AI is moving fast enough that standing still is the real risk, so we treat the pace as fuel, not a threat. New models and techniques get tried in a sandbox first, against a real workflow pain point, before they ever touch a client platform.
Nothing graduates on hype. If it lessens or eliminates a pain point, if a business we run evolves because of it, or if it just genuinely impresses the team, it earns its way to production, and then it's available to everyone on that platform, not just the one case we tried it on.
Your AI supply-chain concierge - catching the dollars a spreadsheet misses.
An agentic platform that monitors suppliers, POs, shipments, invoices, pricing, comms & operational signals. Automated supply-chain analysis, risk detection & comms, with AI analytics and KPI dashboards for supplier, shipment, pricing & exception data, turning operational data into actionable insight.
7 specialized AI agents continuously monitor, reason over & automate supply-chain operations 24/7 → one simple inbox for you.

Production · stage 5 of 5Marketing, maintenance, and feature roadmap phase
Agentic platform built for small distributors - imports purchase orders from any file (CSV, TXT, XML, EDI, PDF) or straight from QuickBooks, follows up with suppliers by email in your voice, reads & classifies replies, and tracks shipments via UPS/FedEx, closing POs automatically on delivery.
Supplier reliability scoring surfaces who confirms without chasing and whose promised dates actually hold, while price intelligence flags supplier increases against historical data.
12-week cash flow forecasting and reorder timing tuned to real supplier reliability - plus a lead time & risk dashboard that flags concentration risk, bill-vs-PO price checks against QuickBooks, automated AR follow-up, and Shopify and Faire sales insight.
7 specialized AI agents that monitor, reason over & automate supply-chain operations 24/7 - with escalating follow-up tone if a supplier goes quiet.
TraxRecovery · now live
Late-delivery guarantees, duplicate freight charges, missed early-payment discounts, sales tax charged on resale goods, retailer deduction errors - most of it goes unclaimed because filing takes evidence and a strict window nobody has time to track. TraxRecovery's agents read the invoices and exports you already have, find every refundable line with evidence, file the claim, and match the credit when it lands.
30% of what's actually recovered. No subscription, no setup fee, no charge on denied claims.
Mission: enterprise-grade supply-chain intelligence for small distributors - no IT department required.
The AI platform for the future of short-term rentals.
Powered by AI 24/7, guided by hosts ·Automation with a personal touch
Software that intelligently acts, learns, and never sleeps. A dedicated team of 10 specialized AI agents works your portfolio 24/7, diagnosing repairs, dispatching vendors, turning units between guests, and watching every lease.
Diagnosing, dispatching, and turning units behind the scenes → one simple calendar for you.
Used by
Property managers
Vacation rental operators

Micro-resort owners
Managing both long-term and short-term rentals.
Production · stage 5 of 5Marketing, maintenance, and feature roadmap phase
One system for operators running both long-term leases and short-term rentals - a single unified calendar for leases, guest bookings, and turnovers, instead of two subscriptions and two dashboards.
The AI Maintenance Coordinator reads the booking calendar before it triages, ranks vendors by completion rate, rating, and cost, and knows the difference: a broken AC with a guest inside is an emergency, the same fault in an empty unit is routine.
Dynamic pricing with transparent reasoning, lease renewal alerts, turn management, cleaner assignment, and a "micro-resort" mode for shared amenities and whole-property buyouts.
10 specialized AI agents, including a Portfolio Assistant for cross-property questions and an Insights Agent that writes the daily briefing and owner statements, operating on a progressive autonomy model - Observe → Recommend → Prepare → Execute → Autonomous → Optimize - with a full audit trail behind every decision.
About the free tools
Not one model's opinion. A panel of specialists, each arguing from their own chair, plus real checks against the market.
Rental Property Analyzer: 6 focused AI reviewers (property manager, investor, lender, tax analyst, inspector, and more) weigh in like the panel of people you'd actually call before making an offer. Lease vs. nightly income, holding costs, break-even price, every number showing where it came from.
Listing Audit: judged by 7 purpose-built AI reviewers (listing agent, SEO marketer, photographer, property manager, guest experience, and more), plus measured checks against the market: title length, description depth, amenity coverage, review signals, and price against the market average.
Live in production, with cleaner checklists with photo proof for short-term rentals in progress.
Next
SMS notifications, AI-narrated owner reporting, and suggested rules the AI proposes and you approve.

