Not a tool. Not a plugin. A complete AI-augmented operations deployment.
Memory That Compounds
Most AI tools start fresh every time. Ours remember. 6-layer memory means your AI workforce builds institutional knowledge — just like your best employees, but faster.
Validated by Veterans
Every deployment is reviewed by industry veterans from HMRC, EY, Deloitte, ION, Meta, and Spotify. Enterprise-grade validation, not startup guesswork.
Deployed in Days, Not Months
Traditional consultancies take 6-12 months to transform operations. We deploy AI departments in days. Full operational layers in weeks.
Your IP, Your Data
Everything we build is yours. No vendor lock-in. No data leaving your infrastructure. Full audit trails. Enterprise security by default.

Real Founders. Real Results.
Trusted by funded UK startups. Zero failed sprints. 100% would recommend.
MVP Sprint → Production in 12 days
"We needed to ship our MVP before our seed round closed. 1aym delivered in 12 days. Production-ready, not a prototype. Investors were impressed we moved so fast. Would have taken us 3 months with a hire."
12 days → Production MVP, investors impressed
Alex T.
Founder & CEO, Stealth Fintech (Seed)
Feature Sprint → Enterprise blocker shipped
"Our team was at capacity but we had a critical feature blocking enterprise deals. 1aym ran a Feature Sprint and shipped it in 2 weeks. Clean code, full docs, zero drama. We've done 3 sprints with them now."
2 weeks → Feature shipped, 3 enterprise deals closed
Sarah M.
CTO, UK B2B SaaS (Series A)
Infra Sprint → CI/CD overhaul
"Finally, an agency that doesn't bill by the hour. Fixed price, fixed scope, no surprises. The Infra Sprint sorted our CI/CD mess and now deploys take 5 minutes instead of 2 hours."
2 hours → 5 minutes deploy time
Josh K.
Founder & CTO, UK Dev Tools Startup
MVP Sprint → Shipped on day 14
"I was skeptical about a 2-week timeline. They hit it exactly. Daily updates, no BS, shipped on day 14. The code quality was better than our internal team's. We've referred them to 3 other founders."
Exactly 2 weeks → 3 founder referrals
