Our Process
Five steps from rented stack
to owned operations.
We design, build, and ship the bespoke AI infrastructure your business actually needs - in weeks, not quarters. You own the code, the models, and the data. Forever.
Your back-office cost scales with headcount. Your competitors' doesn't anymore.
Large enterprises figured this out years ago. They don't pay per seat — they build their own, and the cost stops moving with the org chart.

The Engagement
Five weeks. Five steps. One owned system.
- 01
Step 1
Discovery
A Customer Engineer is introduced to the company's operations and then ships a technical blueprint of what to automate first. We surface where the highest-leverage automation opportunities live. No line of code is written before we know exactly what to build and why.
- 02
Step 2
Layer
Before anything gets automated, the connections have to exist. We build an integration layer that links your existing systems to the new Buzzed tool. Two-way and multi-way connections move data wherever it needs to go. No one has to push it. Clean inputs, reliable handoffs, and no more manual translation between tools.
- 03
Step 3
Custom Automations
With the integration layer in place, we automate the work that runs on top of it. One trigger fans out into the document, the invoice, the status update, and the database write. All at once. Every time. No one in the middle.
- 04
Step 4
Agentic AI
Agents replace the judgement layer. A human moves task to task, hits blockers, and grinds through ten hours of work. An agent walks the same chain in seconds and gets it right the first time. Multi-step, multi-system. No babysitting required.
- 05
Step 5
Cutover
Custom replacements for the SaaS you've been renting go live alongside your existing stack. Real traffic runs on both. We compare every output until the new build matches the old, every time. Then you flip the switch and cancel the subscriptions. Per-seat rent becomes a one-time asset you own.
The Cadence
While they're scoping, we're shipping.
While they’re scoping, we’re shipping. Same problem, same depth of build — on a calendar that fits inside a single quarter, not a fiscal year.
Rented vs Drafted
An apartment that almost fits, or the house drafted around you.
Off-The-Shelf
Generic tiles, custom-shaped business.
The 275 SaaS tools the average company rents are built for the average company. You aren’t one. Every rented tile leaves gaps your team papers over — and pays for capability that hangs off the edge.
Bespoke
One piece, drafted to your contour.
We draft the system around how your business actually moves — not a category template. One platform, no glue, no gaps. You hold the deed: the code, the models, the data.
Off-the-shelf SaaS is a furnished apartment that almost fits. Buzzed Tech is the house drafted around how your business actually moves — and you hold the deed.
What goes, what shrinks, what becomes yours.

SaaS baseline anchored to Zylo’s 2025 SaaS Management Index average of $4,830 per employee per year, distributed across categories at typical mid-market weights. Custom-tool figures are build amortization + maintenance estimates only and exclude pass-through cloud and AI inference costs, which sit on your accounts. Your stack will differ; we walk it line by line on the Discovery call.
The Principles
Four principles. Non-negotiable.
You own the deed.
Every line of code, every model weight, every workflow lives on your rails. On-prem, your private cloud, or hosted by us - your call. Export at any time.
Direct line.
You always know who's building it. The engineer on the thread is the engineer on the code.
We ship while they scope.
McKinsey takes nine months to deliver a slide deck. We deliver running production code in five weeks - because the team you talk to is the team writing it. Lean systems, no padding, no billable theatre.
Security comes pre-installed.
Guardrails, output validation, and abuse-resistant prompts are part of the build - not a follow-on engagement. Your AI will never be leveraged against you.
Bring us your messiest workflow.
Thirty minutes from now, you'll know what we'd build, what it would replace, and roughly when it ships. Five weeks from now, it's running. No 47-slide deck - just a conversation about what to build first and what it would save.
