29 apps live on the App Store
Overview

The gap in AI right now isn't ideas - it's the distance between a demo that wows in a meeting and a feature that's reliable, affordable, and safe in front of real customers. We close that gap. We start from the actual workflow, ground the model in your data, and engineer for accuracy, latency, and cost with real evaluation - so what ships keeps working long after the applause stops.

Who it's for
Teams with an AI prototype that won't survive real users
Businesses sitting on data an assistant could unlock
Anyone burned by unpredictable AI cost or accuracy
The problem

Most AI demos never reach production.

It's easy to wire up an impressive prototype and hard to make it reliable, affordable, and safe in front of real customers. Accuracy drifts, latency creeps, and costs surprise everyone.

Demos that impress but never ship
Unpredictable accuracy, latency, and cost
No guardrails or evaluation before customers see it
Our approach

How we deliver.

01

Start from the workflow

We scope the actual job to be done and where AI genuinely helps - not where it just looks impressive.

02

Right model & retrieval

We pick the model and grounding strategy per use case, balancing quality, latency, and cost.

03

Evaluate & guard

Evaluation sets and guardrails so behaviour holds up before - and after - it reaches customers.

04

Ship to production

Monitoring, fallbacks, and cost controls so it runs reliably at scale.

What's included

Everything to launch and grow.

Use-case scoping & feasibility
LLM & RAG implementation
Evaluation harness
Safety guardrails
Latency & cost optimization
Secure data integration
Monitoring & observability
Production deployment

Guides

Read before you build.

AI

Your app depends on a model with a retirement date

Every model you build on has a published expiry. Eight Claude model IDs stopped serving requests in the last year - here's how to make the swap routine.

AI

What the EU AI Act actually requires on 2 August 2026

On 2 August the AI Act's transparency rules and its fines both switch on. The high-risk rules didn't - they slipped to 2027. Here's what really applies.

AI

The unit economics of an AI feature

Token prices fell ~50x a year, yet AI bills keep climbing. The thing that costs money isn't a token - it's a task, and agentic tasks use 1000x more of them.

Strategy

Fine-tune, RAG, or prompt? Reach for them in this order

Prompting changes instructions, RAG changes knowledge, fine-tuning changes behavior. Prompt first, add RAG for your data, fine-tune only when both fall short.

Engineering

Getting reliable JSON out of an LLM (stop parsing hope)

Prompting for JSON fails 5-10% of the time; schema-enforced structured output is ~100% valid via constrained decoding. Use it, and still validate in code.

Strategy

AI-native vs AI-as-a-feature: which are you building?

Remove the AI - does your product still work? If yes it's a feature; if the business collapses it's AI-native. That gap decides defensibility, not the model.

Engineering

Prompt injection is the new SQL injection - but unsolved

Prompt injection is OWASP's #1 LLM risk. It shares SQL injection's root cause - data becoming commands - but has no parameterized-query fix. So you contain it.

Engineering

You can't ship AI you can't evaluate

AI features are non-deterministic, so 'it looked right in the demo' isn't a test. Evals - a dataset plus graders, run in CI and prod - are how you ship them.

AI

Repository intelligence: your codebase is the context now

AI coding moved from autocompleting lines to understanding whole repos - and running several agents on one task. Here's what changes for how teams build.

AI

The delegation gap: why AI does most of the work but runs little of it

Developers use AI in ~60% of their work but can fully delegate only 0-20% of tasks. That gap - not the hype - is what actually shapes AI-era engineering.

AI

One agent isn't enough: when to use multiple AI agents

Multi-agent systems beat a single model by ~90% on the right tasks - and burn 15x the tokens on the wrong ones. Here's how to tell which is which.

Engineering

The hidden bill of AI-generated code

AI assistants ship code fast - and technical debt and leaked secrets behind it. Winning teams treat the assistant as an untrusted contributor, not a colleague.

AI

You don't need a frontier model: the case for small language models

Most teams pay frontier prices for work a small model does just as well. The 2026 move is right-sizing - SLM-first, escalate only the hard part.

AI

Context engineering: the real skill behind AI agents that work

The teams whose AI features work aren't using better models - they're feeding them better context. Why context quality, not size, is the 2026 bottleneck.

AI

Coding agents in 2026: what SWE-bench scores really mean

Coding agents went from 2% to ~94% on SWE-bench in three years. Here's what those scores really mean - and where the agents still need a human.

AI

How AI agents remember: memory systems in 2026

How AI agents remember in 2026: the four memory types, the tiered architecture that beats a growing transcript, and when your agent actually needs memory.

AI

Is RAG dead? RAG vs long context in 2026

What RAG is really for in 2026, when a long-context window beats it, and why naive RAG died while agentic retrieval is thriving.

AI

What an AI agent actually is (and what makes one reliable)

A plain-English anatomy of an AI agent: model, tools, memory, context, and the loop, plus applications and why most agents fail on state, not smarts.

AI

Does your business actually need AI? A 2026 reality check

A neutral guide to when AI is worth it for your business in 2026: why most projects fail, where AI genuinely helps, and how to tell the difference.

AI

Agentic AI's real challenge isn't the demo - it's production

Gartner says 40% of enterprise apps will embed AI agents by end of 2026, yet fewer than 1 in 4 teams have scaled one to production. Here's why, and how to close the gap.

AI

On-device AI is quietly winning - and it's a gift for privacy

Over 2 billion phones now run local language models, NPUs are standard, and small models are 10–30× cheaper to run. Why the future of AI is increasingly local.

Engineering

AI coding agents changed how we build - not whether craft matters

Command-line coding agents are shipping real engineering work 30% faster. What that actually changes for a software studio, and what it doesn't.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Which AI models do you build on?

We use the most capable current models and choose per use case for quality, latency, and cost - and we keep the design flexible so you can switch as the landscape moves.

Can you work with our existing data?

Yes. We integrate your data securely with retrieval and strict access controls, so the model only sees what it should.

How do you keep it accurate?

We build an evaluation set up front and measure every change against it, so quality is tracked, not assumed.

Is our data used to train models?

No. We configure providers so your data isn't used for training, and we keep sensitive data on paths you control.
