WEB ENGINEERING · AI SYSTEMS

Code that holds under load. Systems you never rebuild.

We build digital products and embed AI into business operations — from architecture to production. Every project is bespoke engineering with a measurable outcome, not a template with the client’s logo.

LIVE SYSTEMS, NOT RENDERS

We show working systems,
not stock imagery.

The product interfaces below are generated in code and mirror the kinds of systems we build: dashboards, agent orchestration, deploy consoles. On-screen data is illustrative.

MANIFESTO

An impression fades in a week. A system runs for years.

Every project starts with a process map, not a mockup: what connects to what, which data crosses system boundaries, who owns a failure. We remove manual work wherever a decision can be handed to code — and keep a human wherever the cost of error is high.

The result is not a website or a bot — it’s an operating system for your business that keeps running long after the team has closed out the project.

01

Numbers over opinions

Every architectural decision is tied to a metric — response time, cost per request, hours taken off the team’s plate. If an effect can’t be measured, it doesn’t make the report.
Metric
02

A system, not a prototype

We engineer for the load you’ll face a year from now, not for a demo slide. Code is load-tested before the first user ever sees it.
Production
03

Accountability after handover

We stay engaged after launch: monitoring failures, reading logs, tuning the system for real traffic — instead of closing the project with a sign-off document.
SLA
EXPERTISE

Five disciplines under one
line of accountability

Web engineering, product design, AI integration, data and automation, brand and growth run as a single process — not five separate contracts. One team carries each project end to end, with no context lost between phases.

01

Web engineering

Production-grade architecture and code: server-side rendering, disciplined state management, infrastructure sized for peak load. Every release is load-tested before handover.
SSR · perf · CI/CD
02

Product design

Interfaces are built from business logic and user scenarios, not visual trends. States, failures, empty screens, and accessibility are designed in at the prototype stage. Every decision is justified by a metric.
UX · design system
03

AI integration

Automation is embedded into the systems you already run — CRM, document workflows, support. Access rights, logging, and human checkpoints are part of the architecture from day one.
integration · access · monitoring
04

Data & automation

Manual operations move into pipelines: collecting, cleaning, labeling, and passing data between systems without human touch. Every process is documented and reproducible.
ETL · orchestration
05

Brand & growth

Positioning, visual language, and acquisition channels come together as one system with a shared metric. The identity holds its shape on any medium — from the interface to out-of-home.

AI IN OPERATIONS

Intelligence works inside your operations —
not on top of the interface

Agents, RAG, and copilots connect to your company’s real data and policies — and hold production load, not demo load. Results are measured in hours freed and approval cycles shortened, not in feature counts.

AI agents

Replace manual handling of requests, emails, and tickets: the agent reads the context, acts within its access policy, and escalates only the edge cases.

escalation — edge cases only

RAG on your data

The model answers from your internal knowledge bases and policies — no training on third-party data, nothing leaves your perimeter. Every answer traces back to its source document.

source — down to the document

Process automation

We wire CRM, email, document workflows, and internal systems into one loop: data moves between services with no manual re-entry.

0 manual re-entry

Copilots

An assistant inside your product or CRM interface: it suggests the next step, drafts the document, pulls up the record — without switching windows.

inside the interface

LLM integrations

We connect models via API to your existing infrastructure: task queues, webhooks, access rights, and logging work exactly as they do in the rest of the system.

API-first

Analytics & forecasting

The model finds patterns in operational data and predicts the likely outcome — churn, demand, load — before it shows up as a line in the quarterly report.

The four case studies below are the showcase. Full write-ups — architecture, stack, and the hard engineering problems — live in the portfolio.

In-house product2025—2026

Unified team operating platform: planning, AI agents, execution control

Planify started as a personal planner and grew into a team operating platform. A Telegram bot and an HTTP API run in a single FastAPI process on Supabase, with an AI layer on top: turning chat threads into tasks, transcribing calls into minutes, a daily planning digest, and background control agents. The system runs in production with a real team and grows through modules the owner switches on as needed.

Agro holding2026

Digital backbone for a nationwide agro holding: marketplace, CRM, lead generation

For a nationwide supplier of seeds and crop protection products, we built a complex of three connected parts: a public B2B agro marketplace, a product CRM for farmers with a working personal dashboard, and field print materials for an industry trade show. The marketplace runs on real data — profiles, offers, requests, deals, auctions via Supabase Realtime. The project is in active development: some connectors are live, some dashboards are still showcase.

