AI-accelerated · human-reviewed

AI-powered software development. We build with AI, and we build AI into the systems you run on.

Our engineers work alongside AI agents every day. That's how two of them rebuilt a manufacturer's entire ERP, from quoting to shipping, in about five months, with AI built in where it helps: reading documents, drafting estimates, checking orders. The agents do the reading and the typing. People make the decisions.

More than AI features

We rebuilt a manufacturer's entire ERP. Three systems became one.

Quest Industries, a Michigan mold-tooling and machining shop, ran on an old ERP, a separate workflow platform and a stack of estimating spreadsheets that never talked to each other, so people retyped everything between them. We replaced all three with one system built around how Quest actually works: quoting, jobs, scheduling, purchasing, shipping, inventory and more. Their yearly software license bill is now close to zero.

Inside the new ERP: quoting

From a forwarded email to a priced quote

Quoting is where AI does the most for Quest. Estimators used to spend 35 to 45 minutes of hand work on every mold quote, and days on the big ones. Here's what happens now.

01
quote-request.eml
Forward the email
Anyone can forward a request for a quote. The drawings, spreadsheets and 3D CAD files come along with it.
02
95 files
AI reads every file
Prints, datasheets, photos, slide decks and 3D models are each read on their own terms and turned into one structured brief.
03
3 gaps flagged
It flags what's missing
A missing annual volume, a material that disagrees with its datasheet, an unclear finish: caught before an estimator starts.
04
estimate.draft
It drafts the estimate
One model maps the materials and dimensions, a stronger one makes the engineering calls, and Quest's own pricing engine recalculates after every decision.
05
review
An estimator checks it
Every value can be overridden, and every AI decision is kept in a trace the estimator can read.
06
quote.pdf
The quote goes out
Priced to within cents of the old system, checked before it's sent, and filed automatically.

How our AI behaves

AI proposes. Code and people decide.

AI is fast, but it isn't accountable. So in every system we build, it works inside rules that keep your numbers right and your people in charge.

01
Code goes first
Plain, tested code does everything it can, then hands the AI facts to work from, not guesses.
02
Numbers are never retyped
Anything that ends up in stock or money is read by code, never retyped by a model.
03
People sign off
Anything that reaches a customer is reviewed by a person, and automation ships switched off until you turn it on.
04
When it's unsure, it asks
Instead of guessing, it stops and asks, with a few answers to pick from. Every decision it makes is logged where your team can read it.

How we build

Two engineers. A team of AI agents. About five months.

That's what it took to build Quest's new ERP, one system in place of three. AI agents write much of the code, run overnight on long tasks and dig through old databases. Our engineers direct them, review the work and own the result.

✓Every change passes thousands of automated tests before it can ship, and nothing reaches production without a person's approval.
✓Our design rules are enforced by code, so speed never quietly wears down quality.
✓We walk every major feature by hand, too. The first walkthrough of Quest's workflow engine found nine bugs the automated tests had missed.
✓We run our own business on it: our internal platform uses 68 AI agents, from email triage to turning recorded meetings into estimates.

What We Build Into YourSystems

The same kinds of AI we built for Quest, applied to the work your team does every day.

Reads Your Documents

Emails, drawings, spreadsheets, PDFs and 3D files turned into clean, structured data, with gaps flagged before anyone relies on it.

Drafts Estimates and Plans

Estimates and job plans drafted from your own history and rules, then recalculated by your pricing logic and checked by your people.

Checks Orders Against Quotes

Customer purchase orders read and compared with the quote line by line, so mismatches surface before work starts.

Assistants That Do the Work

Chat assistants that can edit a quote, explain a spec or draft a vendor email, inside the tools your team already uses.

Meetings Into Action

Recorded calls turned into summaries, action items and even scoped estimates. We use this one ourselves.

Cost Control and Model Choice

Every AI feature can switch between providers, with its cost tracked per feature and per user, so you always know what AI is costing you.

The moment it clicked

Quest gave a 62-year-old career machining estimator a login and no demo. He created a request on his own. For a custom thread the shop can't cut, the AI suggested sending it out, because Quest had outsourced the same thread before.
