100× faster. 100× cheaper.

With generative AI, we design and ship business applications in days, not months. A project that used to cost $100,000 and six months with a traditional team now ships in a few thousand dollars and a few weeks.

Overview

A transformed development economy

SMBs have been postponing software projects for years because of cost and timelines. AI changes the equation: our architects drive agents that write code, generate tests, and produce the UI. You describe your need in plain language, we ship a working application — often within a week for a prototype, 2-4 weeks for a production version.

What we deliver

01

Internal applications

Tailored tools for your team: client portals, inventory management, internal dashboards, custom workflows.

02

Bespoke integrations

Connectors between your existing systems (HubSpot, Salesforce, Acomba, Sage, Dynamics) without relying on Zapier or paid middleware.

03

Specialized AI agents

Autonomous agents that perform precise tasks: lead qualification, invoice processing, email handling, summaries.

04

MVPs & prototypes

Validate an idea in under a week. We build a working version for user testing or investor demos.

05

Client & B2B portals

Secure spaces for your clients: documents, invoices, project status, tickets, reports — with M365 or Google SSO.

06

Process automation

Applications that orchestrate complex cross-system processes with business logic and approvals.

Our approach

From idea to production in weeks, not months

1

Scoping (2-3 days)

One-day workshop to understand the need, users, integrations. We deliver a firm quote and timeline.

2

Prototype (3-7 days)

First working version deployed on your infrastructure or a test environment. You validate with real users.

3

Production (1-3 weeks)

Iterations with your team, testing, hardening, final integrations. Supervised production launch.

4

Ongoing evolution

Feature additions as needs emerge, with the same short cycles. Your week-long requests, shipped in days.

Frequently asked questions

How do you achieve 100× faster development?
Generative AI (Claude, GPT, autonomous agents) now writes most of the code under our architects' supervision. A project that took 6 months with a team of 3 developers now ships in 2-4 weeks with 1 architect driving AI agents. The cost and timeline reduction is real and verifiable — we show you the generated code and the human time invested.
What's the code quality?
Code is reviewed, tested and documented by our architects. We run automated test suites, security reviews (OWASP), and dependency audits. Quality matches or exceeds a classic human team, with better traceability (every change is documented by the AI agent).
How much does a typical application cost?
MVP / prototype: $3,000 to $8,000. Production internal application: $10,000 to $30,000. Client portal or complex AI agent: $20,000 to $60,000. Compare to $80,000 to $250,000 for an equivalent project in traditional development.
Am I locked in with Hilo Tech?
No. Source code and documentation are yours. The application can be hosted on your side, transferred to another team, or maintained in-house. We offer support but zero technical lock-in.
Does my data stay private?
Yes. Your data is never used to train public AI models. Applications can be hosted on your infrastructure, on Azure Canada, or on our private Hilo Intelligence platform. Law 25 compliance included.
