No jargon, no fluff - here's what working with us actually looks like.
Build your product

Data entry, onboarding, invoicing, support - we set up systems that handle the repetitive stuff so your team doesn't have to.
Scale without hiring

Own your tech
No templates, no lock-in. You get custom-built software that you own completely.
A small studio with a fleet of AI agents.
We run a handful of AI agents alongside a small human team. That is how two people ship like twenty. You get the throughput of a larger shop at the price of a studio.

Common questions
Everything you need to know about working with us.
Projects range from $5,000 to $25,000+, depending on scope. A focused MVP might be $5K-$10K. A full platform with AI agents, integrations, and automation workflows can be $15K-$25K+. We provide a fixed quote before starting. No surprises.
We don't just use AI for autocomplete. We run multiple autonomous AI agent instances in parallel, each one implementing features, fixing bugs, writing tests, or researching solutions. Think of it like a senior engineering team managing 3-8 AI developers simultaneously. This is how the most advanced AI companies build their own products, and it's how we build yours.
Most platforms ship in 4-8 weeks from kickoff to production. Simple MVPs can be ready in 2-3 weeks. Because we run parallel AI agents on every project, we compress months of traditional development into weeks. It's not a shortcut. It's a fundamentally different way to build software.
Yes, 100%. All source code, designs, agent configurations, and IP are yours. We deliver a complete, documented codebase with deployment instructions. No vendor lock-in, no proprietary frameworks, no recurring fees for code we've written.
Yes. This is our specialty. We build custom AI agents for customer support, internal operations, content generation, data processing, and more. We also build the automation infrastructure that lets a small team run operations that used to need a whole department.
Yes. Whether you need AI agents layered into an existing platform, workflow automation to reduce manual ops, or a full rebuild around an AI-native architecture, we have done it. We will assess your current stack and find the fastest path to ship.
