# Braidmont

> Braidmont builds software and AI systems for companies that have no technology team. It is a technology consulting and AI implementation firm in Austin, Texas. It serves small and mid size companies across the United States. Its belief: every company deserves frontier technology.

The newest tools reach the largest companies first. Braidmont closes that gap for small and mid size companies. The team has built software and data systems at companies like Tesla and Ford. Nothing goes live without a person's approval.

## Services

- **Build software**: Web apps, internal tools, APIs and integrations. We add AI features where they do a clear job. You get: production-ready software; a working build each week; full ownership of the source code.
- **Automate work**: We put AI and software to work on the tasks your team repeats each week. You get: automated workflows, live; human approval built in; a full audit log.
- **Audit and fix**: We review a system you have. We find what fails and what costs too much. You get: a ranked list of fixes; the measurements behind the list; the fixes, if you want us to make them.
- **Technology research**: We compare tools, models or vendors for one decision that you must make. You get: a written recommendation; the evidence for it; the tradeoffs, stated plainly.
- **Support after launch**: Software needs care after it ships. We stay on to fix problems, make changes and keep it up to date. You get: priority support; ongoing feature development; security and system updates.

## Work

- [Marketing without a marketing hire.](https://braidmont.com/work/agents/) (Software & automation): A startup had nobody to do its marketing. We built a system that turns one typed sentence into a full campaign, written the way the company talks. A person checks it before anything is posted. Results: 1 prompt starts a campaign; 5 finished drafts each time; 0 posts go live without a person; 2 wks from project scope to a live product. A company can now launch a campaign in minutes, where it used to spend hours each week. A small team now does the work of a marketing hire. Plain-text copy: https://braidmont.com/work/agents.md
- [Cutting the cost of an AI agent.](https://braidmont.com/work/bench/) (Audit and fix): An AI agent reads before it works, and you pay for every word. We redesigned its tools so it reads far less. Then we measured it. Results: 61 to 73% fewer tokens read per task; 27 to 44% less time per task; 595 controlled runs, three models. Most companies turn on an AI agent and never check what it costs to run. We checked. The same agent does the same work with 61 to 73% less reading, so the cost stays low as the company grows.

- [A video ad without a film crew.](https://braidmont.com/work/film/) (Build): A law startup wanted a video ad and could not afford a film crew. We built the ad with software, so the startup did not spend thousands on a filmed ad. A judge talks about the startup for two minutes. Results: 2:10 final cut, 1080p, with speech; 20 scenes, 8 seconds each; 0 cameras, actors or film crews. A filmed ad was out of reach for this startup. Now it has one. A small firm can put a professional video in front of clients with no crew, no set and no ad agency. Plain-text copy: https://braidmont.com/work/film.md

## Articles

Braidmont writes about what AI changes for a small or mid size company. Each article takes a position and links to its sources.

- [Americans dislike AI commercials. A small firm should make one anyway.](https://braidmont.com/articles/ai-commercials-make-one-anyway/) (October 8, 2026): Gallup found that 62% of Americans object to AI-made people in ads. We built an ad like that for a law startup. Here is why we would do it again.
- [How much does AI cost? Ask what one finished task costs.](https://braidmont.com/articles/how-much-does-ai-cost/) (October 8, 2026): AI prices fell again this fall, and bills still go up. The price per token is the wrong number for a business owner. Ask a vendor what one finished task costs.
- [When a vendor says "AI-powered", ask for the measurement.](https://braidmont.com/articles/ai-powered-ask-for-the-measurement/) (October 8, 2026): Three firms agreed to pay $930,000 after the FTC said they sold small businesses an AI marketing service that did not do what they claimed. Ask a vendor for proof before you buy.
- [Your staff already use AI at work. Train them before you buy software.](https://braidmont.com/articles/staff-already-use-ai-train-first/) (October 8, 2026): Gallup says 52% of American workers use AI on the job, and one in five do not know their company's position on it. The first AI spending should go to training and one page of rules.

## How a project runs

1. **Talk**: We take a 30 minute call. You tell us what you want to achieve or get built.
2. **Scope**: We write down what we will build, the price and the timeline. You approve it before we start.
3. **Build**: We build the solution inside your timeline, and we show you progress each week.
4. **Hand over**: We hand over the working system, the code and the documents. You own all of it.

## Values

- **Frontier technology is for everyone.** The best tools should not belong only to the largest companies. A ten-person company deserves the same quality of engineering as a ten-thousand-person one.
- **Working beats impressive.** A demo is easy. We judge the work on an ordinary Monday morning, when your team has to use it.
- **No job is too small.** We give a small fix the same care as a large build.
- **Plain words.** If we cannot explain a system simply, we do not understand it well enough to build it.
- **You own it.** The code, the documents and the accounts are yours from the first day. If you want to leave us, you can.
- **Fast, and done right.** A slow project costs you money every week. We move fast, and we test the work before you see it.

## Common questions

- **Do you only do AI work?** No. Most of the value is in solid software, clean data and simple automation. We use AI where it clearly helps, with human review built in.
- **How do you price work?** The price depends on the scope of the project. We agree on it in writing before work starts.
- **Who owns the code?** You do. All code, docs and accounts are yours from day one.
- **Do you support the software after it is built?** Yes. After the handover we can stay on to fix problems, make changes and keep it up to date. You decide if you want that.
- **Where are you based?** Austin, Texas. We work with clients across the US, remotely and on site when it helps.
