Your platform, your stack, your unfair advantage.
You're not just hiring someone to build agents. You're inheriting six years of infrastructure — every API we've ever plumbed, every model we run locally, every marketing-automation tool we've paid for. Here's what's yours on Day 1.
Local models + pooled API access
Most of your agent's thinking happens on your Mac Studio — no per-token fees, no data leaving the machine. When we do need a frontier model, it comes out of our pooled account, bundled in your monthly retainer.

What this means in dollars
Rebuilding this stack from scratch — three local model hosts, pooled OpenRouter, six MCP servers, a RAG pipeline, image-gen + staging + tagging, and marketing-automation integrations — would run you $40K–$80K in engineering plus $800–$2,000/month in SaaS subscriptions. You're getting all of it, set up, operational, and continuously maintained — bundled into $19,500 upfront and $2,250/month.
