Working Model — Custom Software & AI for Small Business

What We've Built

Real projects, working software.

Not mockups. Not slide decks. Applications in production — each one built to solve a specific problem that off-the-shelf tools couldn't.

iOS App · Text-to-Speech

Audiary

A simple, private TTS app for iOS. Paste or share any text — articles, notes, LLM output — and listen to it like a podcast. No accounts, no subscriptions, no data leaves your device.

USAF mission planning

Phantom

A mission planning application built for the 558th FTS to replace a discontinued training environment tool. Real users, real requirements, built and delivered.

AI agent infrastructure

Clawdoria

A research platform for stress-testing AI agent capability — how agents maintain context, manage persistent memory, and operate over long time horizons.

Python modeling tools

Systems Engineering

Computational modeling that captures how complex operations actually work — processes, constraints, feedback loops — as executable code rather than static diagrams.

On-premises AI

Private LLM Deployment

For businesses that need AI capability but need their data to stay on their own network. Local model installation, configuration, and integration — no data leaves your building.

Coastal data dashboard

Slackwater

A coastal dashboard that consolidates tide station data, weather conditions, and solar/lunar information for the Texas coast — so you don't have to check five different websites before heading out.

What We Do

Three ways to work with us.

Every engagement starts with your problem, not our process. We figure out what you need, build it, and hand it over.

Custom Software

You describe the problem — a workflow that's eating hours, data that lives in too many places, a tool that doesn't exist yet. We build it, deliver it, and walk you through it. You own everything.

AI Implementation

From integrating large language models into your existing workflow, to setting up fully private AI on your own network — we help you use AI in ways that actually stick, not just a ChatGPT bookmark.

Ongoing Support

After delivery, we can stay on for maintenance, iteration, and new features — scoped as a separate engagement so you're never locked in. Your tools grow as your business does.

How We're Different

Most developers build what you ask for. We figure out what you actually need.

Systems thinking developed in environments where complexity can't be guessed at — military operations, mission-critical software. The ability to see how processes connect, where things break, what actually matters. That shows up in everything we build.

We ship working software

Not strategy decks. Not recommendations. You get a working application, deployed and ready to use. If you can't click on it and do something useful, we haven't delivered yet.

We know what AI can actually do

Most people either underestimate or overestimate what's possible with AI right now. We work at the frontier every day — building agents, deploying local models, automating real workflows. We'll tell you what's worth building and what isn't.

Sound Familiar?

Signs you might need us.

You're copying data between three spreadsheets every week and pretending it's a system.

You tried ChatGPT a few times but couldn't figure out how to make it stick in your actual workflow.

You need a custom tool but can't justify hiring a full-time developer to build it.

You've got sensitive data and the idea of sending it to an AI company's API makes you uneasy.

Your best employee carries the operating knowledge in their head and you know that's a risk.

You've been quoted $200k for enterprise software that does half of what you actually need.

Get Started

Let's talk about what you need.

Working Model was founded by Andrew Pope — a U.S. Air Force Major, Weapons School graduate, and Weapons School instructor. Someone trained to absorb complexity, find the leverage points, and ship results under pressure. That's the approach we bring to every build.

No pitch deck. No pressure. We start with a conversation about the problem you're trying to solve — and whether we're the right people to solve it.
