Ship in Weeks. Not Quarters.
Senior engineers paired with AI systems that multiply output. Full-stack products, AI workflows, and infrastructure — delivered at a pace agencies can't match.
Numbers Don't Lie.
Every sprint. Every client. These are the standards we hold ourselves to.
Kick-off → Production
Average Sprint Duration
Signed contract to live deployment. Two weeks, every time. While your competitors are still writing briefs.
vs. Traditional Dev
Faster Than Hiring
You'd still be writing job specs. We'd already be in production. AI-augmented senior engineers don't do slow.
No Scope Creep. Ever.
Fixed Price Guarantee
The price we quote is the price you pay. No hourly billing, no change requests that cost extra. One number, one delivery.

Pick a sprint. We handle the rest. Every engagement is fixed-price, fixed-scope, and ships on time.
MVP Sprint
2 Weeks
From napkin sketch to live product in 14 days. Full-stack build, cloud infra, CI/CD, and docs included. Walk into your investor meeting with a working product, not a pitch deck.
Feature Sprint
2 Weeks
That critical feature blocking your enterprise deals? Done in two weeks. Spec, build, test, deploy, handoff. Your team stays focused — we handle the overflow.
Infra Sprint
2 Weeks
Your deploys take 2 hours and break on Fridays. We'll fix that. CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, cloud optimisation, security hardening, and runbooks that actually get read.
AI Workflow Engineering
2-4 Weeks
Not another ChatGPT wrapper. Production-grade AI systems — multi-agent orchestration, LLM pipelines, RAG that actually retrieves, and automation that runs while you sleep.
API & Integration Dev
1-2 Weeks
Your tools don't talk to each other. We fix that. Clean REST/GraphQL APIs, third-party integrations, data pipelines, and webhook orchestration that just works.
Retainer Partnership
Ongoing
A senior engineering team on speed dial without the £120K salary. Priority access, monthly sprints, and continuous product development. Scale up or down as you need.
Not sure which sprint fits? We'll tell you in 15 minutes.
Book a 15-min CallAI Engineering. Not AI Hype.
90% of "AI companies" are wrappers around ChatGPT. We build the real thing — production systems that run, learn, and scale.
Intelligent Agent Systems
AI agents that actually do work — not chatbots wearing a suit. Multi-agent orchestration, autonomous workflows, and memory systems that learn your business.
LLM Integration & Fine-tuning
OpenAI, Anthropic, open-source — we don't pick favourites. Custom pipelines that route, chain, and optimise LLM calls for maximum output at minimum cost.
RAG & Knowledge Systems
Your company data is trapped in PDFs and Notion pages. We turn it into a searchable, intelligent knowledge base that answers questions in seconds.
AI-Powered Automation
If a human is copy-pasting between spreadsheets, we can automate it. Workflow automation, data extraction, and intelligent routing that scales without hiring.

Idea to Production in 14 Days
Four steps. No surprises. Here's exactly how every sprint works.
Discovery
15-min Call
15 minutes. No pitch decks, no sales reps. You talk to the engineer who'll build your product. We scope it live.
Planning
Day 1
Detailed spec, milestones, and acceptance criteria locked in writing. You'll know exactly what you're getting before we write a single line of code.
Build
Days 2-12
Daily async updates — you see real progress every single day. AI-augmented senior engineers working at 5x the velocity of a traditional team.
Handoff
Days 13-14
Deployed to production. Full documentation. Complete knowledge transfer. You own every line of code. Walk away whenever you want — most clients don't.
Senior engineers governed by ex-Big 4, HMRC, and global programme leadership. Your code, not ours.

We're not an agency. We're not freelancers. We're your unfair advantage.
AI-Augmented Speed
Our engineers write production code 5x faster using AI systems they've built themselves. Not a gimmick — every commit is reviewed by senior engineers who've shipped at scale.
Senior Engineering, Not Juniors
Governed by an ex-Big 4 director, HMRC product lead, and ex-global programme director. No grad devs learning on your dime. AI amplifies senior output — you get experience and velocity.
Fixed Price, No Surprises
We quote it, we build it, you pay it. No scope creep. No “we need another sprint.” No invoices that make you wince. The price is the price.
Your Code, Zero Lock-In
Full ownership. Full documentation. We hand over everything. If you want to walk away after delivery, you can. (Most clients don’t.)

MVP Sprint → Production in 12 days
"We needed to ship our MVP before our seed round closed. 1aym delivered in 12 days — production-ready, not a prototype. Investors were genuinely impressed we moved that fast. Would have taken 3 months with a hire."
12 days → Production MVP
Alex T.
Founder & CEO, Stealth Fintech (Seed)
Feature Sprint → Enterprise blocker shipped
"Had a critical feature blocking three enterprise deals. Our team was at capacity. 1aym ran a Feature Sprint and shipped it in 2 weeks. Clean code, full docs, zero drama. We're on our third sprint now."
2 weeks → 3 enterprise deals closed
Sarah M.
CTO, UK B2B SaaS (Series A)
Infra Sprint → CI/CD overhaul
"Our CI/CD was a disaster — 2-hour deploys, breaking on Fridays, the works. After their Infra Sprint, deploys take 5 minutes. Fixed price, no surprises. Wish I'd found them sooner."
2 hours → 5 minutes deploy time
Josh K.
Founder & CTO, UK Dev Tools Startup
MVP Sprint → Shipped on day 14
"Honestly? I was sceptical about the 2-week timeline. They hit it to the day. Daily updates, no excuses, shipped on day 14. Code quality was better than our own team's. I've sent them three referrals since."
Exactly 2 weeks → 3 founder referrals