Padel club chain2026

Video infrastructure for a sports chain: from court booking to player highlight reel

We built a video platform that turns court cameras into personal highlight reels for players, on top of the wristband tracking software the club already runs. Separately, we designed a bridge to the external booking CRM with two-way slot synchronization, and moved the chain’s landing page to code-based editing.

Composite rebar manufacturer2025—2026

Autonomous outbound sales engine for an industrial manufacturer

The AI sales engine deploys on top of the real corporate mailbox of a composite rebar manufacturer’s sales team. It connects over IMAP, reconstructs the correspondence history and the manager’s writing style, mines the mailbox into a client database and links the price list, then drafts reactivation emails and commercial proposals. Sending is protected by a dry-run mode and mandatory manual approval: the drafts are ready, a 3,712-contact database is consolidated, and the first wave awaits the client’s go-ahead.

HOW WE WORK

Five stages between your
brief and production

Each stage closes with a deliverable you accept before we move on. Nothing is handed over verbally: every step ends with a document, a prototype, or working code.

01

Discovery

Deep dive

We audit your systems, integrations, and access rights, and lock in the success metrics. The output is a technical specification with architecture — not a two-page brief.

5–10 days · spec
02

Design

Architecture

We design the information architecture, the interface, and the technical schema in parallel. The prototype is built on real data, not demo data.

2–3 wks · prototype + spec
03

Build

Development

We build the system to the approved architecture: code, integrations, CI/CD, tests. Progress is visible on a private staging environment.

4–10 wks · staging
04

Launch

Release

We deploy to production with monitoring, load testing, and a rollback plan. We train your team.

1–2 wks · release + docs
05

Scale

Scaling

We track post-launch metrics and make changes driven by data. The architecture absorbs growing load without a rewrite.

STUDIO

Eleven engineers.
Zero intermediaries.

ÆTHER works with a closed circle of clients: no more than six projects in production at a time. Each one is carried by the same trio — a designer, an architecture engineer, and an AI specialist — assigned from brief to release. The project’s technical director is personally accountable.

ENGAGEMENT MODELS

The format changes.
The discipline doesn’t.

We don’t sell hours and we don’t blur scope. Every model fixes the scope of work, acceptance points, and definition of done before the start.

4–8 weeks
Sprint

Fixed scope, timeline, and budget. We ship one product or system — a website, an integration, an AI agent — from brief to production with no parallel streams.

  • The solution is approved up front
  • Payment in two installments: kickoff and acceptance
  • No scope reopening mid-project
3+ months
Product development

An engineering team embeds into your cycle on an ongoing basis — from architecture to operations. Two-week iterations, each closed with a demo.

  • For systems that grow with the business
  • Milestone-based payment
  • Scope reviewed every sprint
12+ months
Retainer

Standing engineering capacity without hiring or idle time between projects. We keep the system healthy and drive metrics to their targets.

  • Priorities fixed per quarter
  • Monthly contract
  • Scope reviewed quarterly
QUESTIONS

What clients ask
before we start

Timelines, cost, and what happens to your data — before you sign the brief. If your question isn’t on the list, ask it directly.

How long does a project take
A landing page — from 3 weeks. A corporate site with solution architecture — from 6 weeks. Embedding an AI layer into an existing process — from 4 weeks to the first measurable result. The timeline is fixed in the contract after the brief and doesn’t move without both sides agreeing.
How is pricing structured
A fixed price based on the brief — no hourly uncertainty, no surcharges for the “unforeseen.” The budget depends on the scope of integrations and the depth of automation, not the number of pages. We send the estimate within 2 business days.
What stack do you work with
Next.js and TypeScript on the frontend, Node.js on the backend, Postgres or Supabase for data, infrastructure on Vercel or dedicated servers — the mix is determined by each project’s load and security requirements, not the team’s habits.
How do you deploy AI
We start with a process audit: where time is lost, who makes the decision, what data is available. We embed the model into your existing systems — CRM, email, document workflows — with access rights scoped strictly to the task. Results are measured in hours saved and cycle speed.
What happens after launch
30 days of warranty support are included in the project — we fix any deviations from the specification at no extra cost. Beyond that, a support contract with fixed response times: critical incidents — within 4 hours, improvements — on an agreed sprint schedule.
How do you handle confidentiality
We sign an NDA before the brief. Access to your infrastructure is limited to the project team and logged. Your data and models are never used to train third-party systems. The client circle is closed — project details are not published without separate consent.
NEXT STEP

The first meeting is
an audit, not a pitch.

45 minutes: we walk through your current process, find the points of manual work, and calculate the payback — before anything is signed. NDA by default. A proposal with the numbers within 5 business days.
