Your on call tech guy.

I'm the first call
they make on
anything tech.

A select group of Business owners keep me on call for whenever they have a tech question — instead of wasting time or risking money figuring it out themselves.

Chike Obi
The Challenge
You didn't start a business
to become your own IT guy.

But somehow you've become one anyway — overwhelmed by a hundred tools and unsure which one actually fits, terrified of making a tech decision that costs you thousands, gambling on strangers from Fiverr who disappear halfway through, and losing nights to YouTube and courses just to keep up with AI that won't stop moving. You don't need to figure all this out. You just need someone you can call.

About Me
Chike Obi

I'm Chike Obi.

I've built multiple AI-powered businesses from zero — not from the sidelines, but hands-on across design, engineering, marketing, sales, and automation. I've shipped real products and helped real founders stop guessing and start building.

I started Hotline CTO because every business owner I talked to had the same problem: no one to call when it came to tech. So they burned months and thousands figuring it out alone.

I'm the call you make to avoid mistakes.

Expertise

AI Integration

I cut through the AI hype and deploy tools that create real leverage — automating draining workflows, building custom GPT agents, and auditing where AI actually moves the needle for your business.

Digital Business

I've built multiple digital businesses from scratch. I help founders validate before they over-invest, develop products people want, and make smarter decisions at every stage of growth.

Web & App Development

I've shipped real websites, apps, and SaaS platforms. I help you hire the right developers, choose between no-code and custom, and plan your MVP so you launch the right thing the first time.

Social Media & Marketing

Great products don't sell themselves. I help you build funnels and content systems that drive growth — with the right automation, and a paid and organic strategy that compounds instead of burning budget.
