he'd actually pay himself. From $500 to $15,000+.
◆ A note from the founder
“I own a deli. I answer iMessage leads at 2am. I built three brands while running a smoke shop on Ann Road. When I tell you a $500 site will outperform your Squarespace — that’s not theory, that’s Tuesday.”
Real things. Not portfolio fiction. Site, chat, iMessage, voice, content, video, vertical platform, brand. Every tile below has a live URL behind it.

Two operators.One forge.
Deep builds and sells. Johnny ships and operates. Both spend more time in the forge than on the deck.
DP
CEO & Founder
Deep Patel
Deep Patel is the founder & CEO of Hephaestus AI and a Las Vegas personal concierge. He founded Heartbeat Vegas and Tonite Vegas — platforms expanding nightlife into the agentic age — and builds SaaS like iReplied.ai, an iMessage agent that replies to nightlife leads in the operator's voice (blue bubbles, at scale, while the operator sleeps). Before all this he was the #1 promoter at TAO Group for four consecutive years across nine of the Strip's biggest venues. He still co-owns Bodega Food & Smoke Shop in North Las Vegas — a four-wall retail business running today. Strong suits: promoting, brand-building, non-traditional marketing. He brings the soul in "AI with soul" because he sells to humans face-to-face every night — and ships software for them every day.
