Consulting, development and AI
One team across the full range of building work, grounded in professional engineering.
Consulting
Architecture, technical strategy and delivery review, so teams ship with confidence.
Bespoke development
You bring the idea and the market knowledge, we design and build the product, end to end.
AI adoption
Practical AI in your business: assistants, automation and reporting, built into the tools you already use.
Integration
Connecting systems, data and platforms so they work as one.
Training
Workshops and cohorts that build real engineering capability, the dojo way.
Open source
We build and maintain open tools, and teach in the open.
From idea to product
You know your market and you have the idea. We bring the senior engineering. Together we shape the idea, agree a first version your budget can carry, and ship it in weeks. From there the product grows at the pace your business sets.
Every build is a bespoke deal shaped around your situation, and we advise you honestly on what to build first and what can wait.
A bespoke deal includes
- A discovery session to shape the idea together
- A fixed scope first version, shipped in weeks
- Senior engineers, test driven from day one
- Clear ownership: the product and the code are yours
Put AI to work, where it pays
AI can save a small business real time, and it can also waste a year. We help you find the places where it genuinely pays, build it into the tools you already use, and keep your data private and handled in line with European rules. And we tell you straight where AI fits and where it does not.
Customer assistants
Answer customers well, around the clock, in your tone and with your knowledge.
Documents and admin
Automate the paperwork: quotes, invoices, contracts and the inbox.
Data and reporting
Ask questions of your own data and get answers you can act on.
Strategy and training
A clear AI plan for your business, and a team trained to use it well.
How an engagement works
From the first conversation to a product you own, in three steps.
Start small
We scope a first thin slice together and ship it within weeks, so you see working software before committing to more.
Build in the open
Working software every week, tests as the proof, and code you can read in the open. You follow progress in the product.
Stay on or hand over
We run the product with you, or train your team to own it, the dojo way. Either way the capability stays in your hands.
The disciplines behind this, test driven development, pairing and continuous delivery, are written out on our curriculum page.
