Rails & AI Consulting

Idiomatic Rails. AI-Powered Speed.

We write Rails the way it was meant to be written. And we help engineering teams make the shift from writing code to reviewing it — the workflow where AI authors and engineers direct. Former GitLab and GitHub staff, Rails contributors, AI researchers.

The honest part

Your competitors' engineers don't write code anymore. They review it.

Your Rails app has fat controllers, models that do everything, and a test suite that nobody trusts. You know it. Your engineers know it. It costs you more to change than it cost to build.

Meanwhile, your competitors’ engineers don’t open blank files anymore. They write specs, review diffs, and merge. AI does the authoring. That gap compounds every quarter.

Our approach combines deep Rails expertise with modern AI workflows, helping teams move faster without compromising code quality. We don’t just improve your app — we upgrade how your team builds software.

Open source

We build in public.

Some of what we build, we ship for everyone. No subscription, no lock-in — just useful software you can run yourself.

Nufinox

Business management for professional services firms. Employee tracking, client management, work logging, and invoicing in one self-hosted system. Syncs with Asana, Linear, and your accounting software. AI-ready via MCP server. Your data, your infrastructure, no subscription fees.

The process

How it works.

Audit first.

We read your codebase and your workflow before writing a line. Rails architecture review and AI readiness assessment. No discovery phase that drags on for weeks — a straight answer on what’s broken and what it’ll take to fix it.

We fix or we build.

Idiomatic Rails refactor, greenfield app, or AI tooling integration — whichever you need, we ship it fast. Days, not weeks. Working software, not status reports.

Your team levels up.

Code your engineers understand. Workflows they actually use. You’re not dependent on us forever — that’s the point. We leave and your team is permanently faster.
