The story

I was the customer first.

I started as an Amazon seller. Like most online arbitrage and wholesale sellers, I spent my days in spreadsheets and dozens of Amazon tabs, checking each product by hand. In July 2019 I launched a tool to do that work for me. Other sellers asked for it, and it became Seller Assistant.

I still sell on Amazon. I own an Amazon wholesale business. A team runs it day to day, and it sources with Seller Assistant, so I test every feature as a seller before our customers see it.

Today Seller Assistant is a browser extension and web app that covers the full sourcing workflow: product analysis on Amazon pages, supplier price lists, IP and restriction checks, purchase orders and repricing. I lead product, engineering and strategy, and I still write code.

At our peak we were more than twenty people. In 2026 I rebuilt the company around AI agents. Today five people run Seller Assistant, and agents do much of the work across engineering, support, marketing and operations.

Before Seller Assistant I spent seven years in executive roles in Belarus and worked as a product manager in San Diego. I hold degrees in computer engineering and law.

Original work

Tools that changed how sellers work.

Each one started as a problem I had as a seller.

Platform 2019 to now

Seller Assistant

A browser extension and web app that puts profit, risk and sales data on every Amazon page, then carries the seller from a supplier price list to a purchase order. Calculator, IP checks, stock and restriction checks live in one tool.

Impact 250 million product analyses. Top 5 in Product Research on the Amazon Selling Partner Appstore. US trademark SELLER ASSISTANT, Reg. No. 6,634,902.

sellerassistant.app
Invention 2021

Impact A database of 500,000+ risks. US trademark IP-ALERT, Reg. No. 7,416,024.

See IP Alert
Wholesale 2023 to now

Price List Analyzer

Matches a supplier's price list to Amazon listings by UPC or EAN and ranks every line by profit and sales.

Impact Sellers scanned 13.5 million supplier lines with it in one year.

AI 2025 to now

AI sourcing and MCP server

One of the first MCP servers for Amazon resellers, also available as an app in ChatGPT and in the Claude directory. Sellers run sourcing, repricing and purchase orders from AI assistants.

Impact Brought AI agents into the daily work of wholesale sellers.

Repricing 2026

Repricer

An Amazon repricer that uses each product's real landed cost, so a price change never drops below the seller's margin.

Impact Closes the loop from sourcing to selling in one system.

AI-native company

Five people and a team of AI agents.

In 2026 I rebuilt Seller Assistant around AI. We went from more than twenty people to five. AI agents now do much of the daily work in every part of the company, and people review and decide.

20+ → 5 People on the team
5 of 5 Code repositories with AI review on every pull request
10+ Business functions run with AI agents

Engineering

  • AI code review on every pull request in all five codebases
  • Developers write and test code with AI assistants
  • AI agents run QA tests before each release
  • I prototype new features myself with Claude

Product and releases

  • Release notes written from production deploys
  • The website and Help Center update after each release
  • A morning product brief from the issue tracker

Customer support

  • An AI agent answers support requests
  • It keeps the Help Center up to date

Marketing

  • SEO research and reporting
  • Blog post writing
  • Social media management

Partnerships and operations

  • Partner and affiliate program screening
  • Payment disputes and payroll
  • Competitor monitoring and market research
  • Email triage and a personal assistant

Next

  • An AI agent that manages an Amazon business: sourcing, buying and repricing
  • Our MCP server already lets sellers run these tasks from Claude and other AI assistants

How we treated the team

When people moved on, we did not rehire for the role. AI agents took over that work. Everyone who stayed got AI tools for their own job, and their work grew in scope.
