Your next chapter / 01

Give your team an unfair advantage.

An assistant is useful. An assistant connected to your tools, your context, and your workflows can change how the work gets done.

  1. 01Understand the task
  2. 02Connect your systems
  3. 03Build the right controls
01

AI that does the work.

Agents that connect to your tools, understand the context, and move work forward—with people in control.

02

Data you can act on.

Scattered records become connected intelligence. Searchable, explainable, and useful to the people making decisions.

03

Less friction. More flow.

Thoughtful automation for intake, follow-up, and the work between systems. Built around how your team operates.

04

Software with staying power.

Fast websites, custom applications, and dependable infrastructure. From the first sketch to the system you rely on.

03 / Engineering depth

Complex systems.
Shipped and running.

The hard part is rarely the demo. It is the integration, the data, and the rules that keep a system trustworthy in production. A few problems we have solved, in our clients’ products and our own.

  1. An AI layer inside someone else’s CRM

    One role-scoped MCP service gives Claude, ChatGPT, and other compatible clients authorized CRM operations, backed by a Firestore and BigQuery warehouse for model scoring.

    Follow Up Ace
  2. Messy public records, one reliable graph

    Construction records from all 254 Texas counties, with company names resolved across their variants without merging unrelated businesses.

    Zabalist
  3. Forty-seven languages without duplicate content

    Native URLs in every market, and one indexing rule that feeds robots, hreflang, and the sitemap, so a locale is indexed only once it is truly translated.

    Tauvio
  4. Moving a business-critical ERP

    An established Laravel ERP moved onto client-owned AWS with a repeatable release workflow, plus a Next.js storefront that keeps legacy URLs working.

  5. Public data people actually use

    A city guide with six interactive tools, including live USGS gauge readings for Barton Creek and 48 Austin ZIP codes compared side by side.

    Austin Texas Things
  6. Software that fits the team

    The staff keep running the music calendar from a Google Sheet; the site turns it into three calendar views and never invents a show.

    Evangeline Café
The art of possibility

A little wonder.
A lot of intention.

We believe software can be useful and extraordinary. Turn this sculpture. Unfold its geometry. Make a frame your own.

Can you connect AI to the tools we already use?

Yes. We build integrations and MCP servers that let assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT work with your existing systems under role-scoped permissions. Follow Up Ace, for example, gives compatible AI clients authorized access to Follow Up Boss contacts, tasks, and stages.

MCP server development
How does a project start?

Bring one example of the work you want to improve: the tools involved, where it gets stuck, and what a better result would look like. We then define the first useful release, its deliverables, and review points in a proposal before implementation begins.
