"AI pilots can look brilliant in a demo and then fall over in production. Our entire job is to make them survive it."
— Andrew Ward, Founder, Scorchsoft
Bespoke agents and automations
We build the AI that does the work: agents that handle a task from start to finish, automations that remove the repetitive grind, and AI features inside your web and mobile apps. Not a chatbot bolted on the side — software that earns its place in your workflow.
Connected to your systems
The value of AI isn't the model, it's the integration. We connect it to your data, tools and processes — CRMs, ERPs, internal databases, third-party APIs — so it acts on real information and fits how your business actually operates.
Governed and guard-railed
We treat the model like a member of staff: scoped permissions, a second model checking its output, and drafts that go to a human before anything is published. The result is AI you can hand real responsibility to without losing sleep.
Auditable, with a human in the loop
Every decision the AI makes is logged and reversible. You can see what it did, why, and roll back the rare mistake — the difference between a clever prototype and a system an enterprise can actually run on.
Velocity Sprints
We build in fast two-week cycles, so you see working software early and steer as you go. AI-assisted development means we ship more in each sprint — and you're never waiting months to find out whether it works.
Clear units, no runaway scope
Work is priced in clear output units, with fixed-scope sprints and no open-ended invoices. You always know what you're getting and what it costs.
Built on the right AI stack for the job
We're model- and tool-agnostic — we pick what fits your problem, your data and your governance needs, rather than forcing everything through one vendor.

AI Discovery Process Frequently Asked Question
What kinds of AI can you build?
Agents that complete tasks, workflow automations, AI features inside web and mobile apps, internal tools and dashboards, and full bespoke AI products. If it needs to be reliable, integrated and governed, it's our kind of work.
Can't we just use ChatGPT or Copilot?
For plenty of everyday tasks, yes — and we'll tell you when that's the right answer. We build the parts off-the-shelf tools can't reach: deep integration with your systems, custom logic, multi-user control, and the governance that lets you trust it in production.
How do you keep AI reliable and safe in production?
We engineer for it from day one: scoped permissions, guardrail models, draft-then-approve workflows, a human in the loop, and a full audit trail you can roll back. It's the difference between a demo and a system you can run a business on.
How much does it cost to build an AI agent or app?
It depends on scope, but most builds run as fixed two-week Velocity Sprints, so cost stays predictable. The best first step is an AI Opportunity Sprint — a short, fixed-price discovery that hands you a costed roadmap.
How quickly can we see something working?
Often within the first two-week sprint. We prioritise getting something real in front of you early, then iterate from there.
Can Scorchsoft build this for our business?
Yes — that's exactly what we do. Tell us the problem and we'll scope it. Get a free quote, or book an AI Opportunity Sprint to find the highest-value place to begin.
