Built by Amazon and Walmart engineers. Running in our own business.
We build working AI tools for small and mid-sized businesses — with a fixed price, a clear scope, and code you own. Not a strategy deck. A system your team uses on Monday.
Most AI projects fail. We build the ones that don’t.
The demand from small businesses is real — but so is the failure rate. The firms that succeed at this level aren’t the ones with the most impressive credentials. They’re the ones that scope it straight, ship working systems, and don’t disappear after the invoice is paid.
Cadence AI is running a real business right now.
Sandeep built Cadence as the operations assistant for Lindsey’s short-term-rental business. It reads across her PMS, pricing, cleaning and accounting tools, drafts the next move the moment something needs attention — then waits for her approval before anything goes out. One conversation, every tool.
Every single day.
More control.
“I'm not guessing what a small-business owner needs from AI.
I'm one — and I run my business on this every day.”
Three AI products. None are demos. All three run.
Cadence AI
An operations assistant for short-term-rental managers — it reads your PMS, pricing and cleaning tools, drafts the next move, and waits for your approval.

A proactive AI coach: connects your wearables, then messages you the exact training to do today — and why.

When a health claim is denied, it decodes why, says who’s responsible, and hands you the call script and appeal path.

Most teams reach for an off-the-shelf tool, a freelancer, their own IT person — or they wait. Each is reasonable. Each has a ceiling. Here’s honestly where each one stops.
Quick wins, hard ceiling
ChatGPT, Copilot, Make. Great for drafting and summaries — but they can’t plug into your QuickBooks, your CRM, or your real workflow.
A rate, not a result
An hourly rate is cheap until the project balloons. No one owns whether it actually ships and gets used in your operation.
Always the side task
Your IT person knows the business — but the AI build always loses to the day job. Eighteen months later, the problem’s still there.
No cost — today
Nothing to spend, nothing to disrupt. But the problem compounds, and the competitors who moved aren’t waiting for you.
For the first time, small business isn’t the one left behind.
For a decade, the best software went to companies with the biggest budgets. AI broke that pattern. The tools are here, they’re affordable, and the gap between a corner shop and a Fortune 100 has nearly vanished. What’s missing isn’t technology anymore — it’s someone to tell you, plainly, what’s worth building.
The barrier was never the technology. It’s knowing what to build — and that’s the part we take off your plate.
So we make the path obvious — and walk it with you.
Readiness Review
One structured hour. We tell you whether AI is the right answer — and what it would take. Sometimes the honest answer is “not yet.”
Scope & fixed quote
A defined scope, a fixed price, and exactly what we need from you in week one. No open-ended billing, ever.
Build & ship
We build a working system — tested against your real operations, not a controlled demo. You see it run on your data.
Handoff — you own it
You own the code from day one. Built to be maintained and handed off — never to lock you in.
You’ll recognize yourself in one of these.
Three kinds of operators come to us. The honest answer is different for each — and so is where we’d start.
The Burned-Once Operator
You spent real money on a project that never shipped — or shipped and nobody used it. You’re not anti-AI. You’re anti-overpromise.
“Here’s a system running a real business today. Want to see it?”
The Data-Rich Operator
Your numbers live in QuickBooks, a CRM, and a spreadsheet one person maintains. There’s value you can’t reach — and a data scientist isn’t a $150k hire you can make.
“Give us one hour. We’ll tell you honestly whether you’re ready — and what it’d take.”
The Technical Founder
You know what the AI has to do. You can’t scope, staff, or cost the build — and you’ve been burned by estimates that ballooned.
“We’ll challenge your architecture before we build it. You own the code from day one.”
Three ways to start. One team responsible.
Every project is fixed-scope, with pricing quoted up front — no open-ended billing. Start with a Readiness Review, and reach out anytime to learn more.

Two operators. Eight years. No learning curve.
Both of us spent years inside Amazon and Walmart — engineering on one side, technical and operational program management on the other. That pairing is what prevents the most common ways AI projects fail.
Sandeep Barhanpure
Leads Health & Benefits engineering at Walmart — a platform serving 1.6M members and a new healthcare line built from zero. Previously head of engineering at AWS. Built all three of our products.
I’ve spent my career building AI for millions of users at big companies. The same tools can do just as much for a ten-person business — they just never get built for them, because no one makes it simple or affordable. I want to be the person who does.

Lindsey Barhanpure
Led technical and operational programs in the retail and supply chain organizations at Amazon and Walmart. Now owner of B Home Management & B Home Essentials — and the real customer who runs her business on Cadence AI every day.
I run a small business, and I felt how much of the day disappears into busywork. Once we built Cadence and it gave me that time back, I couldn’t unsee it — every owner I know is drowning in the same tasks. I want to get them the same relief.
LinkedIn · Lindsey ↗If the output isn’t usable by a non-technical operator, it isn’t done.
No jargon. No inflated promises. We tell clients what they need to hear.
Labs mentality — test, break, rebuild, simplify. We iterate until it’s right.
Fixed scope, fixed price, and a real answer when something goes wrong.
