We build, deploy, and maintain custom AI systems for small businesses, founder-led brands, and agencies.

Featured / AI Search Visibility

When buyers ask AI, does your brand come up?

When someone asks ChatGPT or Gemini about your brand, you don't control what comes back. These engines get brands wrong all the time. They confuse you with a competitor, invent details that were never real, or leave you out of the answer completely. Buyers trust what the AI tells them. We find out what the engines actually say about you, fix what's wrong, and re-measure at 30 days so you can see it move.

What we build.

Custom AI engineering for businesses that need it built right, not demoed well. Every engagement ships in your infrastructure with documentation and team training.

AI Automations

Background workflows that run quietly and produce structured output. Lead-gen pipelines, document generation, intent classification, content drafting, and meeting-to-action wiring.

AI Tooling Setup

Custom GPTs, tool and data integrations, agents, prompt libraries, and team training. For teams that already have AI tools but aren't getting full value out of them.

Knowledge Systems

Your scattered docs, Slack, and drives turned into one searchable brain your team can just ask. Permission-aware, so the right people see the right answers, and nothing leaks.

Intelligence Systems & Custom Software

Multi-source monitoring with full dashboards. Governance trackers, competitive intelligence, custom agentic systems with backend integration, and bespoke web applications built around your specific workflow.

AI Security & Governance

Security assessments of existing AI deployments. Vendor and contract audits. Internal AI usage policies. Compliance mapping for the regulations that apply to your industry.

What every engagement includes.

Deliverable

A working dashboard you actually use

No command-line handoffs. Every build ships with a web interface a non-technical user can operate.

Deliverable

Code in your infrastructure

Your AWS, GCP, or Azure account. Infrastructure-as-code with Terraform or docker-compose. You can redeploy, modify, or decommission without us.

Deliverable

Walkthrough video, runbook, and live training

5 to 10 minute Loom walkthrough, one-page runbook covering operation and troubleshooting, plus a 60 to 90 minute live training session for the team using the system.

Deliverable

30 days of post-handoff support

We stay on call for 30 days after handoff to fix anything that breaks and answer team questions. After that, you can stay on with a retainer or take it from here. Either way, you keep everything.

Every build is shipped with security-first methodology grounded in NIST AI RMF and the OWASP LLM Top 10.

What we believe

Built for production. Owned by you.

Code lives in your repository. Deploys to your infrastructure. Documented and handed off so your team can operate it. Most clients keep us on as their ongoing AI department; the work is yours either way.
