AI Jumpstart
See what AI-led development can really do.
In 2-3 weeks, we'll turn your idea into working software. Not a mockup. Not a slide deck. A functional application you can click through and evaluate.
Powered by our proprietary AI methodology—production-quality code, 10-80X faster than AI-assisted coding.

What's Included
Discovery Consultation
1-2 hour session to define goals, core workflow, and success criteria
Application Spec
Concise, AI-executable specification covering features, data model, and primary user flow
Core Build
Functional application with UI, business logic, and data layer ready to demo — far beyond a typical prototype
What You Walk Away With
- Working software you can demo, not just a promise
- A reusable spec for future development
- A clear picture of what completing the full build looks like
Refinement
Take it as far as you want.
After the Jumpstart, you have working software and a clear spec. Refinement is how we take it further—adding quality, customizations, and remaining features until you're satisfied.
- A senior architect directs AI agents through iterative refinement (most projects need just one)
- Production-grade code: tested, secure, and maintainable
- Weekly demos so you see progress in real time
- Stop when you're ready—no long-term commitment
The Future of Work
From Knowledge Work to Intelligence Work
AI lets us offload knowledge tasks so humans can focus on directing intelligence.
AI as Time Compression
Technological progress has always been about compressing time. AI shrinks timelines in materials science, medicine, energy, education, and business. AI doesn't disrupt reality—it accelerates what was already happening.
The Shift
AI systems can now perform roughly 80% of knowledge work. Our jobs shift from doing the work to directing AI to perform the work.
The Transition Period
AI handles most knowledge work today, but human verification remains essential. That last 20% matters—until AI is reliably self-verifying, we still supervise.
The New Job: Intelligence Work
This new discipline has three core skills:
Conjectures
Generating testable ideas and designing experiments. Your value isn't in knowing things. Your value is in discovering what to try next.
Orchestration
Directing intelligent systems. Context engineering, multi-agent coordination, choosing the right models for the right tasks. We conduct the agents.
Evaluation
Measuring business outcomes, not implementation details. Comparing before versus after, deciding whether to scale, iterate, or scrap.

HarmonicWork.ai
Core Build & Refinement: 6 weeks
A work management platform that enables collaboration between AI workers and human workers. Built for a 14,000-employee organization's creative department, it eliminates the communication overhead that plagues traditional project management.
- AI Intake — Replaces requirements meetings with intelligent project scoping
- Auto-Prioritization — Dynamically scores and queues work based on business goals
- Smart Delegation — Routes tasks to the right human or AI worker
- AI Workers — Collaborate alongside humans to increase capacity
Our AI Development Methodology
How we consistently deliver production-quality software at unprecedented speed.
Spec-Based Development with Fast Feedback Loops
Traditional development writes code first and hopes it meets requirements. Our approach inverts this: we create precise specifications that become the source of truth, then leverage AI to generate verified, production-quality code.
Spec Development Loop
Define system purpose, requirements, and structure. Generate code, evaluate architecture, refine specs. Iterate rapidly to explore design approaches.
System + Verifier Loop
Build custom verification tools that ensure security, functionality, and compliance. The verifier acts as a test harness—proving the system behaves exactly as specified.
The result: one sentence of specification can equal hundreds of lines of verified code. Quality concerns are addressed through verification, not hope.
Industries We've Served
26 years of building enterprise software across sectors that demand reliability, compliance, and results.
EdTech That Reaches Learners Faster
From student information systems to learning platforms, education technology demands intuitive interfaces and reliable data handling. AI-led development accelerates the build of administrative tools, assessment platforms, and personalized learning experiences—getting functional software in front of educators and students faster.
Compliant Systems, Rapid Validation
Healthcare and insurance applications require strict compliance, complex workflows, and seamless integrations. Our AI Jumpstart can rapidly prototype claims processing tools, patient portals, and care coordination systems—letting you validate ideas before committing to a full build.
Precision Software for High Stakes
Financial applications demand precision, security, and auditability. Whether you're building portfolio management dashboards, reporting tools, or client-facing platforms, AI-led development delivers working software you can evaluate against real requirements—not just wireframes.
Ship Before Competitors Do
Consumer-facing applications need to move fast and iterate constantly. From e-commerce platforms to content management systems, AI-led development compresses timelines so you can test ideas with real users, gather feedback, and refine—all before competitors ship.
