We build custom web apps—the AI-first way.
Senior engineers who've built and run business-critical web applications since 2003 — now working agent-first. AI coding agents ship in weeks what used to take quarters; a human reviews every line. We go deepest where we've lived for decades: music & IP publishing and licensing platforms, and automotive B2B loyalty and wholesale programs.

§ 01 / capabilities
We don't just use AI to build faster. We build the AI into your product— and run the whole thing in production.
Every shop now claims AI makes them faster. We'll show you the receipts: our own operations run on coding agents — spec-writing, ticket-to-PR pipelines, client portals with agent APIs — with a senior engineer reviewing every line before it ships. That's how a small senior team delivers at the pace of a big one, and why the AI features we build for clients actually hold up in production.
Where we go deep
Music & IP publishing and licensing — catalogs, royalties, rights, and subscription platforms (GIA Publications, ONE LICENSE). Automotive B2B — dealership loyalty, retention, and wholesale programs (WISDOM, the platform behind Krex Inc.'s DriveSure). If your business runs on one of these, we already speak the language.
What we don't do
Vibe-coded prototypes that fall over in production. AI for AI's sake. Rip-and-replace projects that leave your team scrambling. If that's the brief, we'll point you to someone good.

How the work actually happens.
Step 01 · weeks 1–3
Platform assessment
We read the code, map the infra, and sit with your team. You get a written risk register and a 90-day plan before any contract for ongoing work.
- Infra + dependency map
- Risk register, scored
- 90-day remediation plan
- Fixed-fee, no rollover
Deliverable · written report
Step 02 · weeks 3–16
Architect & build
Senior engineers design the platform and direct AI coding agents through the build — APIs, data, UI, infra. Every line is human-reviewed. Observability, tests, and runbooks are part of the build, not a phase-two promise.
- Agent-first delivery, human-reviewed
- Typed APIs + data models
- CI/CD from day one
- Runbooks before launch
Deliverable · production platform
Step 03 · ongoing
Operational ownership
We run it. 24/7 on-call, patching, incidents, capacity, and cost. You get weekly ops summaries written by a human — not ticket-queue theater.
- 24/7 on-call rotation
- Weekly ops report
- Monthly capacity review
- Quarterly cost audit
Cadence · always-on
Step 04 · ongoing
Continuous improvement
A fixed monthly envelope of senior development hours for features, optimization, and strategic work. No re-scoping theater, no junior hand-offs.
- Fixed monthly capacity
- Quarterly roadmap
- AI integrations when they earn it
- Annual renewal, not lock-in
Cadence · monthly
How we price · quote everything
You know the price before we start.
Every piece of work — a feature, a fix, a full build — gets a written quote you approve before we begin. No hourly meter running in the background, and no wondering what the invoice will say at the end of the month. The invoice matches the quote.
- Written quote before work begins
- Approved by you in the client portal
- Invoice matches the quote — every time
- No month-end mystery

cost + latency tracked
We build AI agents with comprehensive logging, typed guardrails, and human-in-the-loop where the stakes demand it. Every decision is auditable. Every cost is measured. If AI isn't the right tool, we'll say so — loudly.
Human first
Consequential decisions reviewed by people.
Triage, dispatch, routing — AI proposes, humans dispose.
Guardrails
Typed I/O, policy checks, rate limits.
Every prompt, response, and tool call logged and queryable.
Cost visible
Real numbers on what AI costs per decision.
Monthly dashboard: tokens, latency, escalation rate, savings vs. manual.

One Year of Going AI-First: What We Actually Learned
A year ago, we made a deliberate decision to go AI-first at Aslan Interactive. Not as a marketing position, but as an operational commitment. Here's what we actually learned.

We Built Our Own Ops Platform Instead of Buying One — Here's What We Learned
We track 22 client projects, a distributed team of developers, and revenue share across multiple currencies using a custom tool we built ourselves. Here's why we built it, what's inside, and what it taught us about AI in the real world.

If Your Business Runs on Spreadsheets, You're Paying a Hidden Tax
Spreadsheets start as a quick fix and grow into critical business processes. Here's why they break down at scale—and how purpose-built digital systems can free your team to focus on higher-value work.
