What we build for you

AI engineering

AI features that survive real users, not just the demo. Measured with evals, grounded in your data, with a known cost per request.

  • RAG & retrievalThe right context in front of the model, from your own data.
  • Agentic workflowsAgents that plan and act step by step, with approvals and an audit trail.
  • MCP serversConnect your product to Claude, Cursor and other AI clients.
  • EvalsA repeatable measure of “correct”, built before any tuning.
  • GuardrailsClear limits on what the system can do and what it can disclose.
  • Cost & latency controlCost per request modeled and tested before you scale.

Web applications

Customer portals, internal tools and SaaS platforms, built to scale with your business.

Mobile apps

iOS and Android apps with one shared codebase, or native when the product needs it.

Product design

Clickable prototypes that settle direction before code, and design systems your team can reuse.

Integrations & data

APIs, payments and data pipelines that retry safely, reconcile and alert on what matters.

MVPs for startups

From idea to a product your first users can pay for, in weeks, not quarters.

Platform modernization

Move legacy systems forward one piece at a time, with no downtime and no big-bang rewrite.

Quality engineering

Tests written from the spec, not the finished code. Every pull request is also reviewed by CodeWarden.

Maintenance & support

Security and dependency updates on a schedule, not after an incident. Clear response times.

How we work

From call to production in four steps

  1. Scoping call

    30 minutes. We learn your goals and show you what we would ship first.

  2. Plan & price

    A written scope, a timeline and a fixed price. No surprises later.

  3. Build in sprints

    Weekly demos and written status updates. You always see real progress.

  4. Ship & support

    We launch, monitor and keep improving. You own all the code.

Made by Bonsai Labs

We don't just build software. We run it.

Our own SaaS products keep our team honest. We deal with real users, real bills and real incidents, just like you.

UTMKit
MARKETING · MCP

Campaign links that work where your AI works.

Create tagged short links and QR codes, and track campaigns, right from Claude, Cursor or any MCP client.

UTMKit chat: the user asks for a campaign named bonsai, then a short link with utm_medium=social; UTMKit creates both and returns utmkit.co/3f1097n with Copy and QR buttons.

Engagement models

Two ways to work with us

FIXED-SCOPE PROJECT

A defined scope, a fixed price, a working product.

  • Written scope and timeline before we start
  • A breakdown of every feature, agreed with you before any code
  • Phase 1 delivered end to end, ready for real users
  • Changes priced up front, never billed silently
  • Invoices tied to features shipped, not hours
  • Best for MVPs and well-defined products
DEDICATED MONTHLY TEAM

A standing team that ships from your backlog.

  • Tech lead, engineers and QA in one pod
  • Every pull request reviewed by CodeWarden
  • Pod size set monthly: scale up or down as you need
  • Change priorities any week
  • Weekly demos and written reports
  • Best for growing products with a long roadmap
