What We Do

Everything
to ship.

We advise, operate, and build — all under one roof. No handoffs to junior teams. No slides without follow-through.

Work with us
🧭

AI Strategy & Consulting

Honest, grounded AI strategy — where it creates real leverage for your business, and where it doesn't. No hype.

⚙️

Product Operations

We embed directly as operators — running sprints, setting priorities, driving outcomes like a co-founder at your side.

🛠️

Custom Tool Building

Internal dashboards, AI-powered automations, client-facing apps. Built exactly for your workflow, not from a template.

🤖

LLM Integration

Production-grade AI features — retrieval, agents, structured outputs — integrated cleanly into your existing systems.

Process Automation

Map, redesign, and automate your core workflows. We find the hours your team loses every week and give them back.

🚀

Rapid Prototyping

From idea to working prototype in days, not months. Pressure-test concepts fast — invest only in what works.

How We Work

Operators,
not advisors.

Most consultants hand you a slide deck and disappear. We stay, build, and operate. Every engagement ends with working software — not a playbook collecting dust.

Step 01

Discovery & Audit

We spend the first week understanding your workflows, tools, team structure, and pain points. No templates — every engagement starts with listening.

Step 02

Strategy & Scope

A clear path: what to build, where AI applies, what to skip. We agree on a tight scope before writing a line of code.

Step 03

Build & Iterate

Fast sprints, real feedback loops. We ship working software weekly and adjust based on what your team actually does with it.

Step 04

Operate & Improve

We stay on to run the systems we build. Monitoring, improvements, new features — tools don't go stale when the project closes.

Tools We Build

Software for
real work.

About

Built by
operators.

OpenBasics is a small, senior team. We've shipped products inside startups, managed operations at scale, and integrated AI into workflows that people depend on daily.

"We founded OpenBasics because strategy without software is just a document."

We work with a focused set of clients at a time — no factories, no junior-heavy delivery. When you work with OpenBasics, you get the people who designed the engagement doing the actual work.
