Great tools. Just not built for you.

Your business already has a process. It just doesn't have its own software yet.

Businesses come to us when:
  • Too many spreadsheets
  • Paying for 5–10 different tools
  • Information lives in multiple places
  • Employees retyping data
  • No automation
  • AI isn't connected to company data
What we do, in one picture

Rented tools in. One system out.

in the works = being built right now for a first client. Don't see yours? Every foaks.ai system starts from your process, not from this list.

AI, twice

AI builds the software. AI powers the software.

We use AI to accelerate development and reduce cost. Then we embed AI into the workflows themselves, helping your team estimate, schedule, reconcile, classify and make decisions faster.

FAQ

Questions owners ask.

A one-time build fee, quoted as a fixed price after the free assessment — not open-ended hours. The system is yours and works on its own from day one. If you want it to keep growing, there is an optional plan for evolving: new features and improvements as your business changes. It is not rent.

A working first version on your real data in weeks, not months. Bigger systems ship in phases, so you start using module one while module two is built.

AI is never the last step. It accelerates the routine engineering; our engineers design, review, test and document everything. Speed from AI, accountability from people.

You do — code, data and documentation. The documentation is thorough enough for any other team to take over. No lock-in, not even to us.

No. Start with the process that hurts most. We integrate with what you keep — QuickBooks, email, payments — no rip-and-replace.

Yes. If a tool has an API, or your data sits in a database we can reach, your system can read from it and write to it. QuickBooks, HubSpot, payment gateways, email and existing SQL databases are common requests. We confirm each integration in the assessment, before quoting.

Yes. Your system launches on hosting in your own account, so you control the server and the data. We set it up with you and can recommend a provider.

Mainstream, open technologies: PHP, MySQL and standard web front ends, with AI from leading models through their APIs. Nothing exotic, so any competent developer can work on it.

Your system keeps running. It lives on your hosting, with your code, your data and full documentation, so any developer or agency can pick it up. That is the point of owning it.
