We build AI agents and custom software that lets you work how you want to.
AI agents and custom software that used to take months to build can now ship in a week-long sprint — or a single day. We embed our engineers in your team and build the software that improves how you work: AI agents, automations, internal tools, and new products. You own every line of code, no strings attached.
Not sure yet? Start with a one-day workshop — $3,500, and you'll leave with a working AI agent.
01/The shift
English is the new programming language.
You've probably felt it already: software that used to need a dev team and a six-month roadmap now takes a focused week. The cost of writing code has collapsed. The hard part isn't whether something can be built anymore — it's knowing where to start.
That's where we come in. You bring the ideas and the knowledge of your business; we bring a decade of deploying code into production. In a single day, we can build something that solves a real business problem. In a week, we can ship several things into production that change how your team works.
02/Where to start
Build a working agent in a one-day workshop, ship a whole system in a week-long sprint, or embed a forward-deployed engineer on your team.

03/What we build
If it's software, we can build it.
Autonomous Agents
Multi-step agents that handle research, analysis, and execution on their own. Built on Claude, GPT, and open-source models, orchestrated to your workflows.
Internal Tools & Automation
The unglamorous software that saves your team hours every day — integrations, pipelines, and workflows that eliminate manual handoffs.
Data & Insights Platforms
Dashboards and pipelines that turn raw data into decisions. Real-time analytics, custom ETL, and AI-powered summarization — signal, not noise.
AI Features & New Products
Intelligence in your existing product — search, recommendations, generation — or a brand-new MVP from a blank repo. Production-grade, ready for real users.
A sprint works best when you can make decisions fast and want working software at the end, not a strategy deck. If you need a 40-page spec and months of stakeholder alignment first, we're probably not your team.
See how we think.
We write about shipping AI systems on real timelines — what actually works, what's hype, and what we'd do differently. The same thinking you'd get in the room.
Forward-Deployed Engineering: Why the Best Software Gets Built With You, Not For You
Most companies have quietly accepted that every idea becomes a meeting, then a ticket, then a three-week wait. It doesn't have to. Here's what a forward-deployed engineer actually is, and why proximity to the problem beats a perfect spec every time.
AI Agent Orchestration Frameworks in 2026: What Actually Matters
The agent orchestration space has gone from experiment to production infrastructure. Here's what separates the major frameworks — and how to choose.
Catalyst & Code Is Live
We built a company around a simple idea: most businesses know AI can help them, but they don't have the engineering team to make it happen. Today, we're open for business.
