[ 01 / What We Do ]

Three phases. One team. Built by senior engineers who treat your business like their own.

We don’t sell AI tools.
We build bespoke systems
tuned to your workflow.

[ 01 ]

Discover

We map the workflow before we build the tool.

Two weeks on-site (or on Zoom). We watch how your team actually works, find the friction, and pick the one or two places AI will move the needle. No deck. No theatre.

  • Workflow audit
  • Stakeholder interviews
  • Opportunity scoring
[ 02 ]

Build

Custom systems on infra you own.

We build on open models you control. Self-hosted where it matters, API-routed where it makes sense. Production code, not a Notion doc full of prompts.

  • Open model fine-tuning
  • Tool integrations
  • Eval + observability
[ 03 ]

Launch

Hand-over that actually sticks.

We train your team, document everything, and stay on standby for 30 days. You inherit a working system — and the keys to extend it.

  • Team training
  • Runbooks + handoff
  • 30-day post-launch
[ 02 / Process ]

Three weeks.
One working system.

Most agencies sell a six-month engagement. Most software vendors sell a license. We sell a sprint that ends with you owning a real, running system.

Discover.
We learn your business cold.

Two-week deep dive. We sit with your team, watch the workflow, and identify the highest-leverage place to apply AI. You leave with a written brief — not a sales pitch.

[ 03 / Who It’s For ]

Three operators we just made unstoppable.

Common thread

Founders with a real business, real revenue, and real pain — not pilots looking to play with toys.

CASE.A

The Restaurant Owner

Voice agentPOS syncCRM enrichment

AI that picks up the phone and books the table.

You’re running a 70-seat restaurant and three locations. Reservations come in by phone, by Resy, by DMs. We built a voice + SMS agent that handles every channel, syncs the floor plan, and never says the wrong thing about your wine list.

CASE.B

The E-commerce Founder

Shopify integrationRAG over docsRefund policy reasoning

Customer support that scales without the headcount.

Your DTC brand is doing $4M and you’re drowning in tickets. We built a support agent on top of your Shopify + Gorgias data that resolves 64% of tickets autonomously — and routes the rest with full context.

Client reports that write themselves — your way.

You’re a 12-person agency with 30 retainers. We trained an AI on your reporting voice and connected it to GA4, Shopify, Meta and HubSpot. Monthly reports go out in your style, with your insights, before your team has logged in.

Receipts over
rhetoric.

We measure ourselves the way our clients measure us — by what shipped, what stuck, and what changed.

[ Testimonial / 01 ]
“They walked into our kitchen on a Tuesday and had a working voice agent answering reservations by the next Monday. We stopped losing tables to missed calls overnight.”
Marisol Echeverria
Owner, Casa Lupita (3 locations)
[ Testimonial / 02 ]
“I’ve been pitched AI by every agency in town. Brand New Ideas was the only team that asked to see our actual ticket queue before they said a word. Then they shipped.”
Devon Park
Founder, Northbound Outerwear
[ Testimonial / 03 ]
“Our agency had 30 retainers and burnt-out senior strategists. The reporting system they built sounds exactly like us, only faster. It paid for itself in 38 days.”
