Our work

Custom apps and AI workflows, built for the people doing the work.

Each project is for a particular client with a particular problem. Sometimes that's an app, sometimes a workflow, sometimes both. Here's what we're building now and what we've already shipped.

End-to-end ranch management platform

This started as a way to track ranch KPIs. It grew into a full management platform that pulls spreadsheets, QuickBooks, weather, and cattle markets into one place. Managers can also ask the system questions instead of waiting on a new report.

Ranch management platform dashboard with sidebar nav for KPIs, hedging, weather, field map, finance, cattle, and documents, plus an alerts panel and chat input
Every module in one view. Chat at the bottom if something isn't already on the dashboard.

The problem

Inventory, weather, financials, hedges, CRP contracts, and field maps lived in spreadsheets, on paper, in separate apps, or nowhere. Connecting those dots took too long. How did weather hit this year's margins? How much of the position is hedged today? Which CRP contract covers this field? Those answers were slow or didn't exist.

Our approach

We started small, with the KPIs that mattered most, and grew the platform as the ranch asked for more. Each new piece lands in the same database, so later work can answer questions the first version couldn't. Chat is wired in so managers can pull anything that isn't already on a screen.

What it does today

KPI tracking

The starting point. Operational and financial numbers over time, shown where people actually look.

Spreadsheet ingestion

Ranch data lives in spreadsheets. We pull it into SQL automatically so the team keeps working the way they already do.

Weather data

Temperature, humidity, and rain by location, so a tough year can be lined up against the numbers it affected.

QuickBooks integration

Financial data lives alongside operational data, so financial KPIs sit next to the ranch numbers that drive them.

Multi-location cattle inventory

See the herd at every location the operation runs.

Hedging & markets

LRP contracts and futures in one view, so you know what's covered and what isn't.

Maps & land management

Farm / Tract / Field numbering tied to real geography, plus CRP contract tracking and crop planning in one place.

AI agents & chat

Ask a question, chart something, or dig into any of the data without waiting for a new dashboard.

  • Puts the spreadsheets, paper, and extra apps into one place
  • Lets you see how weather, markets, and the books actually line up
  • The ranch owns it. We keep supporting it, and it can keep growing.

Large-animal veterinarians

In progress

VetLens — a practice app for large-animal vets

VetLens is for large-animal vets who bounce between beef, dairy, feedyards, and whatever else the day holds. Preg checks, customer notes, and animal history live in one app. Ask a question and it finds the old detail, even if you didn't file it perfectly.

Every customer in one place, with sync state always visible.

Per-ranch numbers, quick actions, and search.

The problem

Most tools are built for one ranch. A vet who works beef, dairy, feedyards, and other customers has to rebuild the picture every visit. Last trip's notes are hard to find. What happened with that cow, or what the producer mentioned three visits ago, becomes a memory test.

Our approach

We're building it the way the job actually works. Lots of customers, lots of animals, notes taken in the moment that you need to find later. Ask "what's going on with cow 4421?" and it brings back the relevant visits, not just exact keyword hits.

What it does today

Multi-site practice management

One app for every customer the vet sees. Beef, dairy, feedyards, and the rest. Not one tool per ranch.

Pregnancy checks

Capture and track preg-check results animal by animal, customer by customer.

Customer relationship notes

Free-form notes from the visit, captured your way and structured behind the scenes.

Animal history on demand

Ask about a cow and see the visits, treatments, and notes tied to her.

Knowledge-graph + embedding search

Find old detail by what it meant, not just the words you happened to type.

Chute-side ready

Meant for gloves, sun, speed, and a spotty signal.

  • Built for vets who work across many operations, not one
  • Write notes your way. Find them later by meaning, not just keywords.
  • Look up an animal's history by asking.

Daily cattle market briefing — an AI-agent workflow

Every morning before sunrise, a set of AI jobs scrape market news, pull live futures and cash, check them against the ranch's own herd and hedges, and send a briefing the manager can read with coffee.

Sample briefing

May 27, 2026

Daily Cattle Market Briefing

TL;DR

  • •LC Jun/Aug26 outlook: bearish-to-stable, medium confidence (heavy front-end supply, but cash still firm)
  • •FC Aug/Sep26 outlook: bearish, medium-high confidence (placements up 6%, feeder index $370+ well above futures)
  • •Action this week: tighten downside protection on near-shipment fed cattle and any uncovered summer feeders

Why the market moved

LC Jun26 (LEM26): $248.22, -$1.07 / -0.43% vs prior close

FC Aug26 (GFQ26): $349.45, -$0.40 / -0.11% vs prior close

Catalyst: Continuation of Thursday's limit-down break in FC — consumer-demand fears into Memorial Day weekend, plus pre-positioning ahead of Friday's Cattle on Feed report.

+ Fundamentals · World news · U.S. / Midwest news · Technicals · Money flow · Supply & demand · Hedging recommendation

Informational only. Not financial advice.

Delivered every morning before sunrise. A five-minute read with the day's research already done.

The problem

Reading the cattle markets in the morning means hitting CME, USDA, the Drought Monitor, Cattle on Feed, and the trade press, then checking it against your own positions. By the time you're done, the morning is gone.

Our approach

We built a chain of AI jobs that pull public market data, check the numbers, compare them to the ranch's inventory and LRP or futures coverage, and write one briefing. It runs before sunrise and is in the inbox before coffee.

What it does today

Daily market scrape

Pulls live CME futures, cash trade prints, USDA reports, drought maps, and trade press every morning, then verifies the numbers across sources.

Ranch-specific cross-reference

It uses the ranch's own inventory and hedges, so the takeaways are about your cattle, not a generic template.

Same structure every day

TL;DR → why the market moved → fundamentals → technicals → money flow → hedging guidance. Predictable enough to read in five minutes.

Cooperating AI agents

Separate jobs scrape, check, summarize, and draft the recommendation. No one has to glue the pieces together by hand.

Honest about data gaps

If a source is down or the market is closed for a holiday, the briefing says so. It doesn't fake a complete picture.

Delivered for the morning routine

Queued before sunrise, in the inbox before coffee. A five-minute read with the day's research already done.

  • Turns a morning of tab-hopping into a five-minute read with coffee
  • Hedge guidance tied to the actual herd and positions, not generic templates
  • Calls out missing data instead of hiding it

Got something in mind? We don't take every project, but we're always up for a conversation.
