Work with us
We set businesses up on Macs, Linux and AI they're proud of. Then we use all of it to sharpen how the business makes money.
What we do
Beautiful machines
Macs on the desks, or Linux where it suits, with Jamf running the fleet so every machine arrives set up and stays that way.
AI that earns its keep
Claude first, with ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok and open models wherever they're the better fit. Copilot goes.
Automations you own
Your Power Automate flows rebuilt in n8n or Zapier, in a form you can pick up and take anywhere.
Security you forget about
CrowdStrike on every machine, managed from one place.
A server of your own
An AI box for your office, assembled by hand, running open models like DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi and Hermes. Your data stays in your building.
A sharper business
The technology is the easy half. The real work is looking hard at how your business makes money and using all of the above to make it faster, leaner and harder to compete with.
Who you're dealing with
Richard Dobson, in Queensland. SOC and SIEM engineer turned builder. I assemble the hardware myself, I write everything on this site, and I'm writing the book on running a business with zero Microsoft in it.
