AI, for Your Business

How to leverage your AI agent for your business.

Short, honest, jargon-free notes on where AI could have a positive impact in your business. Please let us know how you get on!

Small drafts, big relief

Worth it

Using AI to get the ugly first version of anything out of your head and onto the page in minutes, not afternoons.

Replacing your whole team

Skip it

If a tool promises to run your business without you, it is selling you a subscription and a headache.

RecipeJam

Turn what you cook into something you can share

Collections, shareable recipe pages, QR codes and printable ebooks. The companion iOS and Android app caches everything for the kitchen, so it still works with wet hands and no signal.

CookingJam

Cook together, apart

More a concept than a product. Pick something to make, choose a time, share a link, then cook — separately but together. No feed, no likes, no audience, no timer. Just two people doing the same thing at the same time, miles apart.

ColourLine

See words differently

Part font, part visual language, part experiment. Every character is three vertical coloured lines read left to right, so a name or a phrase stands on its own as a piece of visual design. Abstract at first — then the patterns emerge and the words appear. Free to download as a font, webfont or SVG alphabet.

Business Prompt Library

Steal these. Then make them yours.

A living library, not a finished book. Every prompt explains what each part of it does, so you can see how it works rather than pasting something you do not understand. Free, and no sign-up.

In the workshop

Current projects.

The half-built stuff. Nothing here is tidy yet, which is rather the point.

The workshop

Small enough to care about the details. Stubborn enough to refuse the boring way of doing things.

  • You talk to the person actually building it.
  • We ship the useful version first, then improve it.
  • We say no when no is the honest answer.

What we do

Four ways we can be useful to you.

Small web apps

Tools, dashboards, booking flows, internal systems. The unglamorous software that quietly saves a business hours every week.

Products, from idea

You have a scrappy idea and no giant budget. We help shape it, build the first real version and put it in front of people.

Websites with a spine

Sites that say something, load fast and don't look like every other template out there. Personality included at no extra cost.

AI, used sensibly

Where AI genuinely helps your business — and where it is a waste of money. Plain answers, no buzzword tax.

How we work

Keeping the simple, simple.

We keep the process embarrassingly simple on purpose. The less ceremony there is, the sooner you have something real in your hands.

01

We listen, properly

No discovery workshops, no 40-page brief. You tell us what you need in your own words, and we keep asking until we have it right. Get this bit wrong and everything after it is wasted.

02

We build a working prototype

Not a mockup, not a slide deck. Something real you can click, poke at and use, so you are reacting to the thing itself rather than a description of it.

03

We iterate, then launch

A round or two of changes, based on what you found actually using it. Then it goes live. If it needs more rounds than that, we got step one wrong.

Start a project

Got something you want to build?

Tell us in a few sentences. If we're not the right fit we'll say so — and usually we'll point you at someone who is.

  • 1You send this short form.
  • 2We read it properly, and get back to you within a working day.
  • 3Your information and details are treated as confidential.

No pricing pages. No sales calls. Just a conversation.
