About

Hi, I’m Willy.

[Portrait of Willy goes here]
Willy Husted, [FILL IN: Founder & Principal]

I build AI systems that do real work, and I help teams figure out which ones are worth building.

[FILL IN: background. Where you’ve worked, what you’ve built and shipped, and the moment you realised most AI projects fail for boring reasons rather than technical ones.]

[FILL IN: why Tomtar Labs. Why independent, who you like working with and what you won’t do.]

[FILL IN: how you work. Short, direct, hands-on, in the code. About 150–250 words in total.]

The name

Why Tomtar?

Tomtar are the tomtes of Scandinavian folklore: small household spirits who quietly keep the farm running overnight. Treat them well and the work gets done. That’s the job good AI automation should do: helpful, mostly invisible, and making everything else run.

How I work

Four rules I don’t bend.

  1. 01

    Ship small and early

    You see working software in the first weeks, not a slide at the end.

  2. 02

    Measure everything

    Every system ships with a baseline and a way to tell if it’s working.

  3. 03

    Your data stays yours

    Built in your accounts where possible, with providers that don’t train on it.

  4. 04

    No lock-in

    You own the code, the prompts and the docs. Your team can run it without me.
