The team that builds our own products builds your automations, so you get working software rather than a report.
Swift, Flutter, Next.js, Supabase, Azure OpenAI and Microsoft 365: the same stack behind Tiny Tot Tracker, Anchor Wellbeing and Hourglass.
Every project ends with something your team uses: an assistant, an automated workflow or an app, tested with your own data.
Permissions, Conditional Access and UK GDPR are part of every build, so AI only sees the data it should.
Most small businesses know AI could help but aren't sure where to begin. We look at the repetitive work in your week, pick the task worth automating first and build a tool that does it.

Start with one task your team repeats every week. That's usually where AI saves the most time.
