What we do
What we build. The unglamorous stuff that runs your business: the internal app, the AI that drafts your emails, the automation that means no one has to re-key a customer detail again.
Who we build it for. UK SMBs, typically £500k–£10m turnover, 5–50 people, in sectors from hospitality to publishing to e-commerce.
Why this approach works.We don’t just build software — we operate it. Every product on our products page is a real, running, paying business. We know what “shipped” means because we live it.
Our disciplines
Four capabilities, end-to-end — under one roof.
Software engineering
TypeScript, Next.js, React, Supabase, Postgres — modern, fast, maintainable.
AI engineering
Claude API, prompt engineering, retrieval, AI voice agents, document AI.
Automation engineering
Make.com, n8n, Zapier, custom orchestration — workflows that don't break.
Design & product
Interface design, UX, brand — we don't ship ugly.
How we work
Talk
We listen first, write a one-page brief, agree the shape and the price.
Build
Short iterations, you see progress every week, you steer along the way.
Operate
When it ships, we don't disappear. We run it, monitor it, keep it healthy.
