Custom Software Development, Faster and Cheaper with AI

Your project will cost less and arrive sooner than the same project would have two years ago. Not because we cut corners or put junior people on it, but because we changed how the code gets written.

AI writes the software now. Directing it is the job, and that is what you are hiring our developers to do:

  • They set the direction. AI will build the wrong thing perfectly. We decide what gets built and in what order, starting from what your business actually needs.
  • They pick the technical approach. This is where the money is, and it is why you want developers rather than business consultants. We keep about 1.5 billion rows fast on ordinary SQL Server where the generic recommendation would have been NoSQL, because the right answer depends on how your data is used, not how much of it there is. Here is how that works.
  • They apply common sense. AI is short-sighted: it sees the task in front of it, not the system around it. Nobody here is just typing prompts, so when the AI goes off the rails someone notices and steers it back.

There is a second effect that matters more than the discount. Plenty of useful software never got built because the benefit was real but too small to justify the cost. That calculation has moved. A tool that saves your team a few hours a week, or a rough edge in your process everyone has learned to live with, is now worth building properly rather than putting up with.

The process itself has not changed. You get working software in the first few weeks and again every couple of weeks, so you can change your mind while changing it is still cheap. A US development lead runs your project and is the person you talk to. Founded in 1998 by John Taves and Mike Hayner, our US leads work alongside our developers in Ukraine.

One thing has been added. Nothing goes out without being tested against an AI attacker first, because the same tools that write code are now cheap enough for anyone to point at your site. Here is why that matters.
