Software & Platforms
SaaS products, marketplaces and internal platforms, with the APIs between them, engineered to run for years.
Engineering Intelligent Systems
Automade Studio is a systems architecture and engineering firm. We build production software, AI and agentic systems, data platforms, cloud and security as one architecture.
Apps are easy to generate. Systems that last are not.
AI can produce a working prototype in an afternoon. It can't decide how that prototype survives real users, real data, real payments and real attackers.
That is where most generated software breaks: no data model, no security boundary, no monitoring, and no plan for ten times the traffic.
Automade Studio is built for that gap. We are architects and engineers first. We map the data flows, trust boundaries, failure modes and running costs, then build with the right tools for the job, AI included. You get infrastructure your company can run on for years, not a demo you rebuild in six months.
- Survives failures, traffic spikes and abuse
- Security boundaries at the edge and the gateway
- Heavy work runs in the background, with retries
- Logs, metrics and traces from the first release
- Documented, tested and ready to hand over
What we build
Seven disciplines, engineered as one system
Hire us for the whole build or for a single layer. Every discipline shares the same foundation, so the product, the data, the automation and the security work together.
AI & Agents
Agents and retrieval that do real work inside your business, with permissions, audit trails and a person in the loop.
Automation
The manual steps between your tools, replaced with workflows that recover from failure and run unattended.
Data Platforms
Pipelines, warehouses and indexes that make your data trustworthy for people, dashboards and AI alike.
Cloud & Infrastructure
Cloud architecture, delivery pipelines and reliability, with the cloud bill treated as an engineering number.
Cybersecurity
Security designed into the architecture, reviews that find the gaps attackers use, and a response when something goes wrong.
Growth Systems
The engineering behind acquisition and retention: CRM, outbound, funnels and the data that ties each touch to revenue.
Every service, in detail
Pick a discipline to see what we deliver and the tools we use. Each one has its own page with working mockups.
Software & Platforms
We build the software companies run on.
Multi-tenant SaaS products, two-sided marketplaces and booking platforms, operational platforms, customer portals and the APIs that connect them. Every system starts with an architecture pass: the data model, the API contract, the authentication and authorisation model, the deployment topology and the cost curve.
What we deliver
- Architecture and data-model design, with decision records
- Multi-tenant SaaS platforms and internal tools
- Marketplaces, booking and reservation systems, payments and payouts
- Background services: job queues, schedulers, workers and event pipelines
- REST and GraphQL APIs, webhooks and partner integrations
- Web apps in Next.js, React and TypeScript; mobile in React Native and Flutter
- Desktop apps in Electron and browser extensions for Chrome (Manifest V3)
- Backend services in Node.js (NestJS, Express), Python and Go
- Product and UX design: research, wireframes, prototypes and design systems in Figma
- Legacy modernisation and re-platforming

AI & Agents
AI that does real work, safely.
We build agents that act inside your business: they read your data, call your systems through the same APIs as your apps, and take steps on their own where it is safe to. Where it is not, such as moving money or contacting customers, a person approves first.
What we deliver
- Agent design: tools, permissions and human-approval steps
- Retrieval over your documents, tickets and databases
- Support, operations and sales agents that act through your APIs
- Multi-agent workflows with clear hand-offs
- Evaluation suites, regression tests and release gates
- Guardrails: prompt-injection defence, privacy filters and limits
- Audit trails and cost and latency monitoring
- AI features inside your existing product
Typical stack
- OpenAI
- Anthropic
- Open-source models
- LangGraph
- LlamaIndex
- pgvector
- Pinecone
- Python
- TypeScript
- FastAPI
- Redis
- PostgreSQL
Automation
Take the copy-and-paste out of your operations.
Most businesses run on people moving information between tools: forms into the CRM, orders into accounting, approvals over email. We map those processes, then replace the manual steps with workflows that run on their own.
What we deliver
- Process mapping with your team
- Workflows across CRM, finance, support and operations
- Approval steps on web and mobile
- Billing, onboarding and reporting automation
- Retries, timeouts, alerts and run history
- n8n and Make builds, or custom workers in code
- Integrations with your SaaS tools and internal systems
- Documentation and handover to your team
Typical stack
- n8n
- Make
- Zapier
- Temporal
- Node.js
- Python
- Webhooks
- REST APIs
- PostgreSQL
- Redis
- Slack
- Google Workspace
Data Platforms
Data your people, dashboards and AI can trust.
