You don't log in.
You talk to your site.

We design, build, and ship custom software (AI tools, internal systems, websites, and mobile apps) and get you from brief to something in people's hands in weeks. Our flagship is GroundFloor: a managed environment and a dedicated AI agent that builds, updates, and watches your site for you.

The studio

Brief to market in weeks

We're a product studio for businesses and non-profits, from a single tool to a full launch. We build AI tools, internal systems, websites, and mobile apps, set up to get you moving without a standing engineering team, with a clean, documented handover.

For clients who want the site to keep moving after launch, not freeze the day we leave, that's what GroundFloor is for.

GroundFloor

A webmaster you talk to.

You never log into a CMS. You talk to your agent: "swap the hero headline," "add a careers page," "why did the contact form stop emailing me?" The agent edits your site in an isolated workspace, builds a preview, runs safety checks, and either ships the change within policy or sends you a one-click approval.

Because it's wired to your live site, it works both ways: it tells you when leads come in, and it acts as first responder if something breaks.

How a change flows

Conversation in, safe deploy out

01

You ask

"Add a testimonial section to the homepage." A message on your channel, not a ticket, not a CMS login.

02

It builds

The agent edits your site's code in an isolated workspace, builds a preview, and checks its own work against your brand.

03

It checks

Automated gates run on every change: the build, broken links, a performance budget, and a visual diff against the live page.

04

You approve

Small copy and content edits ship on their own. Anything touching layout, forms, or SEO comes to you as a preview with Approve or Request changes.

05

It ships

Approved changes deploy to production. Every change is a commit, so rollback is one click, never a rebuild.

06

It watches

Form submissions, uptime, and errors flow back to you. If production breaks, the agent investigates, can roll back, and reports what it did.

On call

A service relationship, not a tool

Leads

Nothing slips

Form submissions are captured, stored, and pushed to you on your channel, and the agent can draft replies or add them to your CRM.

Site health

First responder

Scheduled checks and error analytics. If production breaks, the agent is woken to investigate and can auto-roll-back the last deploy.

Integrations

Wired in

Slack, email, CRM, calendar, analytics: each a scoped connector. "New lead → CRM contact → Slack the sales channel" is a workflow, not a custom build.

Safety by design

Git is the safety mechanism

Every change is a branch and a preview before it's promoted, so you get free rollback, a full audit trail, and human approval gates on anything that matters. The agent is structurally unable to write to production directly; only a gated promotion step does.

Each client runs in their own isolated environment, with credentials scoped to only their project. The agent literally cannot reach another client's site.

Pricing

Flat monthly. No meter.

Every engagement starts with a setup fee ($2k–$8k by scope): it covers brand ingestion, your initial site, and integration wiring. After that, a flat monthly tier by service scope:

Starter ~$150 per month

Hosting and monitoring, an email channel, and copy & content edits on request.

Growth ~$400 per month

Everything in Starter, plus a Slack channel, two integrations, a faster SLA, and structural edits.

Pro ~$1k+ per month

Everything in Growth, plus multi-channel access, priority response, and broader autonomous changes.

Flat monthly, no per-request charges, no token metering, no overage. Talk to your site as much as you like; that's the point.

Also from the bureau · agentledger

Version control for the age of coding agents.

The tools we ship are built with their own tooling. agentledger is our open-source version control system for AI-assisted development: where git records commits, agentledger records prompt checkpoints (the prompt, who or what ran it, and the change it produced), so the real history of how software got built stays intact.

It runs with git, alongside git, or instead of it: history and diffs by prompt, instant rollback or fork from any checkpoint, parallel agent lanes that negotiate back into main, and a self-hostable hub that streams updates to subscribers.
