Design and ship production-grade software. With the plan defined, Archie Labs moves from UI/UX and system design into development by AI-enhanced teams — net-new products, re-platformed systems, and the AI agents around them.
This is where the plan becomes a product. A complete engagement on its own — bring a finished plan and we'll design and ship it — and the middle phase of an end-to-end partnership, with the same team carrying you all the way through. Engage any phase on its own, or go end-to-end with us.
This phase is for clients moving from a defined plan into making the product real — a few weeks of design, then development by teams that pair human craft with agentic AI.
Plan in hand
You have a defined plan and need it built.
You know what to build — now it needs designing and shipping. We run a few weeks of UI/UX and system design, then develop with AI-enhanced teams that move faster and smarter, delivering production-grade software, not a prototype.
Modernize and automate
You're re-platforming or adding AI to what you run.
Your software or data needs to move onto modern infrastructure, or you want AI agents working inside your product. We re-platform existing systems and data, then design and build the agentic AI around them.
Capabilities
What we deliver.
Three disciplines that turn a defined plan into shipped, production-grade software — built faster by AI-enhanced teams.
Experienced in regulated environments — including HIPAA, FERPA, and WCAG accessibility.
01 — Capability
Custom Software Development
Custom software development is building applications tailored to your business instead of forcing your workflow into off-the-shelf tools. Archie Labs designs and ships production-grade web and mobile software with AI-enhanced teams that move faster than a traditional agency.
We start with a few weeks of UI/UX and system design. From the approved design, our proprietary Archie platform generates a large share of the backend and frontend code, which our elite nearshore engineers then refine and harden to production grade — that’s how AI-enhanced teams ship faster without sacrificing craftsmanship.
Net-new products — web and mobile applications built from your defined plan.
Design, then generate and refine — UI/UX and system design up front, then Archie-platform code generation hardened by engineers.
Production-grade — tested, performant software built to ship and last.
02 — Capability
Agentic AI Development
Agentic AI development is building autonomous AI systems — agents that reason, take actions, and complete multi-step work — embedded into your product. Archie Labs designs, builds, and ships these agents around your software and data.
This is the heart of how we build. Rather than bolting a chatbot on top, we develop agents that do real work inside your workflows, integrated with your systems and governed for safety.
Custom agents — autonomous systems that reason and act inside your product.
System integration — agents wired into your data, tools, and workflows.
Safe and governed — guardrails, evaluation, and oversight built in.
03 — Capability
Data Platforms and Re-platforming
Data platforms and re-platforming covers building the data foundations modern AI needs and migrating legacy systems and data onto modern, scalable infrastructure. Archie Labs re-platforms aging software and data so it’s reliable, performant, and AI-ready.
Most AI ambitions stall on old data and brittle systems. We modernize the foundation — migrating data, rebuilding platforms, and making everything ready for the agents that run on top of it.
Data platforms — pipelines and stores built for analytics and AI.
Re-platforming — legacy software and data migrated to modern infrastructure.
AI-ready — foundations that let agentic AI plug in safely and scale.
How it works
The Process.
From a defined plan to shipped software — design first, then development by AI-enhanced teams.
01
Design
A few weeks of UI/UX and system design turn the plan into concrete interfaces and architecture.
02
Develop
Our Archie platform generates much of the code from the design; AI-enhanced nearshore teams then refine and harden it — net-new or re-platformed — at speed.
03
Integrate
We build the agentic AI and data foundations around it, wired into your systems.
04
Ship
Tested, production-grade software deployed — and handed off cleanly to Scale.
FAQ
Common Questions
What does this phase include?
This phase starts with a few weeks of UI/UX and system design, then moves into development by AI-enhanced teams. Archie Labs builds net-new software, re-platforms existing systems and data, and builds AI agents around your product.
Can this phase start without a finished plan?
This phase is strongest when it follows a Consult roadmap, but it doesn’t require one. If you arrive with a plan defined, we move straight into design and development; if not, we run a short discovery first.
What kinds of software can Archie Labs build?
Archie Labs builds production-grade web and mobile applications, re-platforms legacy software and data onto modern infrastructure, and develops agentic AI systems embedded into your product.
How are AI-enhanced teams different from a traditional agency?
Archie Labs pairs elite nearshore engineers with proprietary agentic AI that removes repetitive work. The result is production-grade software shipped faster, without sacrificing craftsmanship.
Do you build both web and mobile?
Yes. Archie Labs designs and ships web and mobile applications, along with the data platforms and AI agents that power them.
How is it priced?
This phase is time-and-materials, with a mobilization fee to begin and monthly billing against actual work. Unlike Consult’s fixed fee, it flexes with scope as the product takes shape.
Do you offer flexible payment for larger builds?
Yes. For larger engagements we can cap your monthly cash outlay and defer the remaining balance interest-free while work continues, to match your cash flow.
What happens next?
It hands off to Scale, where Archie Labs extends your team with nearshore talent and provides ongoing maintenance and support to sustain what was shipped.
