Small businesses
You're running the business on a stack of tools that don't really talk to each other. We replace the duct tape with AI-assisted software that fits how your team actually works, without hiring a full engineer.

I'm a solo developer who builds with AI coding agents and modern tools. You get the speed of a small team without the overhead of hiring one. Tell me what you need. A few weeks later, you're using it.
New studio, taking on our first commissions of 2026. AI-assisted delivery means faster prototypes and fewer handoffs. Founder-led, so you talk directly to whoever is building your product.

Who we help
You focus on the business. We build the technology.
One team doing the work you'd normally split across five or six freelancers. One point of contact, one system that fits together.
Founders
You have paying customers and a clear idea. What you don't have is a year to find a technical co-founder. Our AI-native workflow gets an MVP in front of users in weeks, not months.
Growing companies
Your roadmap is longer than your engineering team. We plug in with agentic workflows and custom code for the next quarter of shipping, then step back once it's out the door.
Services
Everything you'd staff an engineering team for.
Pick a project or engage us continuously. One integrated team, one point of contact.
Agentic systems & AI workflows
Custom AI agents that handle intake, research, drafting, or routing. Built to plug into your existing tools, not replace your team.
Website development
Marketing sites that load fast, rank, and can be edited by someone on your team without opening a support ticket.
Web applications
Custom software for the parts of your business that don't fit into Notion, Airtable, or an off-the-shelf SaaS.
AI integrations
LLM-powered features wired into your product: summarization, extraction, search, and routing. We skip the demo and ship the workflow.
Business automation
The tools you already pay for, connected. Leads land in your CRM, invoices go out, reports write themselves.
Internal tools
Dashboards, admin panels, and ops tools your team opens every morning instead of another spreadsheet.
MVP development
A working product in front of real users in six to ten weeks. Built to be extended, not thrown away.
Ongoing development
A retained team by the month. Continuous shipping without the overhead of running a payroll.
How we work
Agentic speed with human checkpoints.
AI coding agents do the heavy lifting. I stay in the loop at every step that matters, so you get speed without giving up judgment.
01
Plan
Human-ledWe start with your business, your users, and the problem. I write a short scope doc and a plan. No code is written until you sign off.
Checkpoint: You approve the scope before we start building.
02
Code
AI agentsAI coding agents generate the first pass: components, APIs, and migrations. I steer them, fix errors, and keep the architecture coherent.
Checkpoint: I review every generated file before it moves on.
03
Test
AI + humanAutomated tests run alongside the code. I add edge cases, check the critical paths, and make sure the feature actually works.
Checkpoint: Tests must pass before we move to review.
04
Review
Human checkpointThis is the gate. I read the code, tighten the UX, and run security checks. AI moves fast; I decide what is ready to ship.
Checkpoint: Nothing ships without my manual review.
05
Deploy
Human-approvedWe push to a staging environment so you can use it. Once you sign off, it goes live. I handle hosting, domains, and monitoring.
Checkpoint: You sign off before the final launch.
The goal is simple: move faster than a traditional team, but keep every important decision in human hands. The AI helps me code; I own the result.
Quality & Guardrails
AI speeds up the work. These guardrails keep it reliable.
AI output is verified
Every line generated by an AI agent is read, tested, and refined before it ships. I don't trust output I can't explain. If the AI produces something that doesn't match the plan, it gets rewritten.
Automated tests run before review
I write tests for the critical paths: user flows, API contracts, and edge cases. Tests run on every change. A failing test means nothing moves forward.
Security is built in
No secrets in code, strict input validation, least-privilege access, and dependency checks for known vulnerabilities. If something is outside my comfort zone, I bring in a specialist or tell you upfront.
Human review at every gate
AI handles the boilerplate. I handle architecture, UX, and final sign-off. You talk to the same person from kickoff to launch, and nothing ships without my manual review.
Work
Built with AI agents, reviewed by a human.
These are the kinds of projects we ship. AI handles the repetitive parts; I handle architecture, review, and delivery.

AI agentEmail parsingSlack
From raw inbox to routed leads
Before
40+ raw enquiry emails a week. Someone had to read every one, guess the intent, and forward it manually. Response time was usually one to two days, and good leads went cold.
After
An AI agent reads and tags each enquiry, routes high-intent leads to the right Slack channel, and files the rest. The team now replies to serious prospects in under two hours.

Agentic delivery: I built a custom AI agent that parses email and form submissions, classifies intent, and posts structured summaries to the right channel. I wrote the routing logic, review the edge cases, and own the prompts.

Booking and payment without the back-and-forth
Before
Customers booked by phone or DM. The owner sent availability by hand, chased deposits, and manually updated a paper diary. No-shows cost real money.
After
Customers pick a slot, pay, and reschedule themselves. The owner sees everything in one place and gets paid before the appointment starts.

Job status, invoices, and client notes lived across five shared spreadsheets. Nobody trusted the numbers, and the owner spent Friday evenings reconciling by hand.
After
A single dashboard shows jobs, invoices, status, and weekly revenue in real time. The owner knows the state of the business in ten seconds.

A note from the founder
Why work with someone new.
GivenTake is a new studio. That means there’s no case-study reel yet, and I’m not going to fabricate one to fill the page.
What you get instead is direct access to the person actually building your product. No project manager relaying to a junior dev, no agency layer between you and the work. If something is slow, or unclear, or wrong, you’re talking to whoever can fix it.
I build with AI coding agents and modern tools. That means I can prototype faster, write less boilerplate, and spend more time on the parts that actually need judgment: architecture, UX, and making sure the thing solves your problem. It’s not magic, and it’s not a replacement for thinking. It’s just a better way to ship.
Early clients also get closer attention and more flexible scoping than an established agency has time for. Rates reflect a team building its own track record, not agency overhead.
If that lines up with what you need, let’s talk.
