Why AI spend stalls

The tools alone don’t build the capability.

Pick a problem worth solving.

Find where work is slow, expensive, or difficult, and where AI could make a meaningful difference.

Get beyond a few power users.

Help engineering and business teams learn on their own work, with verification and support they can keep using.

Know whether it’s working.

Measure what gets faster, whether quality holds up, and what it costs.

Where we learned it
Our learning playground · ButterTrip

Our playground for learning what works with AI.

ButterTrip is the group travel app we build and maintain across web, iOS, and Android. It’s also our learning playground: a real product where we continually test new models, tools, and techniques.

Your team has a roadmap to deliver. We have room to explore, learn what holds up, and bring that experience to your company.

What ButterTrip taught us

Lesson 1

Greater AI autonomy requires rigorous verification.

We test the limits on real work and establish what evidence makes a result dependable.

Lesson 2

The right setup lets more people build.

Clear boundaries and reliable verification let people without engineering backgrounds build useful features.
