A focused build to prove value fast—designed to grow into a maintainable tool.
Typical outcomes: • a working MVP around one high-impact workflow • clear scope, measurable success criteria, and a roadmap • a foundation you can keep using and expanding
What's included (typical): • discovery & workflow mapping • data/access setup and integrations • MVP build (lightweight UI when needed) • guardrails: permissions, logging, human-in-the-loop approvals • handover + next-step plan
Best for: SMBs that want a real working solution quickly—without hiring a full dev team.
AI Tooling & Automation
Once the MVP proves value, we harden it into a dependable system.
We focus on: • reliability & monitoring • evaluation/testing approach for AI behavior • security and access boundaries • cost controls and performance tuning • maintainability and documentation
Best for: businesses that want AI to run as part of daily operations—not as a one-off experiment.
Building with AI Training
Hands-on training to turn agentic coding into a reliable part of your engineering system.
Training topics can include: • designing agentic loops: plan → implement → test → iterate • decomposition and task graphs (turn tickets into agent-ready work) • coding with guardrails: tests, linting, type checks, review checklists • refactoring and migrations with structured agent workflows • debugging loops: repro → hypothesis → fix → verify • secure usage patterns and data boundaries • team playbooks: prompts, checklists, "definition of done" for agentic work
Format: workshops, team enablement sessions, and practical playbooks your team can reuse.
Who we help
Small & Medium Businesses (without a software team): You want to apply AI to your business, but you don't have an internal development team to design, build, and maintain it.
We help you: automate repetitive workflows • unlock knowledge trapped in documents and emails • improve customer support and internal operations • introduce AI safely with clear guardrails and ownership • implement AI systems that can be maintained and improved over time
Developers & Engineering Teams (agentic coding): You're moving beyond "copilot-style" suggestions and want to build with agentic workflows—reliable loops that plan, execute, test, and iterate.
We help you: ship faster with agentic development workflows • set up guardrails for quality, security, and consistency • improve refactoring, debugging, and migrations using structured AI loops • create team standards so agentic coding works across projects
How we work
We keep things simple and outcome-driven:
• Start with the workflow: pick one high-impact process to improve • Ship something real: build an MVP that users can actually use • Add guardrails: safety, permissions, and human approval where needed • Make it maintainable: monitoring, documentation, and clear ownership • Enable your team: training and playbooks so progress continues
Everything we do is grounded in the same principle: ship real systems, not hype.
FAQ
What is appliedmagic?
appliedmagic is an AI studio. We build our own AI software products and partner with teams to apply AI in a practical, reliable way. Everything we do is grounded in one principle: ship real systems, not hype.
Who do you work with?
We focus on two lanes: (1) AI products, MVPs, tooling & consulting for SMBs without a software team, and (2) Agentic coding training for developers and engineering teams. Different audiences, one approach: practical, shippable AI that creates measurable value.
What is 'agentic coding'?
Agentic coding means moving beyond simple copilot-style suggestions to building reliable loops and workflows where AI agents can plan, execute, test, and iterate on complex coding tasks. It's about creating structured systems with guardrails for quality, security, and consistency.
Do you offer custom AI development?
Yes. We specialize in building AI MVPs that prove value fast, then hardening them into dependable, production-ready systems with full monitoring, security, guardrails, and maintainability.
Why 'practical over hype'?
We believe AI value comes from measurable improvements in real workflows, not from chasing the latest experimental models without clear use cases. We focus on what you can actually run, maintain, and improve over time.
What makes appliedmagic different?
We're builders first—we ship our own AI software products, not just advice. We have a tooling-first mindset focused on repeatable systems, production-minded delivery with security and cost controls, and clear, measurable outcomes.
What's included in an AI MVP build?
Typically: discovery & workflow mapping, data/access setup and integrations, the MVP build itself (with lightweight UI when needed), guardrails like permissions and human-in-the-loop approvals, and a handover with a clear next-step plan.
How do you ensure AI systems are secure?
Security, access boundaries, and cost controls are core parts of our AI tooling and automation services. We implement proper permissions, logging, evaluation/testing approaches, and human approval workflows where needed.
Do you provide team training?
Yes. We offer hands-on workshops, team enablement sessions, and practical playbooks to turn agentic coding into a reliable part of your team's engineering standards. Topics include agentic loops, decomposition, guardrails, refactoring workflows, and secure usage patterns.
How do I get started?
Reach out at hello@appliedmagic.ai. We typically start with a discovery session to understand your high-impact workflows and determine the best path forward.
