Software that asks an AI service every time
Per use
a fee each time a customer uses it
The bill grows with every customer, and a busy month arrives as a bigger invoice.

How we work
How a project with us goes, and why it costs little to keep running.
Four stages, from a first conversation to software you own. We use AI to build it quickly and carefully. What you receive runs as ordinary software, without an AI fee each time a customer uses it.
- Four stages
- Plan, design, build, hand over.
- You own it
- The source, the access named in your agreement and a guide to running it.
- A predictable running bill
- Mostly hosting, with no AI fee each time someone uses it unless you choose a feature that needs one.
The four stages
From first call to handover.
Plan
- What you do
- Show us the job that eats your week, and tell us what a good result looks like.
- What you see
- A plain description of what the software will do, and what it will leave to your people.
- You receive
- A written plan to agree on before any building starts.
Design
- What you do
- Look at the screens and tell us what feels wrong.
- What you see
- Clickable screens of how it will look and work, before it is built.
- You receive
- A design you have signed off, checked for clarity and for people who use assistive technology.
Build
- What you do
- Try working pieces as they arrive and tell us what you notice.
- What you see
- The real software taking shape, tested before it reaches you.
- You receive
- Working software you have already used.
Hand over
- What you do
- Tell us who on your team will look after it.
- What you see
- It goes live, with a walk-through of how it runs.
- You receive
- The source, the access named in your agreement and a guide to running it. We can keep it running for you if you want.
An example
An immigration points calculator we built.
Canada scores Express Entry applicants against a published points table, and people want to know their score before they pay anyone for advice. We built a free calculator that works it out as they type.
Every score is worked out in the visitor’s own browser, so there is no fee for each score.
Try the Express Entry points calculator- 1
Read the official points tables from the government’s published rules.
- 2
Turned each rule into a calculation: age, education, language scores, work experience and a spouse’s details. Every one is tested.
- 3
Built the form people fill in, with the score updating as they type.
- 4
Made it easy to find in search, and added visit counting that uses no cookies.
- 5
Live. Every score is worked out on the visitor’s own device, so there is no AI fee per use.

Your running bill stays predictable as more customers use it.
What we build
Mostly hosting
with no AI charge each time a customer uses it
AI helps us write the rules while we build. Once it is live, those rules run as ordinary software.
An illustration: $0.05 each time an AI service is asked, against about $25 a month of hosting. Your own numbers will differ; this is arithmetic, not a quote.
Charged per use$2,500/morises with every customer
What we build$25/momostly a monthly hosting bill
Charged per useWhat we build0 to 50,000 uses a month
Where a task genuinely needs judgment, AI handles that part, and only that part. Everything else follows rules you can read, so the cost stays predictable.
Who holds what
AI in our hands while we build. Ordinary software in yours.
We use AI tools to plan, design, write and check the work. None of them comes with what we hand over: you receive a standard web application you own.
While we buildIn our hands
Planning
AI helps us research your field and write the plan.
Design
AI drafts the screens. People judge them.
Building
AI writes code to the written plan, and every part is tested.
Checking
A separate review reads the work before you see it.
What you ownIn yours
The software
Your own web application, with the source and the access named in your agreement.
Your data
Kept in a database with access set for each person.
Where it runs
Mainstream hosting, billed monthly.
Nothing on your side asks an AI service each time a customer uses it, unless you choose a feature that needs one.
The tools, for your developer
We build with Claude, ChatGPT, NotebookLM, Gemini, Stitch, Figma, Claude Code, Codex and Antigravity, and what we hand over runs on Next.js, React, Tailwind, Supabase, Vercel and Railway.
