Service · Software Development Reimagined
To win in 2026, you need to leverage the technology of 2026.
The same goes for software. The problems that big systems solve didn't disappear—but a classic, form-heavy custom-built software platform commissioned today is legacy the day it ships. We build based on solving the problem with the most effective proven technology available.
What it is
Software rebuilt around AI, for business owners
This is custom software development rebuilt around AI. The problems big systems solve are still real: data entry, search, reporting, field access. We build the smallest system that solves them using what AI can now do, at a fixed price. AI-first approaches and developing the AI-way have dramatically cut the costs of building solutions, so even the smallest business can justify building and maintaining their own solution.
The problems didn't disappear
Data entry, search, reporting, field access—all still need solving.
Data entry
Still has to happen. It just shouldn't need a human retyping it. Put the brains of AI together with the eyes and ears of your computer or phone to simplify the job of capturing and moving information.
Search
Your people should find anything in a second or two by asking for it.
Reporting
Reports should assemble themselves from the work as it happens.
Field access
The job site needs answers—not a laptop, a login, and a VPN.
Legacy healthcare system · Four working examples
Using a large web application? Here's how we'd handle it in 2026.
For years our team has built and maintained healthcare platforms under the Freeport Metrics name for our custom development projects. Forms with dozens of fields, filter panels that take weeks to learn, month-end reports developed one by one. The standard proposal for a system like that started at six months. We refuse to do it that way. Here's how we'd point 2026 tools at that same set of problems.
Ask the system.
A multi-field search becomes a plain request. A custom month-end report became a sentence.
Try the demoThe form that fills itself.
The operator chats in any language; the form fills itself.
Try the demoA multilingual hotline.
Field staff with no laptop and no reliable internet get the same answers by phone, in their own language.
Try the demoThe system that notices.
The data it already collects now flags what deserves attention each morning.
Try the demoTwo ways to commission it
The same problem has more than one solution.
One path gives you a platform to specify, wait for, and maintain forever. The other gets you working solutions while that platform is still in discovery and design.
The classic build
Months of spec before a line of code
Every feature anyone might ever need as a "must-have"
Maintained—and paid for—forever
Legacy the day it ships.
Reimagined
Working software in weeks
Only what the problem calls for
Small enough to change cheaply
AI-first developed the AI-way from day one.
What we build instead
Smaller, more pragmatic answers.
A small add-on
Sometimes the answer is a sharp extension to a tool your team already runs—no new system, no retraining.
A minimal, quick build
When new software is warranted, we build the smallest version that solves the problem—live in weeks, at a fixed price.
AI-first features
Run it by voice, chat, phone, or text from day one—the human interface adapts to the people doing the work, not the other way around.
The conclusion we keep reaching
AI speeds up building software—but we wouldn't build the huge systems of the past at all.
If you're about to commission something large, or you're spending big on maintaining a legacy piece of software, talk to us and we'll show you an alternative approach.

Questions we're often asked.
How is this different from hiring a development shop?
Most shops build what the requirement specifications say. We start by asking whether the system in the spec is the right answer to the problems in 2026, then build the smallest things that solve the problems. Often that's an add-on to software you already run rather than a new platform.
We already have a system. Can you work with it?
Yes—we work with existing legacy systems. Using the AI-way of building, replatforming or modernizing these systems is now significantly faster and more straightforward than traditional approaches.
What does "AI-first software" actually mean?
AI-first replaces traditional UX/UI with user-AI interactions in places it makes sense. Your customers or teams can simply speak with your AI agents versus using an application. AI-first software can read documents and answer questions about them. Features that used to need a screen full of fields work from one sentence instead—search, reporting, and data entry.
What is MCP, and why does it keep coming up?
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard way to let an AI agent operate software directly. Put an MCP layer on a system and your people can ask it for things in plain language using tools like Google's Gemini, Anthropic's Claude or OpenAI's ChatGPT.
How long does a build take?
It depends what the problem calls for. Small add-ons land in days. For anything larger you get a committed delivery date before we start.
Is it fixed price?
Yes, every engagement is. We scope it, price it, and hold that price.
What happens after launch?
We maintain what we ship, at a monthly rate agreed upfront.
We're about to commission a large platform. What should we do first?
Talk to us before the spec is finalized. That's the cheapest moment to find out how much of the system you don't need to build to solve your core problems or take advantage of today's AI capabilities.
Do you work with companies in Maine?
Many of our clients are Maine businesses. The work itself runs remotely, so location isn't a constraint.
