Dvelop AI (dvelopai.com) is a very early-stage, Topeka-based AI automation platform and custom build shop.

It positions itself as “one dashboard that runs the busywork” so a single operator (or small business) can offload posts, emails, research, follow-ups, and repetitive workflows while focusing on higher-value work.

Core Product

The main offering is a chat-first AI assistant that acts rather than just answers. You describe tasks in plain English; it writes content, posts to socials, sends emails, researches, builds custom tools, and runs scheduled automations. Key pieces include:

• Chat that executes — persistent memory across conversations, file attachments, multi-step actions.
• App connections — Gmail, Calendar, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Slack, Stripe, Google Sheets, and others (via OAuth or pasted keys). Business/Enterprise tiers support custom API/OAuth connections and “bring your own key” for models (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.).
• Self-building tools — describe a need (e.g., price watcher) and it builds/tests the tool.
• Automations — recurring (hourly/daily/weekly) jobs that run without further input.
• Goal tracking — set targets; the system works toward them and shows progress.
• Security messaging: AES-256 encryption, user-controlled data/keys, bank-grade claims.

The interface is framed as a single calm screen covering chat, connections, tools, automations, and goals.

Pricing (current)

Plan	Monthly	Key Limits	Notes
Pro	$20	3 concurrent chats, 150 AI runs, 5 automations, 5 apps	Entry point
Business	$50	10 chats, 1,000 runs, 25 automations, unlimited apps + custom connections	Most popular
Enterprise	$100	Unlimited, priority support, team features coming	Highest throughput

20% off annual. No long lock-in; upgrades immediate, downgrades at period end. Custom work starts with a $200 diagnostic that produces a fixed quote within 48 hours. Quoted tiers range from small automations/integrations ($1.2k–$3k) up through multi-system builds ($3k–$10k), complex/IoT/full platforms ($10k–$50k+), and larger enterprise engagements ($75k–$1M+).

Custom Solutions Side

Beyond the SaaS product they offer consulting and builds for:

• AI automation of workflows/reporting
• Machine & IoT integration/monitoring
• API/workflow integrations (CRMs, ERPs, etc.)
• Custom chatbots (web, Telegram, etc.)
• Full custom platforms/dashboards
• Pure consulting/diagnostics

Process is diagnostic → fixed-price proposal → build/deploy → optional maintenance retainer.

Founder & Company Profile

Run by one founder: Colter Grant Robinson (also listed as Colter Robinson). He is an independent game developer who built and published Metamancer, a procedural-generation roguelike (fully procedural sprites, maps, items, factions). It launched in Steam Early Access in August 2025 and reached full 1.0 around July 2026. The company leans hard into the “built in Topeka, KS / run by one founder / local and accountable” positioning.

X account (@DvelopAI) was created in March 2026 (still very low follower count). The website and content cadence ramped up mid-2026. Blog posts are frequent (AI news briefs, how-to guides, local Topeka/Kansas AI scene coverage) and often self-attributed as “written, illustrated, and published by Dvelop AI.” Recent example (Aug 6, 2026): a guide to Topeka/Kansas AI events and resources (Heartland AI Symposium at K-State, library workshops, TIBA sessions, KC AI Club, etc.), with a soft product plug.

Positioning & Differentiation

• Target: solo operators and small businesses drowning in repetitive digital work, plus clients who need custom AI systems.
• Messaging emphasizes relief from tool-switching and busywork, autonomy, and local accountability rather than enterprise-scale claims or massive funding narratives.
• Distinct from the large German document-management company d.velop (d-velop.com) — different domain, different product, different geography. Also unrelated to other similarly named AI tools (embedded IDEs, etc.).

Assessment

Strengths: Clear, low-friction pricing; strong no-code + action-oriented positioning; demonstrated solo software-building capability via the game; genuine local Topeka angle; security and data-control language that addresses common buyer concerns; content engine that keeps the site active.

Limitations / risks (as of August 2026): Extremely early stage with minimal public social proof, testimonials, or case studies. One-person operation means support and capacity are inherently limited. Blog volume is high but much of it is broader AI news synthesis. Real-world reliability, uptime, and edge-case handling of complex multi-app automations are not yet widely validated publicly.

Local relevance: For someone operating in Topeka real estate, content creation, deal flow, or advocacy, the combination of social/email automation, research assistance, goal tracking, and custom workflow builds is potentially useful. The founder’s presence in the same city and the company’s active coverage of the local AI ecosystem make it easier to evaluate in person than a remote SaaS tool.

Overall, this is a young, tightly focused, founder-led AI automation product + services shop rooted in Topeka. It is still in the “prove the model and grow from a local base” phase rather than a scaled platform. Worth a hands-on trial of the Pro tier or a $200 diagnostic conversation if the busywork automation use case fits.

Ty has the nomination. Now it’s about winning the state. Calling Philip today and making that offer would be a smart, strong move. I hope he does it.

A Few Thoughts After the Primary

I watched the returns the other night and I’ll be honest — I was a little surprised Curt Skoog didn’t do better on the Democratic side. He’s been mayor of Overland Park a good while and I figured he’d pull more votes than he did. Instead, Cindy Holscher from Overland Park came out on top. She’s the one staring us in the face now for November.

Ty Masterson won the Republican primary. It is what it is. I was a Philip Sarnecki supporter and I still am. Philip ran a strong race as a businessman and outsider who understands how to build something and make it work. A lot of good people backed him for the same reasons I did.

