WHY OUR SYSTEMS HOLD

A Nukes AI engineer at work on a live system

Most AI collapses the first time it meets genuine operational complexity. We build systems that keep deciding while workflows, data and people shift underneath.

WHAT WE BUILD

Systems That Ship

Four lines of work — from automation to the software that carries it.

001.

AI AUTOMATION BUILD

Automate the Work

We hand the repetitive half of an operation to systems built to run it the same way at 3am and at noon.

Documents sorted into lanes by an automated triage pass

002.

002.

CUSTOM SOFTWARE BUILD

Web, API and Backend

We design and build the software your operation actually needs, not the one a platform happens to sell you.

SHOPIFY AND HYDROGEN

Storefronts That Sell

We build and migrate online storefronts on Shopify and Hydrogen, because there, page speed is what sets the conversion rate.

SYSTEM OUTPUT

Everything above produces the same four things —
a system that runs, and the evidence that it does.

© ‒ 001.

A named inventory

Every workflow, source and decision point written down once, in the language the team already uses for them.

© ‒ 002.

An executable plan

The audit turned into an architecture you can run, review and argue with, rather than a slide about one.

© ‒ 003.

Agents with edges

Bounded behaviour, logged decisions, and a person who owns each one of them.

© ‒ 004.

Work that holds

The part nobody sells: the system still doing its job in month nine, under load, with the data it actually gets.

© ‒ 005.

Evidence, not claims

Numbers you can check, against a baseline we measured together before anything changed.

FIRST 90 DAYS

What the first ninety days look

like on a Nukes AI build.

The studio is new and says so. The people
in it have shipped this work before.

Days 1 — 10

Audit and map

We trace how the work moves before anything gets automated.

Days 10 — 25

Design the system

Architecture, data contracts, and where a person stays in the loop.

Days 25 — 60

Build and integrate

Shipped in tight loops against your real data and real edge cases.

Days 60 — 90

Run and retune

Live, monitored, and tuned against what the system actually meets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions
that count

A plain set of answers on how we build,
ship and run software and automation.

Both, and usually in the same engagement. Nukes AI runs four practices — AI automation, custom web and backend software, Shopify and Hydrogen commerce, and mobile apps — because an automation that has nowhere to write its result is not finished, and a storefront that nobody can operate is not either. The four are staffed by the same people to the same standard.

No. The model is one layer of a system that is mostly ours: retrieval that reads your own records, a policy layer that decides what an agent may act on, and an execution path that writes back into the tools you already run. Answers are grounded in retrieved records and checked before they are used, and where confidence is low the system escalates instead of guessing. Swap the model out and the system keeps working, because the reasoning about your business does not live in the prompt.

Yes. We integrate through the APIs, databases and internal services you already have, and we adapt the architecture to your stack rather than asking you to adopt ours. Nothing here expects a migration, and nothing here expects your team to work outside the tools they know.

Security is an architectural choice made at the start, not a review at the end. Access is scoped per agent, storage is encrypted in transit and at rest, and processing runs in isolated environments under your own retention rules. We work to India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 at home, to the GDPR in the EEA, the UK GDPR and the CCPA/CPRA in California where your business brings them into scope, and will sign whatever else your own regime requires. Your records stay yours, and every read an agent makes is logged.

Discovery and strategy starts at $2,500 and takes two to three weeks; system design starts at $6,000; a full deployment and integration starts at $12,000 and typically runs four to eight weeks. The prices are on the site because the alternative is a discovery call whose real purpose is working out what you can afford. Scope is agreed in writing before anything starts.

The principles the studio works to, set out on one plate

(nai™ — 15)

Our principles

What We
Believe

The rules we hold ourselves to on every system we put into production.

We believe automation should carry all the dull work, never the judgement. If a build can’t be watched, questioned and put right — it doesn’t ship.

We don’t automate everything we could. We automate what pays, and keep every system legible to the people who answer for it.
