“The shoemaker’s children go barefoot.” 👞
For years, that was us.
We build great tools for our clients. But we never had time to build one for ourselves.
We paid $7k a year for a time-tracking app. We had 105 users, and the price went up with every new person and we still did a lot of the work by hand.
Julia, who works in our finance team, felt it every month. “Toward the end of the month, it was always a race against the clock,” she says.
In 2023, we thought building our own tool would take 350-500 hours. That was too much. So we tried again with AI agents. It took 50 hours. 🤖
Now Finance, HR, Account Managers and Project Managers all use one tool. Each team has its own view. Julia saves 20 hours every month. And we cancelled the subscription. 🎉
