Build & Implementation

We build the AI. Then we operate it.

Custom agents. Document pipelines. Full applications. We start from the workflow, prove the risky parts against real examples, and deploy gradually into the tools your team already uses.

Operations and engineering

Production-grade

Live products, MVPs, and in-development systems. Clear evidence, clear limits.

What we build

Production-grade AI, end to end.

Custom AI agents & assistants

Claude / GPT / local LLM-powered agents wired into your business systems. Real tool use. Real guardrails.

Document processing pipelines

Two-pass extraction, confidence scoring, queue-backed async processing. The architecture behind BenefitShield.

Full-stack applications

React + TypeScript front ends, Fastify or Next.js back ends, PostgreSQL persistence. The stack powering BoxBuddy and AEC Benefits in production.

Containerized deployment

Docker on a VPS or cloud target you control. Traefik for SSL. Self-hosted or managed — your call.

Automation engines

Cron-driven workflows, CASL-compliant email outreach, webhook-triggered jobs. Running live inside AEC Benefits 24/7.

Privacy-first architectures

Local-first AI where data must stay on-device. Tenant-scoped storage where it must stay separated. The model behind TalkAbout.

Before production

Proof comes before authority.

If an AI workflow will touch customers, money, compliance, or important records, we do not jump straight to full automation. We build a controlled proof, test it against real examples, and decide how much authority it has earned.

We build on your existing systems wherever practical.

01

Working proof

02

Historical testing

03

Shadow mode beside the current process

04

Human-approved live use

05

Limited automation

06

Expanded automation

07

Monitoring and error reporting

08

Team training and handoff

Shadow mode means the new workflow runs beside the existing process so the results can be compared before it is given authority.

Proof in production

Every capability above is grounded in systems we have built, tested, or operated.

iOS + web with Capacitor 7, RevenueCat-backed subscriptions, 5 containerized services. Free tier + $19.99/yr Pro.
Cron-driven CRM, 50+ SEO articles in production, and a Claude-assisted content pipeline supporting a real operating business.
BenefitShield V3
Two-pass LLM extraction with confidence scoring, 28/28 jobs in benchmark
Huddle
Multi-source social aggregation with graceful API fallbacks, Google OAuth, digest emails
TalkAbout
Tauri + Rust desktop app with local LLM inference via Ollama

Common questions

Before you build.

How much does a build cost?

Build & Implementation starts at $3,000 CAD, scoped after a Strategy Day identifies the highest-value opportunity. Custom agents, document pipelines, and full applications are quoted based on what's actually being built, not a flat rate.

What do you actually build?

Custom AI agents, document processing pipelines, full-stack web applications, containerized automation engines, and privacy-first architectures — the same categories of systems running inside our own products like BoxBuddy, AEC Benefits, and BenefitShield.

Do you build a proof before going live?

Yes, for anything touching customers, money, compliance, or important records. We build a controlled proof, test it against real examples, and only expand its authority once it's earned that through shadow mode and human-approved live use.

What tech stack do you build on?

React and TypeScript front ends, Fastify or Next.js back ends, PostgreSQL, and Docker on a VPS or cloud target you control. The same stack powering BoxBuddy and AEC Benefits in production today.

How long does a build take?

It depends entirely on scope — a single automation can ship in weeks, a full application takes longer. We define stages up front (working proof, shadow mode, limited automation, expanded automation) so you always know where a build actually stands.

30-minute strategy session

For real businesses with real problems.

Not for tire kickers. Not for tech tourists looking for a demo. For business owners who already know something in their operation is broken — and want to know if AI can fix it.

This isn't about replacing people.It's about killing the bad business processes your team hates as much as you do — the manual work, the missed calls, the after-hours admin.

Strategy sessions are free. Strategy Days are $1,000, capped at 4 people per session. Larger teams or multi-location workshops by special arrangement — ask when you book.
