AI Developments
Happy New Year! As we kick off 2026, AI development has not slowed down, and neither have we.
Here are some of our favourite new AI tools:
Replit - If you are building software platforms from scratch, Replit is great for getting a design in place and something off the ground
Adobe Firefly - Upload your business’s logo, colour palette, and other assets to generate new branding images for free
Perplexity - Perform PhD-level research on any topic, using results and research data from across the internet
What We’ve Been Working On
Community Platform
We’ve been building a platform for a community to manage its users and connect them more easily. The platform has fully automated onboarding and email flows for payment.
Here’s a sneak peek at the design:
Cold Outreach Agent
Recently, we built an AI LinkedIn messaging agent for one of our clients. The tool personalised messages based on the customer’s profile, and was directed to send messages in our client’s tone and structure.
We were able to save the business 20+ hours per week spent reaching out and replying to messages on LinkedIn. This client also received 32 new customers in just two weeks! We might just have to start using it ourselves.
Website Update
Finally, we added some new reviews to our website from happy customers:
