The problem

The hidden cost of generic tools

Off-the-shelf tools solve average problems. No real business is average.

01

Daily friction

Your clinic runs on three tools that don't talk to each other. You type the same name three times — and still get one wrong.

02

Missed opportunities

A customer asks if they can book online. You say 'just message me' — and half of them never follow through.

03

Lock-in without value

You've paid €80/mo for three years for the same software you had on day one. Your business has grown. It hasn't.

What we build

Three ways to put AI to work for you

From the site that puts you on the map to the assistant that answers at 3am — all shaped around your business.

Our method

Where AI steps in — and where it doesn't

AI has rewritten the economics of software development, but it doesn't do the whole job. The line between what AI accelerates and what still needs human thinking is what determines the quality of the result.

AI accelerates

  • — Base code and scaffolding — structure, routes, common components
  • — Template adaptation — colors, copy, images, your business info
  • — Initial content generation — copy, FAQ, SEO text
  • — Technical documentation and code comments
  • — Automated tests and repetitive validations

Humans decide

  • — Discovery — understanding your real business, not a generic version
  • — Product decisions — what to include, what to cut, where to invest
  • — Specific business logic — the unique rules of your case
  • — Relationship with you — what AI cannot replace
  • — Final QA and security before launch
In practice

How this translates to a real project

A Portuguese accountant needs a system that imports invoices from e-Fatura and automatically calculates withholding specific to the simplified tax regime.

Without AI
  • 2–3 weeks
  • ~30 human hours
  • ~€3,500
With our method
  • 4 days
  • ~10 human hours
  • ~€1,200
  1. 01 Discovery (2h human)
  2. 02 Scaffolding + e-Fatura integration — AI builds, human reviews (1 day)
  3. 03 Withholding logic — human + AI in pair (1 day)
  4. 04 QA and deploy (½ day human)

AI does the repetitive and predictable work. The human focuses on the logic only the accountant knows how to explain.

Based in Portugal. We work in Portuguese, English and Spanish.

Frequently asked

What people usually ask

The short answers — anything else we sort out by email or a quick chat.

  • How much does a project cost?

    Depends on what you need — that's why there's no table. Projects start at €149: answer a handful of questions and get scope, timeline and a fixed price instantly. Tailored projects and creative work get a quote after a 20-minute chat.

  • How long between our first call and delivery?

    Starter: 3–5 days. Custom: 2–3 weeks. Scale: multi-month, scoped together. We start within 48h after you accept the proposal.

  • I already have a site or tool. Do you start from scratch?

    No. We run a diagnostic, see what's worth keeping and what isn't, then propose incremental evolution or replacement — whichever makes more sense for your case.

  • What does 'AI' mean here, concretely?

    AI speeds things up — it doesn't replace thinking. We use large language models to prototype in days what used to take weeks, generate base code, adapt templates to your niche, and automate things like chatbots. Product decisions remain human.

  • Do I own the code and the site?

    Always. We hand over the code, domain and all access. If you continue with us (Essential or Active plan), great. If you leave, you take everything with you — no lock-in.

  • Do you support the project after launch? Do you work outside Portugal?

    Yes to both. The Essential (€29/mo) and Active (€89/mo) plans cover ongoing support. We work with clients outside PT — we communicate in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Portuguese invoicing with appropriate VAT for your country.
