We are a software
development company

Do you know where your system lives? Many established businesses run on a web system someone built for them years ago. It takes the orders, makes the quotes, keeps the stock and the customer accounts. It works every day, so nobody asks questions about it. Then a question comes up. A form breaks on phones, or the owner wants a report the system never had. And it turns out nobody in the company knows where the source code is, whose account the hosting is on, or who last deployed a change. The developer who built it moved on, and the agency that took over stopped answering. The business depends on the system more than on any single employee, and nobody can change it. This is a common situation, and it is not a reason to throw the system away. We start by walking through the working system together with the owner, using the access the owner already has. From what the system does today we write down how it works and what the business needs it to do next. Only after that comes the decision: keep it and extend it, or rebuild it in stages. The documentation stays with the owner, so the business is never again tied to one person's memory. We have been building custom systems since 2005. Taking over a system someone else built is a normal part of that work. We are putting together a short self-check for owners on exactly these questions. Until it is ready, if you are not sure who controls your system today or where all the access is kept, write to us at info@abz.agency and we will help you find out.

🎉 Celebrating 4 years with one of our PDM! Looking back, it hasn't always been easy. But every step was worth it. Fun fact: this guy was the first-ever PM Assistant in our company. Hard work. Ambition. A willingness to learn. Structure. Discipline. The result: QA ➡️ PM Assistant ➡️ PDM. There's always more to learn and room to grow - and we're excited to see what's next. May the spark stay alive, the curiosity keep growing, and the journey stay enjoyable 😉

We scope and discuss a lot of AI projects nowadays, and the same picture repeats: most of the work is not AI. A product with a model inside still needs everything ordinary products need, and building that is where most of the effort goes. This year the typical request is an agent that answers calls, schedules jobs, builds a product catalog, or sorts documents. Every brief mentions AI. Very few of them say where exactly the work gets stuck today. Break any of these ideas into tasks and the list fills up with plain software: collecting and cleaning data, business rules, calendar logic, integrations, an admin panel where a human can see what happened. That part is deterministic. It either works or it does not, and we build and test it like any other software. AI earns its place in a much smaller slice. Reading messy human input. Classifying things that resist strict rules. In those spots a model beats hand-written code, and we use one. Everywhere else it adds cost and wrong answers to a problem code already solves. So when you bring us an AI project, expect a boring first step. We will find the real bottleneck and tell you which part needs AI at all. Sometimes the honest answer is ten percent of the whole workflow. Most of the work is still not always AI, and while not so exciting that is not a bad thing. Plain software engineering is predictable, and we have been doing it for over twenty years. How we use AI: https://abz.agency/how-we-use-ai