Real operational pain, closed by working software
PainChasing suppliers by hand, every single day.
FixAI drafts and sends the follow-up, reads the reply, and escalates tone automatically if a supplier goes quiet.
PainA spreadsheet has no idea a supplier just raised prices.
FixPrice intelligence flags increases automatically against each supplier's own history.
PainTwo calendars, two logins, one property.
FixOne unified calendar for leases, guest bookings, and turnovers - no second subscription.
PainA maintenance ticket doesn't know if anyone's home.
FixContext-aware triage - emergency with a guest inside, routine when the unit's empty - decided automatically.
How we build
Platform-first, not feature-first
01
Domain-grounded models
We start with the operational reality of an industry, then build the intelligence layer around it - not the other way around.
02
Built for scale
Every platform is architected to go from first customer to full fleet without a rewrite.
03
Trust by design
Security, rate-limiting, and abuse resistance are part of the initial architecture, not a patch after launch.
04
Learning is infrastructure
Every deployment produces evaluation data. We treat that as a first-class input, not an afterthought, so the system gets more reliable the longer it runs.
AI platforms & engineering
Our platforms combine deterministic workflows with LLM-based reasoning - Claude, LangGraph, n8n, Python, Postgres, Redis, MCPs, and cloud infrastructure - not a chatbot bolted onto old software.
Agents monitor operational data, reason over persistent context, flag risks and exceptions, and generate recommendations before acting on anything.
Stateful orchestration and persistent memory mean the system remembers your operation, with human-in-the-loop control wherever it matters.
Structured and unstructured data, external services, and existing workflows all feed into one unified platform - nothing lives in a separate tool.
Every production run adds to an evaluation history the team studies directly - the platform doesn't just operate, it gets audited and improved on real outcomes.
startup playbook
How we build a startup around every platform
Every platform we run started as a small, scrappy bet, not a big launch. This is the playbook we keep coming back to.
Ship something rough in week one
A polished v1.0 can wait. We put a rough version in front of real people in the first week and let reality edit the roadmap.
Watch where people get stuck
We watch real people use it and note every spot where they hesitate. Confusion is the most honest feedback there is.
Talk to users every single day
Daily conversations, then daily rebuilds. We build from what we hear, not from what we assumed.
Onboard the first ten by hand
Calls, setups, replies. The first ten customers get a person, not a help-center article, and we learn something from every one.
Build one feature for one customer
One customer who desperately needs it beats ten features nobody asked for. That's how the roadmap earns its place.
Chase ten percent a week, not spikes
We ignore the viral blip and go after steady weekly growth. Spikes fade, compounding doesn't.
10% a week · ~3.1× in 12 weeksviral spike · fades backillustrative
Stay small, keep burn low, do the selling
We keep the team small, the burn low, and we sell it ourselves, even when selling isn't the fun part.
Turn what we learn into features
We iterate on AI learnings and customer stories, then translate them into enhanced features. We feel the pains ourselves, so we can ease them with software logic and agentic AI.
100 people who can't live without it beat 10,000 who tried it once.

system blueprint
What a deployment actually looks like
Every platform we ship follows the same shape: messy real-world inputs in, a stateful
orchestration core in the middle, and every action checked before it lands.

Progressive autonomy
Agents earn trust one stage at a time - nothing runs unsupervised until it has proven itself at the stage below.
Decision audit trail
Every decision an agent makes is logged as a chain of events you can replay. Illustrative trace of one supplier price-change decision.

how we engineer ai
Opinionated about where the model is allowed to decide
Most AI products let the model touch everything. Ours draw a hard line: deterministic code owns
the decisions that must never be wrong, the model owns the ones that need judgment, and a harness
checks both.
agent_loop.pseudorunning
# every agent, every task
context = feed(system_prompt, ask, history)
memory = recall(platform, long_term=True)
while not done:
plan = model.reason(context, memory)
if plan.touches(MONEY | PERMISSIONS | DELETE):
plan = rules.enforce(plan) # no model here
result = tools.run(plan.action)
check = verify(result, plan.expected)
if check.confidence < THRESHOLD:
escalate(human, reason=check.why) # never guess
grade = evaluate(result, ask) # feeds back in
memory.write(result, grade)
audit.log(plan, result, grade) # replayable
done = check.ok and grade.passes
# every failure becomes a test case
The decision boundary
Which side a decision lands on is a design choice, made up front, not left to the prompt.

Failure modes we design against
Every one of these has bitten a real AI deployment somewhere. Each has a specific control, not a hope.
controls · enforced
Hallucinated data
controlEvery fact is grounded in a source record or it doesn't ship. No source, no claim.
Silent failure
controlEvery output is graded. A confident wrong answer is caught the same as an obvious one.
Runaway loops
controlHard step and spend budgets per task. The loop ends when the job is done or the budget is.
Prompt injection
controlInbound content is data, never instructions. Tool access is scoped per agent, per task.
Stale memory
controlMemory carries timestamps and provenance. Old context decays instead of masquerading as current.
Unexplainable actions
controlEvery decision logs its reason and is reversible. If it can't be explained, it can't run unsupervised.
Confidence-gated escalation
Every action carries a confidence score. The score, not the model, decides how much autonomy it gets. Thresholds shown are illustrative.
0.97
0.00.60.91.0
Ask a humanLow confidence never guesses. It escalates with its reasoning attached.
RecommendDrafts the action, waits for a one-tap approval, learns from the answer.
Auto-executeRuns on its own, still graded, still logged, still reversible.
Memory layers
An agent that forgets your business every session isn't an agent. Memory is layered by how long it should live.

harness engineering
Claude is the brain. This is the body.
A model alone just answers questions. What makes it dependable enough to run a business on is the
harness around it - the same operational scaffolding wraps every agent across our platforms.
80/20harness / model
The Harness - ~80%
The Model - ~20%
Most AI failures aren't model failures. A brilliant model wrapped in a weak harness still loses
context, drifts off-task, and fails silently - the engineering around the model is what actually
makes it dependable.
Claude
the reasoning engine
01
Feed It
The system prompt, the ask, and everything said so far - job description, the request, the full chat history.
→
02
Memory
What it knows about the platform, held long-term - not just what's happened in this one conversation.
→
03
The Loop
Act, use a tool, check the result, repeat - until the job is actually done, not just attempted.
→
04
Evaluation
Every output gets graded against what it was supposed to do - so a confident wrong answer gets caught, not just an unconfident one. The grade feeds back into the loop.
↻ evaluation feeds back into the loop
Every agent we ship - TraxSail AI, TraxKey AI, and our In Development platforms - runs
through this exact harness. New techniques earn their way in through the same evaluation
loop before they touch a client platform. That discipline is the product, as much as the
model underneath it.
