What we do

AI implementation,
and everything it lives in.

AI automation and custom business tools lead the list. But we're a full studio: the website, the store, the brand, and the AI inside it can all come from the same hands, with the lead engineer's eyes on everything that ships.

AI implementation

01

AI Workflow Audit

We map your current process, identify the repetitive work, and find the highest-return places to apply AI. This is the Handmade AI Blueprint: one hour on video, then a written plan with your top 3 opportunities, real tools, and real costs. Credited toward your build.

  • Workflow mapping
  • Top 3 opportunities
  • Written roadmap
  • Honest advice

Built on ten years of advising small-business owners on design, marketing, and technology.

02

AI Automations & Agents

AI-powered systems for lead response, intake, follow-up, summaries, routing, CRM updates, support, and internal workflows. The flagship is the AI Receptionist & Missed-Call Recovery system: it answers 24/7 in English and Spanish, qualifies the caller, books the appointment, and sends your team a clean summary.

03

Custom Business Tools

Dashboards, portals, quote tools, internal apps, AI assistants, and workflow software for businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets and manual processes. Internal tooling built to save your team real hours and real money. When off-the-shelf software stops being enough, we build the system that fits.

  • Dashboards & portals
  • Quote tools
  • Internal AI apps
  • Full-stack build

Built on shipped products: touchscreen catalogs in retail stores, workload dashboards, member platforms, and internal tools at Apple.

Studio craft, AI-ready by default

The founder's core craft for over a decade, and the reason the AI work holds up: we can build the whole system, not just the automation inside it.

04

Web Design & Development

Custom websites built by a senior engineer: fast, responsive, accessible, and designed to convert. Every site we build can ship with AI intake, chat, lead qualification, and follow-up built in from day one, so your website answers questions and captures leads while you sleep.

  • SEO foundations
  • AI-ready by default
  • Content & CMS
  • Analytics

Built on agency years spent making sites that had to earn their keep, alongside SEO and paid-search specialists.

  • Custom themes
  • Shopify Plus
  • Subscriptions & memberships
  • AI store support

Built on certified Shopify Plus and Magento work for brands like SNOW and Nature Made, plus a three-year storefront partnership with The Monroe Institute.

  • Logo & identity
  • Design systems
  • Product photography

07

MVP & Product Builds

Have a product idea? We design and build MVPs that get it in front of real users fast: customer-facing web apps, Shopify apps, and SaaS starts. The same senior engineering behind our client tools, pointed at the thing you want to sell.

  • MVP in weeks
  • Shopify apps
  • SaaS starts
  • Product design

Built on shipped products: member platforms, retail touchscreen apps, and the AI systems running this very site.

08

Training & Optimization

We help your team understand the system, use it confidently, improve prompts and workflows, and evolve the automation over time. Optional, because everything we build belongs to you either way.

  • Team training
