Lamplighter Consulting

Custom AI software for small businesses.

We build AI tools around how your business already operates, for small businesses that know their trade inside and out.

What we build

Software built around whatever takes the most time.

Quotes and estimates, invoicing, inbox triage, customer intake paperwork. We build the tool around how your business already handles it.

Runs on infrastructure you control Not a shared platform. Not a subscription seat.
Built from your own templates and history Your documents, not a generic internet model.
Nothing trains a third party's model Your documents stay yours.
Built with a collaborator from inside your team We work with someone who knows the domain well enough to catch it when the tool gets something wrong.
How an engagement works

Paid discovery, then a phased build.

01 — Discovery

We map how the work happens.

We'll sit with whoever handles the work day to day and follow it end to end. You'll get a process map, a cost estimate, and a plan for what to build and what it will cost. You decide where to start.

02 — Phased build

We build in stages you can see land.

You'll see each phase working before we start the next one, so the scope stays tied to what your business needs.

03 — Delivered

You own what gets built.

You'll get software your team runs, plus month-to-month support after each phase ships. Nothing here depends on Lamplighter staying involved. We'll keep supporting it for as long as you want that, and not a day longer.

Who this is for

Businesses that know their work and whose tools haven't caught up.

5 to 50 people

Built for teams of 5 to 50 people whose staff spends hours a day on repetitive work, and where the person making the decisions has already tried an off-the-shelf AI tool that didn't map to how the business works.

About us

Our background is in operations and communications, including building automated systems and AI workflows for internal teams at Scale AI. We come to this from the operations side, not engineering, which is why we start with how the work gets done today, not with what the technology can do.

If your team is buried in the same repetitive work every week, we'd like to hear how it runs before either of us decides anything.
