Our work

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

Every engagement is shaped by a specific client and a specific problem — sometimes an app, sometimes a workflow, sometimes both. Below are what we're currently building or have delivered.

End-to-end ranch management platform

What started as a way to track and measure ranch KPIs has grown into an end-to-end management platform — pulling data from spreadsheets, QuickBooks, weather services, and cattle markets into a single source of truth, with AI agents available across the platform to answer questions and surface analysis on demand.

Ranch management platform dashboard — sidebar nav for KPIs, hedging, weather, field map, finance, cattle, and documents; alerts panel; AI-driven field insights with chat input
Every module the ranch needs in one view — with AI chat at the bottom so anything not on a dashboard is one question away.

The problem

The data needed to run a multi-location cattle operation — inventory, weather, financials, hedging positions, CRP contracts, field maps — lived in spreadsheets, paper, separate apps, or nowhere at all. Decisions that depended on connecting those dots (how did weather affect this year's margins? what percentage of our position is hedged today? which CRP contract covers this field?) were slow or impossible to answer.

Our approach

We started narrow — measuring the KPIs that mattered most — and let the platform grow as the ranch's needs surfaced. Each new module pulls into a shared SQL database, so the next module can ask cross-cutting questions the previous one couldn't. AI chat is wired throughout so managers can pull anything that isn't already on a dashboard.

What it does today

KPI tracking

The starting point — measurable operational and financial performance over time, surfaced where stakeholders 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 precipitation by location — so a tough year can be put in real context against the KPIs 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

Real-time herd visibility across every location the operation runs.

Hedging & markets

LRP contracts and futures positions captured in one view, so managers always know exactly what's hedged and what's exposed.

Maps & land management

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

AI agents & chat

Embedded throughout the platform so users can query, chart, and analyze any data in the system without waiting for a new dashboard.

  • Replaces a patchwork of spreadsheets, paper, and standalone apps with one source of truth
  • Connects cause and effect across weather, markets, financials, and operations
  • Owned by the client, supported by Ranch Pulse — built to keep growing with the operation

Large-animal veterinarians

In progress

VetLens — a practice app for large-animal vets

VetLens is an app for large-animal vets working across beef, dairy, feedyards, and anywhere else the job takes them — bringing pregnancy checks, customer relationship notes, and animal history into one place, with knowledge-graph and embedding-based search so any past detail is one question away.

VetLens — list of ranches a vet manages across multiple states
Every customer in one place, with sync state always visible.
VetLens — ranch detail screen with KPIs, preg-check actions, and AI search
Per-ranch KPIs, quick actions, and ask-anything AI search.

The problem

Most existing tools are built for a single operation. A vet who moves between beef ranches, dairies, feedyards, and other customers ends up rebuilding context every visit — and the free-form notes they took last time are hard to find when they need them. Recalling what happened with a specific cow, or what a producer mentioned three visits ago, turns into a memory problem.

Our approach

We're building around how large-animal vets actually work: many customers, many animals, notes taken in the moment that have to be retrievable later — regardless of the setting. Under the hood, every note and record is indexed with a knowledge graph and embeddings, so a question like "what's going on with cow 4421?" surfaces every relevant prior visit, not just exact text matches.

What it does today

Multi-site practice management

One app across every customer the vet sees — beef ranches, dairies, feedyards, and beyond — instead of one tool per operation.

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 specific cow and surface every prior visit, treatment, and note tied to that animal.

Knowledge-graph + embedding search

Find past detail by meaning, not just keyword — across animals, ranches, and notes.

Chute-side ready

Designed for the realities of the job: gloves, sun, speed, and intermittent connectivity.

  • Built for vets who work across many operations, not one
  • Your notes, your way — searchable later by meaning, not just keywords
  • Animal history is one question away

Daily cattle market briefing — an AI-agent workflow

An automated workflow of cooperating AI agents that runs before sunrise every morning — scraping market news, pulling live futures and cash data, cross-referencing the ranch's own herd and hedge position, and delivering a structured briefing the manager reads with their morning 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 every morning means reading a dozen sources — CME, USDA, the Drought Monitor, Cattle on Feed reports, trade press — and then cross-referencing them with the ranch's own positions to figure out what matters. By the time you're done, the morning is gone.

Our approach

We built a workflow of cooperating AI agents that pull from public data feeds and market sources, normalize and verify the numbers, cross-reference the ranch's herd inventory and LRP / futures coverage from the platform's own database, and produce a single structured briefing. It runs before sunrise and lands in the inbox before the manager pours their 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

Joins market data against the ranch's own herd inventory and hedge positions, so the recommendations 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

Specialized agents handle scraping, verification, summarization, and recommendation drafting — orchestrated end-to-end, no human glue work in between.

Honest about data gaps

When a source is unavailable — a connector down, a holiday close — the briefing flags the gap explicitly instead of papering over it.

Delivered for the morning routine

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

  • From hours of source-hopping to a five-minute read with morning coffee
  • Hedge guidance tied to the actual herd and positions, not generic templates
  • Honest about data gaps — flags them rather than papering over
