Agentic Development · Using AI to Code

AI-Accelerated Development

Faster delivery. No shortcuts on quality. We use AI at every stage of building custom software, from the first prototype to release. AI is the accelerator. Our engineers are the decision-makers.

01People first

The engineers will always matter

AI can write code. It can’t sit with your team, understand how your business works or take responsibility for what goes live. That’s the work our engineers do, and AI makes them faster at it.

We invest in that judgement through in-person bootcamps, internships, workshops and conference talks. Our engineers learn to use AI well because they first learn to build software well.

People need to understand other people. The critical step in developing systems is understanding the business needs.

02Our process

How we work: principled by design, accelerated by AI

Our engineers give AI tools written “skills scripts”: instructions that set out our architecture rules, quality standards and testing expectations. AI works within those rules, and our engineers check the results.

  1. Understand the business

    Before any code, we explore how your business works through business analysis, Event Storming and domain-driven design. AI helps us produce the requirements faster.

  2. Prototype first

    We build a few fast working prototypes to test whether an idea works before full development starts. You choose the approach that goes into development.

  3. Build with the right tools

    We work on a proven tech stack with AI tooling on top. AI speeds up setting up environments, writing code, unit testing, integration testing and quality checks.

  4. Review carefully

    AI helps write code, tests and documentation. We have a multi-layered review process, with other agents in an adversarial QA role, and experienced people providing the final overview.

  5. Keep engineers in control

    Our developers lead the AI and keep hold of the product direction and all architectural decisions. The result is software that’s maintainable, reliable and performs well.

  6. Deliver, then iterate

    Fast delivery from idea to launch, production-grade, secure and ready to grow with your business.

03What we build

What we build

AI-Accelerated Development covers the whole stack: the screens your people use, the services and data behind them, and the connections to your other systems.

Full stack development

Web technologies

Business-critical web applications with fast, responsive interfaces that work on desktop and mobile. We’ve built single-page applications for over a decade, and our UI and UX designers work alongside the developers.

Back-end development

Back-end, APIs and cloud

Secure, performant back-end systems that can change as your requirements grow. We use domain-driven design to structure the code around how your business works, and we have competencies in all the major Cloud platforms (Microsoft Azure, AWS, Google Cloud).

Itensity A cloud platform for gyms and clubs

Mobile app development

Mobile apps

Mobile apps for people who work away from a desk. We prefer Flutter and Dart as our mobile tech, and deploy apps to the Play Store, App Store and Huawei. Our mobile apps integrate voice recognition, GPS, camera and scanning to provide superior quality business apps.

StoreSnap A retail merchandising platform

AI in your software

AI features in your software

As well as using AI to build software, we build AI features into it, from answers grounded in your own content to automatic routing and translation.

04In action

  • Task Express
  • KRS product

From manual ticket handling to an AI-powered help desk

Challenge: Agents were categorising, prioritising and assigning every ticket by hand. As volumes grew, that caused delays, inconsistent handling and a poor experience for users.

Approach: We rebuilt and user-tested the interface first, then added AI features one at a time, checking each one before adding the next.

Built with: ASP.NET Core (.NET 10), SvelteKit, Semantic Kernel and Azure OpenAI

Build something that lasts, faster than you’d expect.

You’ll get honest timelines and a clear view of where AI helps and where it doesn’t. We work with clients in South Africa, the UK, Ireland and Europe.