Most companies have their data spread across an app database, payments, a CRM and analytics tools, each with its own version of the truth. We bring it together into a warehouse with clear models, so revenue, customers and orders mean the same thing everywhere.
What we deliver
- Warehouse and lakehouse design
- Pipelines with change data capture and API syncs
- Data models for revenue, customers and operations
- Data tests, freshness checks and lineage
- Dashboards and self-serve reporting
- Search and vector indexes for AI and in-product search
- Data privacy, access control and retention
- Migrations from spreadsheets and legacy reporting
Typical stack
- PostgreSQL
- BigQuery
- Snowflake
- ClickHouse
- dbt
- Airbyte
- Debezium
- Kafka
- Python
- Elasticsearch
- pgvector
- Metabase
Cloud & Infrastructure
Infrastructure that ships safely and scales on its own.
We design cloud architecture around how your system actually behaves: where the load comes from, what has to stay up, and what it should cost. Everything is defined as code, in your own accounts, so it can be reviewed, repeated and handed over.
What we deliver
- Cloud architecture on AWS, Google Cloud or Azure
- Infrastructure as code with review and history
- CI/CD pipelines with tests, scans and staged releases
- Containers, Kubernetes and serverless where they fit
- Monitoring, logs, traces and alerting
- Autoscaling, backups and disaster recovery
- Cost reviews, forecasts and optimisation
- Runbooks and on-call support
Typical stack
- AWS
- Google Cloud
- Azure
- Terraform
- Docker
- Kubernetes
- GitHub Actions
- Cloudflare
- Vercel
- Prometheus
- Grafana
- OpenTelemetry
Cybersecurity
Security designed in, not bolted on.
Most breaches come through ordinary gaps: an exposed storage bucket, an admin account without MFA, an old dependency or a leaked key. We design systems so those gaps are hard to create, and review existing ones to find them before attackers do.
What we deliver
- Threat modelling and security architecture reviews
- Identity, access and MFA, with least privilege
- Secrets management and key rotation
- Cloud posture, dependency and code scanning
- Penetration-test preparation and remediation
- SOC 2, GDPR and HIPAA readiness
- Logging, detection and alerting
- Incident response plans and runbooks
Typical stack
- OWASP
- Snyk
- Trivy
- Semgrep
- Vault
- AWS IAM
- Cloudflare
- Okta
- Auth0
- OpenTelemetry
- Wazuh
- Terraform
Growth Systems
Growth you can measure back to revenue.
Growth breaks down when the tools don't talk: ads in one place, signups in another, deals in a CRM nobody trusts. We engineer the systems behind growth so every lead is captured, routed and followed up, and every sale can be traced back to where it started.
What we deliver
- CRM architecture and clean-up
- Lead capture, enrichment and routing
- Outbound and email sequences
- Funnels, landing pages and conversion tracking
- Server-side tracking and analytics
- Attribution and revenue reporting
- Product analytics and retention flows
- Integrations between ads, CRM and billing
Typical stack
- HubSpot
- Salesforce
- Pipedrive
- Segment
- GA4
- PostHog
- Mixpanel

Frequently asked questions
What does Automade Studio do?
We are a systems architecture and engineering firm. We design, build and run production systems across seven disciplines: software and platforms, AI and agents, automation, data, cloud, security and growth, engineered as one architecture.
Can we hire you for a single layer instead of the whole system?
Yes. Many engagements start with one discipline, such as an AI agent, a data pipeline or a security review. Because every discipline shares the same foundation, it fits into the rest of your system when you are ready.
Who owns the code and the infrastructure?
You do. Code lives in your repositories, infrastructure in your cloud accounts and credentials in your hands. There is no lock-in to us.
How does an engagement start?
With a scoping call, then a written scope with milestones and acceptance criteria. If we are not the right team for the work, we say so in writing.
What happens after launch?
Every system ships with monitoring, environments and runbooks. We can run it for you, including on-call, or train your team to run it, and we stay accountable either way.
Where are you based?
We are remote-first. Our registered office is in New York, for client meetings, and our operating office is in Ikoyi, Lagos. We work with clients in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and worldwide.
