Investors asked about AI last quarter. They'll ask again next quarter. The feature is on the roadmap. The eng team is heads-down on the previous quarter's commitment. Meanwhile a competitor you've never heard of just got named in ChatGPT for your category. Let's fix all three.

You're here because

We'd bet one of these is yours.

Three moments we hear in almost every first call. Tell us if one of them landed — that's usually where we'd start.

  • The AI feature has been on the roadmap for three planning cycles.

    Two engineers are excited about it. One is skeptical. Nobody on go-to-market has touched it. Investors asked last quarter. They'll ask again next quarter.

    01 · Roadmap · not roadmap-shipped

  • Your demo flow is a contact form and a 36-hour delay.

    Buyers who fill it out have already pinged two competitors. The qualified ones are gone by the time your AE replies. Your funnel data calls it a 'show-rate problem.' It's a speed problem.

    02 · Demo qualification · leaking

  • You're invisible in answer engines.

    ChatGPT named three competitors when asked for 'best [your category]' yesterday. One was your direct competitor. One was a Series A you've never heard of. The third no longer exists. You weren't on the list.

    03 · Category invisibility

If any of that landed, you're in the right kitchen.

What changes the day we start

Three things that stop being your problem.

  • No longer your job

    01

    The AI feature on the roadmap ships in 6 weeks, not 6 months

    Production-grade build with the evals, observability, and guardrails the board will actually ask about. Your engineers go back to the roadmap they're already late on.

  • No longer your job

    02

    Your demo flow stops being a contact form and a 36-hour delay

    Site agent qualifies, books, and routes every demo — with a real audit trail. Show-rate goes from 'we have a leaky funnel' to 'we have a real funnel'.

  • No longer your job

    03

    You get named in answer engines for your category

    Citation engineering for new categories. When investors and buyers ask Perplexity for 'best [your category]', you're the first name — not the third.

If we were starting today

Here's what we'd plate first.

Most early teams start with the eval suite — it makes the AI you already have investable. Then the agent replaces SDR work. Then the build ships the feature your roadmap is late on.

Stop us if you've thought any of this

We've heard it. Here's the real talk.

The three doubts that come up on every first call. You're not the first person to think them. You're also not wrong to.

  • You've thought

    “We have engineers. Can't we build this in-house?”

    Real answer

    You can. Most teams that try take 3-4 months and ship without evals. We ship in 6 weeks with evals, observability, and a clean hand-off — so your engineers go back to the roadmap they were already late on.

  • You've thought

    “We're pre-revenue. The spend feels heavy.”

    Real answer

    The site agent + scorecard is $8.5K and replaces an SDR. The eval suite ($4.5K) makes your existing AI features investable. Start there. Most teams pay back inside one fundraising cycle.

  • You've thought

    “We're not ready to commit to an AI vendor long-term.”

    Real answer

    You're not. Everything we build is yours — clean repo, runbooks, evals, monitoring. We can stay on retainer, or you can take it and walk. No lock-in, by design.

Got a fourth? Bring it to the call.

Someone who was where you are

“They shipped the AI feature our team had on the roadmap for two quarters in six weeks. More importantly, they built the eval suite that makes us comfortable iterating on it.”
