We build AI automations, custom agents, and workflow solutions that remove repetitive work and create real leverage — plus software prototypes when you need to ship something new.
Built personally by Chris Short — Anthropic-first stack, no outsourcing, direct access from day one.
Anthropic-first. We build deepest with Claude — and pull in the best tools from Google and OpenAI where they earn it.
You spend hours on tasks that feel like they should run themselves
You're using AI tools ad hoc but nothing is connected or consistent
You want a custom AI solution but don't know where to start or who to trust
Your team has AI curiosity but no structure — different tools, no shared process
You have a software idea but need a working prototype fast, not a 12-month project
You want to move faster than your competitors without hiring a full dev team
75% AI engineering — automations, agents, integrations, and skills. 25% custom software when you need something that doesn't exist yet.
Map your current workflows, identify high-leverage automation targets, and build AI-powered systems that run the repetitive work so your team can focus on what matters.
Custom AI agents built on Claude API that go beyond chatbots — agents that take action, use tools, access your data, and complete multi-step tasks autonomously.
Connect the AI tools you already use — or identify the right ones — and wire them into a cohesive system. No more siloed tools with no shared workflow.
Give your team the skills to use AI effectively — not a generic ChatGPT workshop, but hands-on training built around your actual tools and workflows.
When the right solution doesn't exist off the shelf, we build it. Working MVPs in 2–4 weeks using Next.js, Supabase, and AI-native architecture — built personally, not outsourced.
Beyond the prototype — full-stack production applications with sophisticated AI integration, scalable architecture, and ongoing support when you're ready to grow.
Every engagement starts with a workflow audit — we map where your team spends time, identify the highest-leverage automation targets, and scope a build plan with fixed deliverables and clear timelines.
We build Anthropic-first: Claude Code for agentic orchestration, Claude API for AI integrations and agent logic, and the best tools from the broader ecosystem — Perplexity, Codex, Cursor, Lovable — where they genuinely accelerate the work.
You work directly with Chris Short. No account managers, no junior handoffs. What we build for you belongs entirely to you — full IP transfer on every engagement.
Fixed-price engagements. Written scope before work begins. No surprises.
Best for: small teams with clear bottlenecks
Best for: businesses ready to go deep
Best for: software ideas that need to ship

AI engineering means building practical systems that put AI to work inside your business — automations, agents, and integrations that remove repetitive work, speed up decision-making, and create real competitive leverage. Not theory. Working systems.
High-value targets include: client intake and qualification, proposal drafting, email triage, internal Q&A and knowledge systems, report generation, social content pipelines, invoice processing, and customer support deflection. Every business has a different bottleneck — we start by identifying yours.
Most workflow automations deliver in 2–6 weeks. Custom AI agent development runs 4–8 weeks. Software MVPs are typically in production within 2–4 weeks. We scope everything in writing before starting.
Yes — it's about 25% of what we do. We specialize in AI-native applications where AI capabilities are core to the product. MVPs start at $15,000, delivered in 2–4 weeks. Built personally by Chris Short — not outsourced.
We build with AI daily — Claude Code, Claude API, and the Anthropic ecosystem are how we run our own business. We're small business-focused: no enterprise overhead, no account managers, direct access from day one.
Whether you need AI automation, a custom agent, or a working prototype — start with a free 30-minute call. We'll scope it, price it, and tell you exactly what's possible.
