Make it real.
Make it yours.
Practical systems, built around the way your business works.
The lab builds the.cafe for you: AI tools, connected systems, and websites your team can use and run.
We test the work against your actual needs, then provide the documentation and training to put it into use.
Work we do for you
Websites, portals, and prototypes
Editable websites, online stores, applications, and client portals. Working prototypes to test an idea, plus performance and conversion improvements after launch.
Our experience
What we have done. CMS site redesigns and migrations. Brand sites and gated client portals. Working prototypes for pitches, including retention journeys and personalization concepts.
What it gives you. Something useful to test and show, with a site your team can maintain.
Data engineering and integrations
Data pipelines, connections between business systems, and controlled access for AI. Analysis and models built on the data they provide.
Our experience
What we have done. Connections between AI and reporting, billing, project, email, advertising, and analytics systems. Marketing data pipelines and access controls. Models for segmentation, forecasting, and media measurement.
What it gives you. Connected systems, less manual transfer, and data that can be checked and maintained.
Capabilities we build inside your company
We install the.cafe inside your company, with AI agents, connections to your systems, and people responsible for decisions. Permissions, approval steps, action records, and monitoring are part of the setup. The platform is licensed for a monthly fee, with improvements included.
An AI platform for your agency or marketing team
A shared place for your team to work with AI. Specialized agents and repeatable workflows connect to your business systems, with access controls and human review where needed. We define who runs it, how work enters, and how your team learns to use it.
Our experience
What we have done. An agency platform with separate client workspaces, specialized agents, and connected business systems. Daily workflows for briefings, time reports, and direct-mail proofing. An operations guide, administrator responsibilities, and individual training.
What it gives you. A shared way to use AI, with access controls, review steps, and someone responsible for running it.
An AI teammate for your team
An AI teammate with a defined role, email and chat, knowledge of your business, and clear limits on what it can do. It coordinates work and brings the result to a person for approval. Nothing goes out without that person’s yes.
Our experience
What we have done. Joe Brewer, our AI executive producer, runs on his own server with email, chat, and a record of his actions. He assigns work to specialist agents and brings it to the founder for approval. Publishing tools are kept off his machine.
What it gives you. Additional capacity for coordinating work, with a named human responsible for decisions and release.
Automations that connect your systems and your people
Recurring reports, briefings, and updates that move between your systems without repeated copying and pasting. Monitoring alerts someone when a job needs attention.
Our experience
What we have done. Daily briefings from project boards. Scheduled reports from a data warehouse. Payroll and billing connections, recurring chat updates, and monitoring that alerts a phone when an unattended job stops.
What it gives you. Fewer manual handoffs and earlier notice when a recurring job needs attention.
Working together
A project fee covers the agreed build, documentation, and handover. Use of the.cafe platform is licensed separately for a monthly fee, with platform improvements included.
