Ship AI-native web apps with a senior team.
We help SMBs build LLM/RAG products and custom React/Node apps—without junior outsourcing or vendor lock-in. You own the code, infra, and ops.
Built for SMBs that need production software, not a slide deck.
We’re a fit when you:
- Have a real workflow or customer-facing product that needs AI or a custom web app
- Want senior engineers in the room from day one
- Prefer clear ownership: your repos, your cloud, your runbooks
- Can describe the problem in a short brief (we'll say fit/not-fit in a business day)
We’re not a fit when you:
- Need a large bench of juniors to staff a long body shop
- Want us to own your product forever as a black-box SaaS
- Are shopping for the lowest hourly rate over delivery clarity
What we build
AI-native web for SMBs—apps that ship, that you own.
LLM / RAG apps
Chat, search, and assistants grounded in your documents and systems—designed for real usage, not demos.
Custom full-stack (React / Node)
Product UIs and APIs you'd be proud to maintain after we leave.
Design systems
Shared UI patterns so your app stays coherent as features grow.
Tech consulting
Architecture, build-vs-buy, and delivery plans when you need a senior sparring partner before (or instead of) a build.
How we work
Tell us what you're building
A short note is enough.
We reply in a business day
Fit / not fit / what we'd need to scope.
Scoped discovery
If we're a fit, we define first ship, ownership, and approximate effort.
Senior delivery
The people who scope are the people who build. No junior outsourcing.
You own it
Code, infra, and ops stay with you. No lock-in by design.
What “~2 weeks to first ship” means
For a narrow, well-scoped first slice (e.g. a thin vertical of an app or a constrained RAG prototype)—not a full product rewrite. Timeline depends on access (data, APIs, designs) and decision speed. We set a concrete first-ship definition in discovery; we don't promise calendar magic. Often ~2 weeks to a narrow, agreed first ship—after access and scope are clear.
Why teams hire Jodei
Senior-only
Experienced builders; we don't outsource your project to juniors. 100% senior delivery.
Ownership
You keep the code, cloud accounts, and operational control. 0 lock-in by design.
Pragmatic AI
LLMs/RAG where they help a workflow; not AI theater.
Clear first ship
We aim for a usable slice you can evaluate early, then expand.
Tell us what you're building.
We'll reply in a business day with whether we're a fit—and what a sensible first ship could look like.
