Desserted StudiosLet's talk

What we do

Strategy first. Build second.

We lead with the audit because building the wrong thing fast is still the wrong thing. Here's what we offer and when each one fits.

01

Strategy & Advisory

Lead offering

Before we build anything, we figure out what's actually worth building. We come in, look at your workflows, talk to your team, and hand you a plain-English roadmap that says: here's what's costing you the most time, here's what we'd do about it, here's what order to do it in.

What's included

  • Workflow audit (1–2 weeks)
  • Written findings + prioritized roadmap
  • Tool and vendor recommendations
  • ROI estimates per initiative
  • Standalone deliverable — no build required

Ideal when

You know something needs to change but aren't sure where to start.

02

Automation Builds

Most common

We take the repetitive, manual work off your team's plate. Connecting tools that don't talk to each other, automating approval flows, building scheduled reports — whatever's eating your team's time. We use the right tool for the job: n8n, Zapier, Make, custom scripts.

What's included

  • Cross-tool workflow automation
  • Data sync between disconnected systems
  • Automated reporting and alerts
  • Document generation and routing
  • Measured in hours returned per week

Ideal when

Your team does the same manual steps over and over. It's not complicated — it's just nobody's gotten around to automating it.

03

AI Implementation

We build AI into your actual business workflows — not ChatGPT bolted on. Internal tools that draft communications, classify incoming requests, summarize documents, flag anomalies in your data. The kind of AI that saves your team real time, not just impressive demos.

What's included

  • LLM-powered internal tools
  • AI-assisted communication drafting
  • Document summarization and extraction
  • Intelligent routing and classification
  • Chatbots with real business context

Ideal when

You've seen what AI can do in demos. You want to know what it can do in your actual workflow.

04

Custom Software Engineering

When off-the-shelf doesn't fit. We build web apps, internal tools, APIs, and dashboards — engineered to last, documented so your team can own it. No vendor lock-in. No bloated platform you'll pay for forever.

What's included

  • Internal web applications and dashboards
  • Customer-facing tools and portals
  • API integrations and data pipelines
  • Replacing manual processes with custom apps
  • Full documentation and handoff

Ideal when

You've outgrown generic software and need something built specifically for how your business works.

Service questions

Can I hire you for just the strategy audit without committing to a build?+

Yes. The audit is a standalone deliverable. You get the findings and roadmap regardless of whether you hire us to build anything.

Do you offer consulting beyond the workflow audit?+

Yes. For businesses that want strategic guidance rather than a build, we offer extended engagements covering overall technology direction, tool and platform selection, and long-term roadmap development. If you're not sure what to build yet — or whether to build at all — we can work with you on that question directly.

Do you work with non-technical business owners?+

That's most of our clients. You don't need to know what an API is. You need to know what's slowing your business down — we handle the rest.

What tools do you use for automation?+

We're tool-agnostic and choose based on your situation. n8n and Make for complex multi-step workflows, Zapier for simpler integrations, custom Python or TypeScript scripts when off-the-shelf platforms are too limiting.
