Services / AI & Automation
Custom AI Tools & MVP Development
A working first version of your product, tool, or AI agent — scoped small enough to actually ship.
Sound familiar?
- You've sketched the idea on a napkin, in Notion, or in your head a dozen times already
- You need something real to show an investor, a client, or your own team — not another slide deck
- A bigger agency quoted six months and a number that made you close the laptop
- You'd rather learn from real users in a few weeks than keep guessing for six months
For an idea that needs a real, working version before it needs a full product team — an internal tool, a small AI-powered app or agent, a SaaS proof of concept to put in front of a client or investor. Scoped down to the smallest version that actually proves the idea, built on a standard production stack, not a wishlist of every feature at once. It's the difference between an idea that stays a slide deck forever and one a real person can click through, break, and tell you honestly what's wrong with it — in weeks, not the better part of a year.
What's included
- 01A scoping call that cuts the idea down to what a first version actually needs
- 02A working build on a standard production stack (React, Node.js, or your own) — not a mockup
- 03Core AI functionality — a model, an agent, a recommendation engine — wired in from day one
- 04A live, shareable link from early on, not just a single reveal at the very end
- 05Built to be extended — a real foundation, not disposable throwaway code
- 06A clear handover: full source code, docs, and what a next version would add
Where this fits
For the business side of things, not the book itself — this is scoped around your workflows, your tools, and your customer-facing systems, and runs independently of any writing or publishing project you have with us.
Ownership & confidentiality
- You keep 100% of copyright and royalties on everything delivered.
- An NDA is signed before any of your material is shared, including on the intro call.

What if the scope grows once we actually start building?▸
It usually does a little, which is normal — the scoping call locks a first version deliberately small so a growing wishlist becomes a clearly-priced next phase instead of quietly ballooning the one you already agreed to.
Do we own the code and any AI models or prompts it uses?▸
Yes, fully — the handover includes source code and documentation, and there's no license-back clause keeping any part of it tied to us.
How is this different from a full product build?▸
This proves one core idea works, on real users, as fast as honestly possible. A full product build is everything that comes after you know it's worth building — a different, bigger engagement, scoped separately once you actually need it.
Can you keep building after the first version ships?▸
Yes — a lot of clients treat the first version as the start of an ongoing relationship rather than a one-off. Nothing about that is assumed or required, though; it's your call once you've seen what shipped.
I'm not technical at all — can I still direct this?▸
Yes — the scoping call is built for exactly that. You bring the idea and the judgment calls about what matters; we translate that into what actually gets built.
How an automation project actually runs
Four steps, the same for every service in this category — so you know exactly what happens between the free call and the day it goes live.
Discovery call
A free call to learn your actual workflow, tools, and what's really costing you the most time — not a generic intake questionnaire.
Scoped proposal, fixed price
A written proposal with a defined scope and a fixed price, before anything gets built. No hourly meter running quietly in the background.
Build, connect, and test
Built against that scope and run alongside your current process first, so a problem surfaces in testing — never in front of a customer.
Launch, handover & support
A real handover once it's live — documentation, a walkthrough, and a defined support window — not a disappearing act the day it ships.
