Work with us

Bring a problem.
Leave with something that works.

Campfire Labs is me, Adrian Davies. I build AI tools, apps and cloud for teams who want something useful, not a slide deck. I start small, I tell you what it will cost to run, and I build it to keep running.

What sounds most like you?

01

An AI assistant that knows your stuff

It answers your team's questions from your own documents, not the open internet.

At a previous job I built one for engineers. It saved people time in the first few weeks, and it grew from one team to twenty five.

  • A working assistant on your own material
  • Security in the room from day one, not at the end
  • One number we measure from week one: hours saved, tickets avoided or time to an answer

02

An app, from idea to people's phones

Web and iPhone from one codebase, so a fix made once works everywhere.

I built Solaces this way. It's on the App Store and the web, it runs on £9.42 a month, and 624 conversations have happened in it so far.

  • A live app real people can use, not a prototype
  • The App Store paperwork handled
  • A running bill you can predict before you build

03

Cloud that costs less and breaks less

Years of enterprise cloud and DevSecOps: Terraform, GCP, AWS and the pipelines that tie them together.

Most bills are servers running flat out for nobody. I set things up so you pay for what happens, not for what might.

  • A plain English review of where the money goes
  • Budgets and alerts that warn you early, like a low fuel light
  • Changes that go live automatically, so nobody loses an evening to deployments

One boring task, handed to AI

For teams who got a licence and a training session, and three months later almost nobody uses it.

We pick one dull task your team already moans about, try it with AI for a month, and count what changes. It either earns its place or it doesn't. Either way, you'll know.

  • One task, one team, one honest number
  • Simple rules for what can and can't go into AI
  • A clear call at the end: grow it or drop it

How it goes

  1. 1A chat. Tell me the problem, not the solution. If AI isn't the answer, I'll say so.
  2. 2A small proof. Something working with your real material, measured from the start.
  3. 3Grow it. Only if the number says so.

What I won't do

Pull up a chair.

Email me with the problem in a few lines. I read every message myself.
