Digital products that earn their keep.

We design, build and ship platforms, MVPs and digital products, and bring practical AI into local businesses.

Most software gets built at arm's length. A brief goes in, a build comes out, and nobody asks the hard questions in between. We work the other way: in the room, across the table, close enough to understand the business before we write a line of code.

What we build

From first sketch to running system.

Four disciplines, one accountable team.

Platforms

Portals, dashboards and internal tools. The systems your team lives in every day, built to hold up for years.

MVPs

A working product in front of real users in weeks, scoped to prove the one thing that matters.

Digital products

Customer-facing products taken from first sketch to launch, with design and engineering under one roof.

AI for local business

Practical AI and custom solutions woven into the tools you already use. Quiet automation that saves hours, never a chatbot bolted on.

  1. Listen

    We start in your world, not ours. Real conversations about the workflow behind the org chart, and the numbers behind the workflow.

  2. Shape

    Together we cut scope until what's left is sharp: the smallest build that moves the number you care about.

  3. Build

    You see progress weekly, in working software, not slide decks. Questions get answered by the person writing the code.

  4. Stay

    Launch is the midpoint. We measure what the product actually does, refine it, and stick around for what comes next.

Technical under the hood. Plain English in the room.

We live in the deep technical detail so you never have to. No jargon, no forty-page briefs, no translating your own project back to yourself.

  • OAuth2 refresh-token rotation

    Your customers stay signed in, securely.

  • Idempotent webhook processing

    No double charges. Ever.

  • P95 response under 200 ms

    It just feels instant.

You talk about your business in your words. We carry it through the technical work and bring it back as software you can see, use and understand.

Who we help

Where we usually come in.

Sketching plans on paper beside a laptop

You've got the idea.

Founders with something to prove. We scope and ship an MVP that tests the riskiest assumption first.

Inside a bright local cafe

Your week disappears into admin.

Local businesses running on manual process. We fit practical AI into the work you already do and hand your hours back.

A team working through laptops around one table

You've outgrown the spreadsheet.

Teams pushing their tools past the limit. We design and build the platform the operation actually needs.

Working side by side around one laptop

Built close.

Guided Intelligence keeps design and engineering in the same heads. The people you meet at the first conversation are the people who ship your product, so nothing gets lost between the brief and the build.

We use AI heavily in our own workflow. It makes a focused team move like a much larger one, and that difference lands in your quote, not our margin.

  • Design and build under one roof
  • Direct access to the builders
  • AI in our own toolkit
