Custom AI Agents & SaaS Builds —
Automation That's Actually Yours.

Beyond off-the-shelf tools. We design and ship bespoke AI agents, custom SaaS products, automation pipelines, and intelligent web applications — tailored to your exact workflows, built on the tools and APIs that actually make sense for your problem.

We know what this kind of work takes. We built our own.

These are not demos. They are production systems we use every day. That is the standard we build to.

01 — What We Build

Four categories.
Infinite applications.

Every build starts with a specific problem to solve. We scope, design, and deliver — no generic SaaS markups, no integration nightmares.

Custom AI Agents

Intelligent automation that handles complex, multi-step tasks — researching, deciding, and executing without a human in the loop.

Lead research agent that profiles inbound enquiries before your sales team calls
Content repurposing agent that turns blog posts into social copy, email summaries, and FAQs
Competitor monitoring agent with weekly briefings
Internal knowledge base agent that answers team questions from your own docs
SaaS Micro-Products

Lightweight, focused web applications that solve one specific problem for your customers or team — deployed fast, maintained lean.

Client-facing reporting dashboards with your branding
Lead scoring calculators or ROI estimators for your sales process
Internal tools: approval workflows, briefing templates, onboarding portals
Subscription-based tools you can offer as a product or lead magnet
Advanced WhatsApp & Chat Flows

Conversational experiences that go far beyond standard FAQ bots — context-aware, multi-turn, and integrated with your CRM and data.

Property configurator that walks buyers through requirements and books site visits automatically
Medical pre-screening bot that collects patient information before appointment
Course recommendation bot integrated with your LMS
E-commerce post-purchase support with order tracking and return initiation
Automation Pipelines

End-to-end workflow automation connecting your tools, data sources, and processes — eliminating the manual work between systems.

CRM-to-WhatsApp: auto-trigger personalised outreach when a lead hits a specific stage
Ad-to-email sync: new Meta lead → tagged, segmented, and in a flow within minutes
Review aggregation: auto-collect Google & Facebook reviews, flag negatives, respond to positives
Reporting automation: weekly performance summaries delivered to Slack/email

02 — Why Custom

When off-the-shelf
stops being enough.

Most tools are built for the average business. If your workflows are more specific, your data more complex, or your requirements more exacting — you need something built for you.

// you own it
Full ownership,
zero lock-in.

Full source code and documentation handed over at delivery. No subscription fees to a tool we control — you can take it anywhere, modify it yourself, or hand it to another developer.

// built by marketers
Revenue logic
baked in from day one.

We're not engineers who learned marketing. We're marketers who build. Every product is designed around conversion, retention, and growth — not just technical correctness.

// scoped & fixed-price
Agreed upfront.
No billing surprises.

Every project is scoped before any work begins. Fixed price in the proposal is the price you pay — no hourly creep, no scope renegotiation mid-build without your approval.

// integrates with your stack
Works with what
you already have.

HubSpot, Zoho, Klaviyo, Shopify, WhatsApp Business API, Google Sheets, Notion, Slack — if it has an API, we connect to it. No rip-and-replace required.

03 — How It Works

From idea to
deployment.

expandza-build.sh
$init --phase=discovery
30-min scoping call. Define the problem, map the workflow, agree on success metrics.
$run --phase=design
Architecture document + prototype / wireframes shared for approval before any build starts.
$deploy --phase=build
Iterative build with regular check-ins. You see progress at every stage — no black-box development.
$monitor --phase=launch
Testing, handover, training. 30 days of post-launch support included as standard.
$status: delivered ✓
// no black-box builds

You own what we build. Full code access, documentation, and handover — not a subscription to a tool we control.

// marketing-first thinking

We're not just engineers — we're marketers who build. Every product is designed with conversion, retention, and growth built in from the start.

// scoped and fixed-price

Every project is scoped upfront with a fixed price — no hourly billing surprises, no scope creep. If requirements change, we re-scope transparently before proceeding.

04 — FAQ

Common questions
about custom builds.

Do I need a technical background to work with you on a build?+
Not at all. Our discovery and scoping process is designed for business owners and marketers, not developers. You describe the problem in plain language — we translate it into a technical specification, share it back with you in non-technical terms for approval, and then build. You'll never need to understand the code to make informed decisions about your product.
What's the typical timeline for a custom build?+
Simpler automation pipelines and AI agents typically take 2–3 weeks from scoping to deployment. WhatsApp flow systems take 2–4 weeks. SaaS micro-products and more complex applications range from 4–10 weeks depending on scope. Every project gets a timeline in the scoping document before we start — we don't begin work until you've approved both the scope and the timeline.
Will I own the code and the product?+
Yes — completely. Everything we build for you is yours. Full source code, documentation, and credentials are handed over at delivery. You're not renting access to a tool we control. If you want to take the product to another developer in the future, or expand it internally, nothing stops you. We also offer optional maintenance retainers for ongoing improvements.
How does pricing work for custom builds?+
Every project is scoped and priced individually based on complexity, integrations required, and timeline. We don't publish standard rates because no two builds are the same. After the initial scoping call, we'll provide a fixed-price proposal within 48 hours. There are no hourly billing surprises — the price in the proposal is the price you pay.
Can a custom build integrate with tools we already use?+
Yes — integration with your existing stack is a core part of every build. Common integrations include CRMs (HubSpot, Zoho, Salesforce), email platforms (Klaviyo, Mailchimp), WhatsApp Business API, Google Sheets, Notion, Slack, and e-commerce platforms (Shopify, WooCommerce). If a tool has an API, we can connect to it.
