Featured Projects
Solutions built for our clients
Natural Resources Analytics
Transform raw resource data into executive-ready financial insights. Upload estimates, get instant 3D visualizations and ROI projections that drive million-dollar investment decisions.
“Our mining division had tons of data but no way to quickly translate it into actionable financial insights. Executive decisions worth millions were being made from outdated spreadsheets.”
Personal Running Coach AI
AI-powered running coach that adapts to your busy schedule. Get personalized training plans that work around your life, whether you're training for a race or just staying healthy.
“I wanted to stay healthy and train for races, but generic running apps didn't understand when I was stressed, traveling, or had crazy work weeks. I needed a coach that adapted to my real life.”
Smart Study Notes
All-in-one platform for taking notes, solving problems, and organizing your learning. Stop switching between multiple apps and keep everything you need in one place.
“I was constantly switching between Google Docs, Notion, calculator apps, and drawing tools while studying. It broke my focus and wasted time — I just wanted everything in one place.”
