Custom AI App Development
Software built around the problem you actually have.
When off-the-shelf software doesn't fit, we design and build a focused AI application for the job, from the first sketch to a tool your team uses every day.
Off-the-shelf software almost fits
Most business software is built for everyone. The part that makes your business different is usually the part it doesn't handle.
The workaround is the system
The real process lives in a spreadsheet, a shared inbox and one person's memory, because the software can't do it your way.
Paying for features you don't use
A platform with a hundred features, and your team still copies data out of it to get the one thing they need.
Big builds, big risk
The agency proposal runs nine months before anyone sees working software, and the scope keeps growing.
Example: estimates at a home services company
Imagine a home services company in Northern Colorado. Technicians finish a site visit, text a few photos and scribble notes, and someone in the office turns that into an estimate a day or two later. Their pricing has too many local quirks for any estimating software they've tried, so it lives in a spreadsheet only two people really understand.
We'd build one small app for that one job.
- At the end of a visit, the technician records a short voice note and takes photos on their phone.
- AI turns the note into a draft estimate using the company's own price book and past jobs, and flags anything unusual.
- The office reviews the draft, adjusts it and sends it to the customer. Nothing goes out without that review.
- Every visit, photo and estimate is saved and searchable, so the pricing knowledge doesn't live with two people anymore.
Same technicians, same pricing, and estimates that go out the same day.
What we build
Small, focused applications that do one job well, and can grow once they've proved themselves.
Private search and assistants
Answers from your own documents
- Search across files by meaning, not just keywords
- Assistants that answer from your procedures and records
- Answers that point back to the source
Workflow tools
One app for one process
- Intake, estimating, scheduling and review tools
- AI drafts, a person approves
- Built around how your team already works
Products and features
For your customers
- AI features added to software you already sell
- Customer portals and self-service tools
- Production-ready SaaS applications
Where it runs
Cloud or on your own hardware
- Modern cloud infrastructure that scales with you
- Or local, on-premises AI when data can't leave the building
- Security and access controls from day one
How an engagement works
Scope
We map the one problem worth solving, who uses the app and what "done" looks like.
Prototype
We build a small working version on your real data, so you can try it before committing to the full build.
Build
We build the production app in short steps, with your team testing along the way.
Launch
We roll it out, train your staff and hand over the code and documentation.
Every engagement has a fixed scope and a fixed price, agreed before we start. You can stop after any step.
Custom builds are quoted after a short discovery call. Projects typically start at $25,000.
Your people stay in charge
The app does the repetitive part. Your team keeps the judgment and the customer relationships.
- A person approves the result. Nothing the AI drafts reaches a customer without someone on your team signing off.
- You own it. The code, the data and the documentation are yours.
- Small on purpose. We build the smallest version that solves the problem, then grow it based on what your team actually uses.
- Built to be maintained. Standard tools and clear documentation, so another developer could pick it up.
