Software that runs your business—buy it or have it built.
Thirteen years of building custom systems taught us what small businesses keep needing. So we built it and now sell it—and we still build the ones nobody sells.
THE SUITE
Steward & Panel
An assistant that watches your business, and the instruments that run it. $49 a seat, everything included.

OUR PRODUCTS
Two ways to stop losing time to the business side
They aren't sold separately. One $49 seat gets your person both—plus every instrument we ship next. One sign-in, one bill, one place your data lives, and nothing sent on your behalf without your approval.
Steward
AI business assistant
For consultants, agencies, and professional service firms. Steward watches your calendar, invoices, time, and who's gone quiet—then hands you the follow-up already written.
- → A short daily list, with the email already drafted
- → Reads QuickBooks, Harvest, Google, Microsoft—no data entry
- → You approve everything, until you decide otherwise
Included in your suite seat · nothing extra to buy
Panel
The instruments your business needs
One home for the narrow tools that don't deserve their own app—a request queue, an early-warning watch, an automation that tidies up after itself. Turn on what you need.
- → Eight instruments running today, more on the way
- → Automation you can govern: gates, audit log, undo, kill switch
- → Need one that doesn't exist? We build it as an instrument

WHO THIS IS FOR
You have a challenge that's unique to your business.
If you could buy a solution, you would have. But your process, your constraints, your environment—they're uniquely yours. Generic products were never going to work. The workarounds you've tried? Band-aids that don't really fit either. You need something built for how you operate.
That's us. We've been building solutions like this for 13 years—software, AI systems, IoT, embedded devices, and the integrations that connect them. And we build them right: secure, accessible, and production-ready from day one.
HOW WE DELIVER VALUE
We Solve Business Problems With Technology
You don't need a technology vendor. You need a partner who understands your business and delivers results. We combine software, AI, IoT, and hardware into solutions that move the needle.
Understand Your Business
We start by listening. What's the bottleneck? What's costing you money? We dig into your operations so we can design the right solution—not just any solution.
Build the Right Solution
Software, AI, connected devices, integrations—we use whatever combination of technology actually solves the problem. No over-engineering, no shelfware.
Deliver Measurable Results
Our solutions ship to production and stay there. Reduced costs, faster operations, new revenue streams—outcomes you can measure, not just deliverables.
No vaporware. No promises we can't keep. Just honest conversations about how we can help.
CAPABILITIES
What We Bring to the Build
AI-powered software is our foundation. IoT, embedded systems, and custom hardware extend what we can solve.
Software Development
Web apps, APIs, dashboards, mobile. Production-grade systems using Elixir, Phoenix, and modern stacks.
IoT & Embedded Systems
Sensors, connected devices, edge computing, real-time monitoring. This is core to what we do—deployed across hospitality, agriculture, and industrial environments.
AI That Powers the Solution
Computer vision, decision engines, LLM integration. Systems that optimize themselves—learning from data to get smarter over time.
Custom Hardware & Robotics
When your problem needs a physical solution—devices, sensors, mobile platforms—we design and build it for your specific needs.
Secure by Design
Security isn't an afterthought—it's built in from day one. Secure architecture, encrypted communications, access controls, and ongoing vulnerability management.
System Integration
We connect to what you have. ERPs, databases, legacy systems, APIs. You don't have to rip and replace.
TRACK RECORD

ABOUT COBENIAN
AI-Powered Solutions. Hardware When You Need It.
We're a small, senior engineering team based in the US. Founded in 2012, we've spent 13 years building custom solutions—software, IoT systems, embedded devices—for companies that need things to actually work in production.
We started with software and expanded into connected hardware because our clients' problems kept leading there. Sensors, devices, physical automation—when the solution needs to exist in the real world, we build that too.
No finger-pointing between vendors. Solutions that are intelligent from day one—and get smarter over time.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Before You Reach Out
ABOUT THE PRODUCTS
What does it cost to try?
Nothing for fourteen days, and we don't ask for a card. After that it's $49 per seat per month for the whole suite—Steward and every Panel instrument, with $20 of AI usage per seat included. Full pricing.
Do I need someone technical to set it up?
No. You sign in with your Google or Microsoft account, pick two or three things you want handled, and connect QuickBooks or Harvest if you use them. About five minutes, no IT project.
Are you reading my email?
No. We see who wrote, when, and about what subject—never the body of your incoming or outgoing mail. Connection tokens are encrypted, your data is isolated to your workspace, and deleting your account deletes it. The details are in the privacy policy.
What if it doesn't fit how we work?
Cancel yourself, any time, without emailing anyone. Or tell us what's missing—sometimes the honest answer is that you need something built, and we do that too.
ABOUT CUSTOM WORK
How much does a custom project cost?
The cheapest answer is usually not a project at all—if one of our products already does it, that's $49 a seat and you're running this week. We'll tell you when that's the case.
When it does need building, focused projects start around $25K. That floor isn't a price we picked; it's what it takes to understand your operation, build something production-ready, deploy it, and stand behind it. Large systems with custom hardware run well beyond that. You'll have real numbers before you commit to anything, and if your problem is smaller than the floor, we'll say so rather than sell you a project.
How long does a project take?
Software: 2–6 months, typically. With custom hardware: 4–12 months. We scope carefully and give realistic timelines up front—and you see working software long before the end.
What if I'm not sure what I need?
That's fine—most conversations start there. You describe the problem, and we'll figure out what's possible and what makes sense together. No commitment required.
Do you work with existing systems?
Yes. We integrate with ERPs, databases, legacy systems, and third-party APIs all the time. You don't have to rip and replace—we connect to what you have.
What happens if things change?
They always do. The world is fluid, and so is our process. We build iteratively, stay in close contact, and adapt as you learn more about what you need. Requirements evolve—we expect that and plan for it.
What's the Problem You're Trying to Solve?
Tell us about the challenge that's been keeping you up at night. The unique problem that off-the-shelf can't touch.
We'll have a real conversation—not a sales pitch—about whether we can help.
Email reaches a person, usually the one who'd do the work. We answer the same business day.
