Services
Five kinds of work we take on: AI for your team first, and the code work underneath it second.
AI strategy for your team
Every company works differently, so we start with a fixed-fee assessment: we spend time with your team, see what you work with today, and write up where AI would help you get more out of your processes. We scope the work that follows once we have seen yours.
- Where AI helps in your workflow, and where it does not
- Which jobs to hand to an assistant or an agent first
- Model and tool choices that fit your budget and data
- A written plan
AI agents and assistants, set up safely
We set up agents for your team the way we run our own: they act on your behalf without seeing your passwords or API keys, sensitive actions pause for your approval, and the rules they follow are written down and shared.
- A credential gateway: agents call GitHub, email and calendar without holding the keys
- Allow, ask-first and block policies per action, with every call logged
- Sensitive actions, such as outbound mail or deletions, wait for a human
- One shared set of team rules every agent follows, whatever model runs it
- Skills: packaged, reusable instructions an agent loads for a task
- Independent review before an agent's code change counts as done
- Workflow automation and LLM features inside your own product
Your own AI assistant
For one person rather than a team. We run an assistant every day for scheduling, messaging, research and invoicing, and we set the same thing up on your hardware, connected to the apps you already use.
How the AI assistant setup worksRails upgrades
Running an older Rails? We have upgraded dozens of applications across major versions, Rails 3 through 8. It starts with a fixed-fee assessment of your codebase, then an upgrade roadmap broken into phases.
- Rails version upgrades, 3.x to 8.x
- Ruby version upgrades
- Security and dependency audits
- Performance assessment and optimization
- Rails-to-Elixir migration assessment
- Technical debt reduction roadmap
Architecture and development
New builds or legacy rescue, in Rails or Phoenix, with readable code and no part of the system that only one person can maintain.
- System design and architecture
- Web applications and APIs in Rails or Phoenix
- Database design and optimization
- Performance tuning
- Legacy system rescue
- Engineering advisory and code quality
How an engagement works
- Assessment
- A fixed-fee look at how your team works today. For AI, that is where agents and assistants would help and what has to stay with a person; for a Rails codebase, an audit with a report and upgrade roadmap. You know what you are dealing with before committing to anything.
- Implementation
- Scoped from the assessment and delivered in phases with clear milestones. Each phase is priced before it starts.
- Retainer
- Ongoing maintenance: adding agent capabilities, adjusting to model changes, and keeping Rails current before end-of-life dates.
