We build AI systems that pay for themselves

We're a small team of engineers and designers. We build agents, automation, and software, and we ship them to production.

What we build

If someone on your team does it by hand every week, we can probably automate it.

AI Agents

They work inside your tools, take the actions you approve, and hand the tricky cases to a person.

  1. read
  2. decide
  3. act

Automation

Reports, approvals, and handoffs that run on their own. No more copy and paste.

  1. intake
  2. review
  3. done

Products

Internal tools and customer-facing apps, designed and shipped in weeks.

  1. problem
  2. product

APIs & Integrations

Your CRM, payments, support desk, and warehouse, finally talking to each other.

How a project runs

One small team, from the first call to launch day.

  1. 01within 12 hours

    Tell us the problem

    A few lines is enough. We reply within 12 hours and book a 30-minute call.

  2. 02before we start

    Agree a fixed price

    Scope, timeline, and cost are written down before any work begins.

  3. 034–8 weeks

    We build in your stack

    Your repository, your tools, your real data. Whatever already works stays.

  4. 04live

    It goes live

    You get the code, the docs, and a runbook. We stay on to run it if you want.

In their words

“The agent they built handles sending files and following up with clients, which used to take one of us two full days a week.”
Founder, Video Production Company
“We'd been putting off automating our reporting for ages and they had it done in about three weeks.”
Operations Lead, SaaS Startup
“They rebuilt our onboarding, which was half manual and half Zapier flows that kept breaking, and support tickets went way down after that.”
CTO, Fintech
“Results get logged automatically when a run finishes now. Before that we were typing them into three different spreadsheets by hand.”
Research Scientist, Biotech Lab
“Honestly the main thing is our inventory numbers are actually right now. It all used to be typed in by hand, now the scanners feed straight into the system.”
CEO, Warehousing Company
“They built all our internal outreach tools.”
Head of Operations, AI Safety Organization
“Colin built the internal tools, API and SDK our researchers use every day, and it's made us a lot faster.”
Research Lead, AI Research Lab
“The custom store they built is so much better than the plugin mess we had on Shopify.”
Founder, E-commerce Brand

Secure, documented, and yours

SOC 2 readiness

Controls your security team can review

Role-based access, encryption, audit logs, and operating controls from the first release.

GDPR

The data plan comes first

What we collect, where it lives, who can see it, how long we keep it, and how we delete it.

your repo

You own every line

The code lives in your repository, not ours. You can take it anywhere.

runbook

A handover your team can run

Deployment notes, evaluation cases, and a runbook. Or we stay on and run it with you.

What it costs

Sprint

1 week

$5,000

One week. We map the problem and ship a working piece of it.

  • A working prototype or technical proof
  • All the code, in your repository
  • What we found and what to do next

MVP

~1 month

From $20K

A first release real people can use.

  • One working product or process
  • Product and interface design
  • Deployment, documentation, and handover

Scale-up

2+ months

$75K–$250K

Bigger builds across several systems or teams.

  • Agents, automation, and integrations

  • Launch support and optional maintenance

Questions we get before a project

What does Galactus build?

AI agents, automation, integrations, internal tools, and customer-facing software. Most projects start with a job someone does by hand, or a prototype nobody had time to finish.

How much does it cost?

A one-week sprint is $5,000. An MVP starts at $20,000. Larger builds across several systems usually cost $75,000 to $250,000. We agree the price before we start.

How long does a project take?

A sprint is one week. Most first releases go live in four to eight weeks. Projects across several systems or teams take longer.

Can you work with our stack?

Yes. We work in your codebase, with your tools, data, and permissions. If something already works, we leave it alone.

Who owns the code?

You do. It lives in your repository, with deployment notes, evaluation cases, and a runbook. We can hand it over fully, or stay on to monitor, maintain, and improve it.

What happens on the first call?

It takes 30 minutes. You tell us about the problem. We tell you straight whether we can help, how long it would take, and roughly what it would cost. No sales pitch.

Questions we get after a project

“How did you do this so fast?”

One small team, one problem at a time. We build on what you already have instead of starting over.

“Wait, we own all of this?”

All of it. Every line is in your repository, and you can take it anywhere.

“What happens if it breaks?”

Open the runbook. Or keep us on and we'll handle it.

“Can you do the next one?”

Yes. It goes faster the second time, because we already know your systems.
