About

Alex Smith is the founder of spktr, applied AI for growing businesses. He spent twelve years in China, where he ran Le Wagon's coding schools across three cities and later spent three years as a product manager at Klarna. He moved back to the US in 2026 and settled in Phoenixville, where he started Greater Philly AI, a weekly meetup for people building with these tools.

spktr is applied AI for growing businesses. Alex Smith helps owner-operated companies across Greater Philadelphia put AI to work across sales, marketing, customer service, operations and finance, and builds custom tools when off-the-shelf software can't do the job. He handles both the strategy and the build, so what a client gets is working software rather than a deck.
