About BatesAI
AI-powered product development
Our Approach
BatesAI specializes in rapid product development using AI agent workflows. We leverage multiple AI systems working in concert to design, develop, and deploy production-ready software solutions.
Our development process combines human expertise with AI capabilities across the entire product lifecycle—from initial concept and design through implementation, testing, and deployment. This allows us to ship quality products faster while maintaining high standards.
AI-First Development
We build with AI agent teams—specialized systems handling code generation, testing, design, and deployment. This enables rapid iteration and consistent quality across all projects.
Speed to Market
Our AI-assisted workflow allows us to go from concept to production in days, not months. Perfect for MVPs, proof-of-concepts, and rapid prototyping.

The Journey from Production to Product
From broadcast floors to building products. Daniel Bates spent over a decade in media production—managing live broadcasts at KNDU, coordinating multi-camera productions at South Hills Church, and solving technical challenges in high-pressure environments. These experiences taught valuable lessons about what makes technology actually useful: reliability, simplicity, and solving real friction points.
The transition to software development came from a frustration many production professionals share: existing tools were either overcomplicated or didn't quite fit the workflow. With a background in Digital Technology & Culture from WSU Tri-Cities, Daniel started building custom solutions—first for personal productivity, then for others facing similar challenges.
Enter AI-assisted development. In 2024, the landscape changed. AI coding assistants made it possible to build production-quality software at unprecedented speed. What used to take months now takes days. BatesAI emerged from this shift—combining a decade of understanding what users actually need with the ability to ship solutions rapidly.
Today, BatesAI focuses on practical productivity tools: browser extensions for remote workers, automation for Mac users, and systems that quietly solve daily annoyances. The products reflect lessons learned from production work—they're reliable, focused, and built for real workflows, not theoretical ones.
