AI build studio · remote-first

AI builds for founders who need to ship.

Custom apps, AI agents, AI features inside existing products, and workflow automation. Built fast, owned by you.

What we build

One build studio. Four shapes of work.

Every engagement is bespoke. There's no template. There is a stack we like and a methodology that gets things shipped in days, not months.

Apps

Full-stack web and mobile apps for operations: dashboards, internal tools, data products. TypeScript and Python, deployed on Vercel and Supabase.

Agents

Domain-specific AI agents that take a workflow off your team's plate. Sourcing, screening, support, ops. Claude-native, observable, owned.

AI features

AI capability shipped into an existing product. We bolt on, integrate, and hand back. No rewrites, no rebuilds, no rip-and-replace.

Automation

The connective tissue between systems. Real code, not no-code. APIs, queues, transforms. Built to be maintained, not maintained by us.

How we work

Start small. Continue if it's working.

Every engagement begins with a Sprint Zero. Two weeks, fixed fee, a working prototype in your hands. From there, you can put us on retainer or move to a project quote.

Step one

Sprint Zero

€5,000 / two weeks

A working prototype that proves the idea, scoped and shipped in two weeks.

  • One discovery call
  • Shipped on day 14
  • Source code yours
  • Fixed fee, no overruns
Continuation

Retainer

€8,000 / month

Ongoing build capacity for founders who keep finding things to ship.

  • One build day per week
  • Async-friendly cadence
  • Roll over unused capacity
  • Cancel any month
Continuation

Project

from €20,000

Fixed scope, fixed fee, fixed timeline. For a build that has clear edges.

  • Defined deliverable
  • Quoted after Sprint Zero
  • Milestone billing
  • Six-week typical scope
What we've built

Twenty years of building.

Glandore Systems has been building for years. Recruitment platforms, ATSs, BI tools, HR software, mobile apps, big-data systems. Across staffing, fintech, property, energy, and the occasional left-field project. What's changed is the focus and the stack: Claude-native, Snowflake-backed, AI-first, built to move fast.

Our point of view

What we believe.

Claude-first.

We default to Anthropic's models because they're the best general-purpose tools for production work right now. We'll switch if the data changes.

TypeScript and Python only.

A focused stack ships faster and breaks less. Vercel, Supabase, FastAPI, Node. No Rails, no PHP, no Java.

Data is the moat.

The AI is the surface, but the data behind it is what makes it useful. When it's the right call, we love a data-driven Snowflake architecture.

What we don't do

No is also a position.

  • Enterprise procurement work. No 90-day legals, no RFP responses, no SOC2 attestations on day one.
  • Long discovery phases. If we can't ship a working prototype in two weeks, we're the wrong shop.
  • No-code or low-code builds. No Bubble, no Webflow, no Glide. We write production-grade code that you own.
