Today it takes me 10 minutes or less a week to plan and run 3–5 businesses, plus my family and household — all pointed at the same long-term goals.
KnightLeap is my AI-powered program and project manager. It sets the long-term objectives, drives the weekly work that moves them, and ties everything back to the key results I'm chasing — while cutting the busywork to almost nothing. It's how I get outsized results as a solopreneur.
I wanted a custom-tailored suit, not one off the rack — so I built it.
I'd tried the usual tools (Monday.com and ClickUp among them — I'm even a certified Monday.com partner) and could always get close, never quite right. A quick word on why I figured I could do better: I'm Rick Apichairuk, 20+ years in tech — engineer, Scrum master, program manager, CTO, founder/CEO. So off-the-shelf wasn't for lack of trying.
It's opinionated, on purpose. I curated the frameworks I trust most — OKRs and Scrum — and tied them tightly together, with a one-week sprint because that's how I actually live. Then I let AI handle the busywork: it drafts my stories, acceptance criteria, and tasks, grooms my backlog, and helps manage my OKRs. I even built a custom MCP server so AI works directly inside KnightLeap — picking up stories and moving them through the sprint. It's free for everyone: bring your own AI key and pay your provider directly, no markups.
If you're a technical founder juggling several ventures — with an AI coding agent as your dev team and a life outside of work — this was built for you. Give KnightLeap a try and tell me what you think; I hope you like it as much as I do.
I wish you the best in your endeavors,
Founder & CEO of RickAPI.com, Knight Digital Partners, KnightLeap.com, and VidBiz.ai
