Two ways to work with us

Forward Deployed Engineering

Bring us one workflow.

Senior engineers embed in your operation, learn how it actually works, and ship reliable software into production. AI opportunities, legacy systems, and the bottlenecks stuck between business and engineering.

  • Senior builders embedded with your team, accountable end to end
  • Legacy systems, AI features, and stalled prototypes taken to production
  • The people who understand the problem are the people who build it

Benjamin · our flagship product

The AI support platform we built.

Customer support and operational workflows across web chat, WhatsApp, and email. Grounded in your knowledge, with human escalation when judgment is needed.

  • Grounded in your knowledge base and your workflows
  • Works across web chat, WhatsApp, and email
  • Escalates to a human with full conversation context preserved

Benjamin is the platform we built while doing this work. When it fits your problem, you start ahead. When it does not, we build the right thing.

The depth behind the work

Built on a decade of real operational work.

Before Benjamin, Lean it 101 led transformation programs at Vale, Softplan, Ambev and other enterprise software companies. The practice was shaped inside the global Lean and Agile community, including five years on the Agile Alliance board of directors in the United States, working alongside the people who defined modern software delivery. That depth is what you hire when you bring us a problem, and what Benjamin is built on.
