Engineers who learn your business, then automate the busywork.

We sit with your team for a week, map where the hours go, and ship software that removes that work: internal tools, AI agents that do the copy-paste, and the code that connects your tools. For SMBs in the EU and US.

Four things we build. Each starts with a week inside your business.

Most engagements start with automation and grow into one of the others.

AI agents & automation

Where most start

Agents that read emails, PDFs and forms, fill the system you already use, and hand the unclear cases to a person.

  • Mapped workflow with hours per step
  • An agent doing the routine cases, with a person checking the rest
  • Error log you can read without us

Custom software & internal tools

The tool your team keeps asking for, built in the stack you already run.

  • Something your team can use every week
  • Changes that go live without breaking what already works

Data & reporting

One place where the numbers agree, fed automatically.

  • Your tools feeding one set of numbers, automatically
  • Reports that replace the Friday spreadsheet

Fractional CTO & audit

A senior engineer on your side of the table when you buy, hire or rebuild.

  • Written audit with a fix order
  • Vendor and hiring calls you can delegate

What the busywork costs you now.

How we treat your systems

  1. Fix the cause, not the symptom

    When something breaks, we find out why and write it down. You get a written explanation.

  2. Work in the stack you have

    No rewrite to suit our taste. New pieces fit what your team can already run.

  3. Run what we build

    Our own intake runs on Handpick, a product we built and operate.

Four questions, then you pick a call slot. The form runs on Handpick, our own lead-qualification product, so this is also a short demo of how we build.
