Hey! We'd love to build something to make your life easier. What do you need?
Automated assistant. Ideas discussed here are illustrative only, not an offer, quote, or commitment. Nothing is agreed until it is in writing. Messages are saved so a person can read them and follow up. You are not signed up to anything.
You'll work directly with the founders
No middle men. No sales team. No account managers. The people you talk to are the people writing the code.

LinkedInWhat we have built
Receiving, without the clipboard
We saved a manufacturing client dozens of hours a week on manual data entry. Instead of keying in every shipment by hand, they scan the packing slip and it is done in seconds. Short counts and missing material certificates get held for a person to look at.

Billed for the work, the day it happened
We built invoicing and payments into a field service platform. Crews capture proof of the work and the parts they used on site, and the invoice writes itself from that record, goes out without anyone chasing it, and takes payment by card. The owner sees what was collected without building a report.

Every client conversation, actually searchable
We gave a client one place to find what was said and agreed. Emails and call transcripts get pulled in automatically and turned into structured records, so renewal dates, decision makers and open blockers are searchable and sortable instead of buried in an inbox.

Applicants screened before anyone reads one
We cut a client's first-round screening from days to minutes. A text message chatbot asks every applicant the questions that actually decide the hire, scores the answers, and books the strong ones straight onto the hiring manager's calendar.
Hi Marcus, quick 3 questions about the line cook role. Do you have open availability weekends?
Yes, weekends are fine. I can also do doubles.
How many years on a high volume line?
Four. Two of those at a 200 cover place.

Resumes checked against the real record
We stopped a client from burning interview slots on resumes that did not hold up. Every applicant's public LinkedIn history gets checked against what they wrote, date gaps and title mismatches get flagged, and the genuinely strong matches rise to the top.
