Custom AI applications your team will actually open.

When a chat window is the wrong shape for the work, we build the application that's right: a review screen, a drafting tool, an assistant inside a system you already use, with AI where it helps and nowhere else.

The best AI applications rarely look like chatbots. An underwriter wants the file summarized next to the checklist; an engineer wants similar past change orders beside the one being written; a paralegal wants the clause highlighted in the document, not described in a sidebar. We design around the task.

Applications run on the cstmAI™ Platform, use cstmAI Search and Connect for data, and inherit Govern's permissions and audit logging. You receive the source code, the design files and the deployment scripts.

FAQ

Questions we hear first.

Do you design the interface too?

Yes. A product designer works with your users from the first week, and we test with real users on real data before launch.

Can it live inside software we already use?

Often, as an extension, a sidebar or through the system's API. We confirm what your system allows during discovery.

Web, desktop or mobile?

Web is the default because it deploys cleanly on your network. We scope other clients when there's a reason to.
