Former Founder Brings AI To Homestead
Ryan Courtnage, the 51-year-old cofounder of Benevity, quit tech in 2020, bought 22 acres in Creston, British Columbia, and largely avoided computers for years before returning after ChatGPT and AI coding tools reignited his interest. He now runs an OpenClaw-powered home assistant with sensors and cameras to monitor tanks and property, uses Google AI Pro and Antigravity, and plans to manage Airbnb bookings.