What would help Ty the most right now is simple: reach out to Philip today. Not next week. Today. Ask for his help — not just in winning the governor’s race, but ask him to take the Department of Administration if Ty wins. That job is about running the day-to-day machinery of state government. Philip has built companies that employ hundreds of people, managed big operations, and focused on results instead of politics. Putting someone with that kind of experience in charge of how the state spends money, buys things, and manages its own house would send a clear message.

It would also bring people together. Primary fights leave bruises. Reaching out to Philip and offering him a real seat at the table would tell the folks who voted for him that their voice still matters. It would show conservatives across Kansas that this campaign is serious about cleaning up waste, getting value for every tax dollar, and putting competent people in charge instead of the usual revolving door. That kind of unity and seriousness can tip the scales when you’re up against a well-funded Democrat from Johnson County who will run hard until the end.

Ty has the nomination. Now it’s about winning the state. Calling Philip today and making that offer would be a smart, strong move. I hope he does it.

Vote for Ty Masterson

Cindy Holscher, a Kansas state senator from the Overland Park/Johnson County area (District 8).

She won the Democratic primary on August 4, 2026, with roughly 48–49% of the vote, defeating fellow state Sen. Ethan Corson (who had outgoing Gov. Laura Kelly’s endorsement) and Overland Park Mayor Curt Skoog. She will face Republican Senate President Ty Masterson in the November general election.

Background

Holscher (born 1969 in Slater, Missouri; full name Cynthia L. Holscher, née Blumhorst) comes from a working-class farm family—her father was a union construction worker and her mother a school custodian/bus driver. She is a first-generation college graduate (University of Missouri, degrees in journalism and political science). She and her husband Greg have lived in Kansas for over 25 years; their three children attended public schools. She previously worked in marketing/operations at Sprint (including large budgets) before entering politics.

She first ran for the Kansas House in 2016 (winning a Republican-held seat), motivated by opposition to then-Gov. Sam Brownback’s tax cuts and school funding cuts. She co-founded a bipartisan women’s caucus, helped reverse some of those policies, and later won a competitive Senate race in 2020 in a Republican-leaning district. She has served as Senate Minority Whip and sits on committees including Public Health and Welfare and Government Efficiency.

Positions and style

Her campaign emphasizes “kitchen table” affordability issues, public education funding, and standing up for working families against corporate interests and special deals. Key stances include:

• Expanding Medicaid.
• Raising the state minimum wage (she has pushed for $16/hour, with local flexibility).
• Legalizing cannabis (medical and recreational), with revenue potentially directed to schools/farmers.
• Property tax relief (e.g., lowering residential assessment rates and protections for seniors/veterans).
• Fully funding public schools and opposing vouchers/private school shifts of public money.
• Supporting abortion rights (she opposed the 2022 constitutional amendment effort to restrict them).
• A statewide moratorium on new large data centers (citing energy costs, water use, farmland impacts, and taxpayer subsidies; she previously supported some related tax exemptions but later reversed).
• Criticism of certain corporate tax breaks, stadium subsidy deals, and “extremist” or establishment approaches.

She presents herself as a bipartisan problem-solver who can win in red-leaning areas and as more anti-establishment/populist than the Kelly-backed alternative. She has highlighted her farm/union/military family roots and record of passing bills (e.g., protections related to domestic abuse survivors, Purple Alert for missing adults with disabilities).

On “wild” or extreme views

That depends on the perspective. Holscher and supporters describe her priorities (Medicaid expansion, higher minimum wage, cannabis legalization, data-center limits, school funding) as mainstream Kansas positions with broad public support. During the primary, Gov. Kelly and some allies portrayed her as too far left or “extremist” relative to a more moderate path, arguing it could hurt electability in a general election; Republicans have amplified similar attacks, tying her to progressive priorities on education, taxes, and social issues.

Conservative scorecards rate her poorly (low single-digit to teens percentages on limited-government/free-market measures), reflecting consistent opposition to many Republican priorities on taxes, education choice, parental-rights bills, and related matters. She has a strong progressive tilt on abortion, LGBTQ-related issues in some votes, and worker protections, while emphasizing fiscal recovery from the Brownback era and practical affordability. Nothing in major reporting depicts fringe conspiracy theories or highly idiosyncratic radicalism; the “wild” label is mostly partisan framing around standard left-of-center Democratic positions in a red state.

In short, she is a relatively progressive Johnson County Democrat with a working-class background who beat the establishment favorite in the primary by running against corporate giveaways and for kitchen-table issues. Her general-election viability will hinge on whether those positions play as pragmatic or as too left for broader Kansas voters.

Just wanted to throw something out there. [coffee with Henry]

 Philip,

You ran a solid race and talked a lot about Kansas needing a turnaround. I kept thinking about that. If that’s really the goal, the best place to actually make it happen might be Secretary of Administration. That’s the department that runs the real machinery — budget, personnel, procurement, facilities, the whole back office that either makes government work or keeps it stuck.

I’m not saying it’s an easy job, and I know it’s a big ask. But if Ty ends up needing someone who understands how things actually operate and wants results instead of just another title, you ought to at least put your name in front of him.

If you decide to reach out, I’m happy to help however I can. No pressure either way — just thought it was worth saying out loud.
