Fractional AI Software Department
Production software, shipped by a small team that thinks like founders.
A small core team, an AI-leveraged stack, and a network of specialists. We embed with your company and ship production software — without the four-month hiring cycle.
15 minutes. We look at what you need and tell you whether we’re the right fit.
What we build
Custom web applications
Production-grade software built on your data, with the architecture and rigor of a long-lived product.
AI integration
AI woven into the product where it actually creates leverage — not bolted on for the press release.
Data platforms
Pipelines, dashboards, and the back-end infrastructure that turns operational data into product features.
What we’ve shipped
Two clients, in their own words. More on the case studies page.
How we work
Honest about the size of the core team. Confident about the breadth of the network.
A small core team
Austin (technical founder, full-stack) and a designer. We don’t pretend to be bigger than we are. You always know who’s building your software.
AI throughout
AI in research, prototyping, code review, documentation, and ops. The compounding leverage is the difference between a small team and a small team that ships like a big one.
A network when we need it
Specialists — security, data engineering, brand, infrastructure, mobile — pulled in for the work that needs them. We don’t bill for capacity we’re not using.

Frequently asked questions
Project-based for defined scopes; monthly retainer for ongoing partnerships. Most clients start with a 4-week pilot — a fixed deliverable, fixed fee, decide-at-the-end.
