We've been on the struggle bus too
Knowing exactly what your business needs and not being able to get it built is its own kind of struggle. We named the company after it, and we started it to get people off.
What We Believe
The person who knows the work should shape the tool. The people who know what a business needs are almost never the people allowed to build it. That's the gap we close.
Small senior teams beat big firms. We've seen the fifty page decks and the endless discovery phases. We'd rather put working software in front of you than another slide.
Month to month keeps us honest. No long lock in. If we're not earning next month, you should leave, and you keep everything we built when you do.
AI changes who gets to build. Most people spend most of their week chasing data and a sliver of it on the work only they can do. That's fixable now in a way it wasn't a few years ago, and it should give people their week back.
How We Work
Start from what you have
A sketch, a spreadsheet, a prototype you built yourself. We start there, not with a discovery phase or a questionnaire.
Build in your systems
We work inside the tools your business already runs, with your data. No new portal of ours for your team to learn.
Yours from the first commit
The code lives in your repository and the docs regenerate from the commits. If you stop working with us, nothing breaks.
Plain language, real numbers
No jargon. We talk about the hours your team gets back and the work that finally exists, in numbers you can check.
Tools We Build With
Who You'll Work With
Mike and a small team of senior engineers who build with AI. You talk to the people building your software, not an account manager.
Mike Green
Founder
Mike spent years running operations and technology implementation, watching people who knew exactly what their business needed hand that idea to someone else and get something worse back. He started The AI Struggle Bus to close that gap, and he's the person you talk to first.
