Agency Plans
One flat fee. Unlimited work.
Design and development on tap — inspired by the model Designjoy pioneered, but with a full team covering both disciplines. Pause or cancel anytime.
AI agents that run your operations.
Custom Agentic Automation — AI agents that run business workflows end-to-end across your tools. Unlike n8n, Zapier, or Make, the AI itself decides each step based on context. No rigid workflow trees. No no-code middleware.
01 Trigger
A signal arrives.
A lead lands in your CRM, a ticket opens in Linear, a customer email hits the inbox. The agent is watching the channels you've connected.
02 Context
The agent reads the full picture.
It pulls the conversation history, the customer record, your calendar, recent orders — everything relevant for a real decision, not a templated one.
03 Action
It takes action across your tools.
Updates the CRM, books a meeting in Calendly, drafts a personalized reply in Gmail, posts a Slack alert when something needs human review.
04 Ship
You get a daily digest.
A clean summary of every decision the agent made, every action it took, and any edge cases it flagged. Tune it; ship it; sleep.

FAQ
What counts as a "request"?
A request is any discrete task — a landing page design, a feature build, a logo revision, an API integration. Large projects get broken into multiple requests. Submit as many as you want; we fulfill them sequentially.
How fast do you deliver?
Most design requests take 24–48 hours. Development requests vary by complexity. We use AI tooling internally to keep turnaround fast.
Can I pause my Agency Plan?
Yes. Billing runs in 31-day cycles. If you pause with 10 days left, those 10 days carry forward to whenever you resume. No money lost.
Do you work on AI products specifically?
Yes — this is our new core focus. We've built UI for chat interfaces, designed onboarding for LLM products, and integrated Claude API, OpenAI, and Vercel AI SDK into client products.
Can you build custom AI agents that automate our processes?
Yes — that's our Agentic Automation service. Custom AI agents that run business workflows end-to-end across your tools (CRM, calendar, email, billing, Slack). Unlike n8n or Zapier, the AI itself decides what to do based on context — no rigid workflow trees. From $12,000 standalone, or built into a Studio/Growth plan.
What's your refund policy?
If you're not happy within the first week, we'll refund 75% of your first month — no questions asked.
