AI for retail& consumer apps
Whether you’re shipping a consumer app or scaling personalized content, the hard part is turning messy real-world input into something useful. We build the AI that does it — beautifully.
Consumer and retail products live or die on experience — and the experiences that feel like magic are usually an AI quietly doing something tedious in the background. Reading a crumpled receipt, scoring a basket of groceries, or turning one marketing template into a thousand personalized versions — all unglamorous, all perfect for an agent.
We build both the polished consumer-facing app and the personalization engine behind the scenes. Two examples, both shipped.
What consumer brands keeps asking AI to do
Consumer mobile apps
Native iOS/Android apps with AI baked in — computer vision, on-device speed, and an interface that feels delightful rather than clinical.
Receipt & document intelligence
Turn photos, receipts, and PDFs into structured, scored data — extraction and analysis that would take a person hours, done in seconds.
Personalized content at scale
One source document becomes thousands of on-brand, personalized versions — tailored to each customer, segment, or prospect, generated on demand.
What we've built for consumer products
A consumer app and a personalization engine — two sides of AI for retail.

Green Ledger — grocery intelligence in your pocket
Green Ledger (GLIA) is an iOS app that scans a grocery receipt with computer vision and scores the basket using HEI-2015, the Harvard Healthy Eating Index — not a vague “good/bad” label, but a real nutrition-science score, wrapped in a delightful, hand-illustrated interface. It’s proof that consumer AI can be both rigorous and a pleasure to use.

Personalization engine
Handyy — personalized documents at scale
Handyy — one of our own products — takes a single marketing document, lets you describe exactly who it’s for, and generates a branded, personalized PDF in minutes. Upload once, and the same engine can spin out thousands of tailored versions, each one researched and on-brand. It’s the content-personalization pattern any consumer brand can put to work.
Built on Next.js and Vertex AI, with simple per-document pricing.
Why custom beats a no-code wrapper
Consumers can smell generic. A no-code AI wrapper gives you the same chatbot everyone else has; a custom build gives you a defensible experience — your data, your model choices, your design language, and an interface tuned to the one job your users actually came for.
And because you own the code and the cloud, your unit economics are yours too — no per-seat tax that scales against you as the app grows.
How we work
- Fixed scope and a fixed price — quoted in 24 hours, no hourly surprises.
- A working system in 4-6 weeks, with weekly demos you actually see.
- You own the code and the cloud from day one — no lock-in.
