Tectome

Tectome is a London-based AI engineering studio founded in 2010 that ships production AI agents, automations, and custom software. The company claims 50+ systems in production, $2M+ in automated operating costs for clients, and 100% client retention across 23 engagements. They operate with small senior teams (typically one lead, one engineer, one designer per project) and work from London and New York, available for immediate start.

The core pitch is speed: most projects ship in 2 to 4 weeks from signed SOW to production, with their fastest launch at 9 days. Their methodology compresses discovery to one week (you get a written plan and fixed-price proposal regardless of hire), build to 2–4 weeks (daily reviews, staging deploys within week one), and ship with 30 days of hand-holding included. They integrate into your workflow via Slack, GitHub, and Linear, with no account managers or middlemen.

Services and capabilities

Tectome's service menu breaks into six areas. AI Automation handles custom agents and automation pipelines for document processing, lead qualification, and operational workflows. Custom AI Development covers multi-agent systems, RAG pipelines, copilots, and AI products built from scratch. AI-Powered Software delivers full-stack applications (Next.js, TypeScript, Supabase) with AI baked in, targeting internal tools and customer-facing products. AI Integrations wire intelligent systems into existing platforms: HubSpot, Salesforce, Slack, Xero, Stripe. Web & Product Engineering builds high-performance, SEO-optimized websites and web apps. AI Interface Design covers chat UIs, dashboards, copilot surfaces, and agent monitoring.

On the tech stack, they work with LLMs from OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), Google (Gemini), Meta, Mistral, DeepSeek, and others. Infrastructure runs on AWS, Azure, Cloudflare, and Vercel. For orchestration and automation: LangChain, CrewAI, n8n, Zapier. Front-end and design tools include Next.js, Figma, Cursor, and GitHub. They explicitly mention Supabase for backend databases.

Notable work

How they work

Engagement is fixed-price discovery (one week), build (2–4 weeks), and ship with handover plus 30 days of support. Optional retainer for ongoing iteration. You own all code, data, and infrastructure—no lock-in. They integrate into your repo and run daily code reviews. Weekly demos show progress. Team size scales to your stage, from pre-seed MVPs to $50M+ ARR systems. Communication happens through Slack, GitHub, and Linear. A 30-minute initial call requires no prep; you leave with a working opinion and a fixed-price proposal within three days if it's a fit.
