Everyone has tasks that suck up their time or are a major pain to deal with.

We are building quick-win (2-3 days usually) solutions that get big wins that deal with those pesky problems once and for all.

AI is changing everything

Essential tools for your success.

Win small, win big

Many things we've solved are totally small, but totally not what anyone wants to do -- so they lag, they are put off, but they need to get done.  Great targets.

Replicate success faster

AI powered consumption of data and processing of rules will make you a lean, mean profit generating machine - let's fix what's broken in your process then REALLY amp it up at scale.

Get rid of inefficiencies

Stop wasting time on tasks that are imp

Get more work done with AI

Everything you need to get started.

AI seems like magic

In truth, our team have been innovating on these things for 20+ years.  AI is just making us 10x more efficient : we can literally build in 2 hours what used to take days. No joke.

Take your medicine

Just like a medicine, you probably don't even know how it's going to work, and it may not taste great, but you also know it will make you feel better. 

Picture perfect

If you could paint the perfect picture of your business running exactly as you wanted -- what would that look like, and what is holding you back.

But, we are open to any and all challenges.   If you are struggling with a repetitive task in your work that deals with computers, software, information / data processing, we can probably help.

Frequently asked questions

Here are some common questions about our AI Innovator Program

This program is open to for-profit businesses between $2.0m and $50.0m USD in annual revenues.

A big part of what we are trying to accomplish here is to build up a series of case studies.  

We're looking for weird edge cases that are probably not so easy to get a traditional solution for -- probably you've resorted to spreadsheets and manual efforts to work around things.

Think about these things:

  • Software that export in the wrong formats, so you need to manually massage data
  • Software vendors that don't make data input in their programs or website easy
  • Collecting large amounts of information that needs to be manually coded or entered
  • Repetitive data tasks nobody wants to do
  • Have large ERP / Corporate systems that don't "play well with others" -- you need them to interface or otherwise do things that 3rd party consultants want tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars for
  • Have a software application that needs to be migrated to a new API / toolkit / database / platform
  • Modernization of legacy systems to handle current challenges
  • Software that is not supported by anyone or you have inadequate support
  • Retired employees have left a knowledge gap but you still have their email Inbox


It covers the first $4000 worth of our services.   It will be applied as a credit memo to your first invoice.

We will scope your project out before we start and we will let you know what we think it will actually take to complete from start to finish -- or at least until it is at a minimum viable product (MVP).  From there you can take the source code we produce and if we're within the cost of the grant, no charge. 

If the project is going to take more than the grant covers, that will be disclosed before we both agree to proceed.

1 Software Company Due to unforeseen circumstances, the client lost access to their source code for a Chrome Extension and was stuck. Needed to rebuild the source code (or as close as to it) so that they could resume normal development of their extension. Was able to reverse-engineer the deployed extension from the Chrome Extension store and un-obfuscate into source code they could start working with again.  Saved a total rewrite / modernization from a year-old backup of the code ~ 2 months @ 2 internal devs full time. $ 48,000 2300%
2 Marketing Consulting Firm Needed to convert an Odoo ERP from Enterprise to Community Edition and make it functional for field services. Developed baseline pipeline with Docker to deploy Odoo ERP Community Edition and bring over data. Reusable toolkit to repeat for other clients, re-sell opportunity at ~50% of investment x 10 clients. $ 125,000 525%
3 Blind Installation Company Need to support proprietary business work flows while transitioning from manual / Slack / Spreadsheets to an Odoo ERP. Build custom Odoo modules that implement proprietary workflows and data structures for project management, compliance and management reporting. Implemented MVP app to handle the business requirements.  Avoided 2 months of dev shop efforts.  Improved executive visibility in to operations and project planning status at scale. $ 48,000 500%
4 Strategic Consulting Firm Needed to get proprietary system records converted and loaded to Quick Books Online because the manual efforts take too long and are often forgotten which makes problems. Initially considered a data converter to CSV, but decided as a bonus to automate the extract, convert and upload process since it didn't take much more time. Build a Quick Books Online custom app that converts the raw data into financial journal entries and loads them to the customer's account.  Saves the owner 10h a month, scoping at 12 months of savings. $ 12,000 500%
5 Mobile App Company Needed to refactor mobile app backend API to work with Supabase instead of MongoDB without breaking the bank. Refactored backend API as expected.  Bonuses: seamless data migration, fixed additional previously unknown bugs, tightened authentication security. Avoided two week estimate from dev shop and potential disruptions. $ 12,000 500%
6 Marketing SasS (part 2) After commercializing the backend infrastructure, need a rapid build of a MVP front-end so that the internal team could take over and enhance. Build a SaaS portal with Stripe payments working for subscription management, user authentication by email with verifications, and a basic interface to use the tool. Estimated 2 weeks of 3 internal FTEs to build this. $ 18,000 350%
7 Software Company Have a 300 user Chrome Extension that needed modernization for Google, but didn't want to spend a lot to upkeep the app, and wanted to keep helping the users. Modernized app with AI agentic coding tools. Avoid 3 days of coding cost. $ 3,600 260%
8 Marketing SaaS (part 1) Internal prototype of new digital presence service needed to be cleaned up and made ready to work in a live scenario and they were spinning their tires getting it to work with manual efforts. Commercialized the backend of this data  platform with security hardening and capability to scale and ensure vendor agnostic deployment capability. Ended a month of circling the drain internally trying to sort out the problems, with no end in sight.  We'll call it a month of saved internal team of 3 @ .5 FTE.  Made it possible to build an MVP User Interface and go live. $ 18,000 50%
