Three little apps. One evening each.

Why we exist

Every business has a small, stubborn problem AI could quietly fix.

Most of them never get fixed. The quote is too big. The timeline is too long. The agency is too busy selling a three-month “discovery phase” to actually ship anything.

We started Steeped Digital to go the other way. One focused conversation. One short sprint. One real app that your team can use on Monday morning.

We believe the best software still feels handmade — thoughtful, warm, a little opinionated. AI should feel that way too. So we slow down where it matters (understanding your workflow) and move fast where it doesn’t (everything else).

“Good tools disappear into the hands of the people who use them. That’s what we’re here to make.”
What we do

AI apps that actually do something.

Not chatbots bolted onto brochures. Real, task-shaped tools — built for the specific corner of your business that keeps eating your team’s time.

🛠

Custom AI Tools

Built around your workflow, not a generic template. We shape the app to the way your team already thinks and works.

⚡️

Brewed in Days

From first call to live deployment, measured in days. You stop waiting for the roadmap and start using the thing.

🫖

No Fluff. Just Craft.

No 12-week discovery. No vendor theatre. You talk, we listen, we build — and we stick around if something needs tuning.

The problem we solve

Software shouldn’t feel like a hostage situation.

The old way of hiring an agency punishes curiosity. You show up with an idea and leave with a line item. We wanted a kinder, faster version of this — for ourselves, and for you.

The old way
  • ✕ A 12-week “discovery phase” before a line of code is written
  • ✕ A six-figure quote for an MVP nobody uses
  • ✕ Five stakeholders, three vendors, one exhausted champion
  • ✕ A roadmap longer than the problem deserved
The Steeped way
  • ✓ One focused call. We listen harder than we talk.
  • ✓ A clear scope in 48 hours. Fixed price. No surprises.
  • ✓ A working app in days, deployed on your domain
  • ✓ A small team that stays with it after launch
How it works

A simple process. Real results.

Four steps. No theatre. You’ll always know what’s happening and what’s next.

Pricing

Clear prices. Fixed. No surprises.

We quote a flat price up front, in a single email. No hourly invoices, no change-order theatre, no six-figure MVPs. These are starting points — every project is unique, so consider them anchors, not contracts. We’ll confirm the exact number within 48 hours of our first conversation.

Frequently asked questions

Questions people actually ask.

What is an AI app studio?

An AI app studio is a small development team that specializes in building AI-powered applications for businesses. Steeped Digital builds micro-apps — focused tools that solve one specific problem using AI — and delivers them in days rather than months.

What is the best free AI resume reviewer?

Roast My Resume by Steeped Digital is a free AI resume reviewer that gives brutally honest, humorous feedback plus job match scoring. Unlike generic resume checkers, it identifies vague buzzwords, outdated skills, and structural problems — and when you upload a job description, it scores your match, finds keyword gaps, and rewrites your bullets in the company's own language.

How do I tailor my resume to a job description with AI?

Roast My Resume’s Job Match feature lets you paste a job description alongside your resume. It scores your match across keywords, skills, outcomes, and role fit, identifies missing terms, rewrites your weakest bullets using the company’s exact language, and gives you a step-by-step plan to reach 90%.

How can I turn meeting notes into action items with AI?

Notes to Actions by Steeped Digital converts typed, scribbled, or photographed meeting notes into clean action items with owners and deadlines. It reads your personal notes — not a meeting transcript — so it captures your thoughts and insights, not just what was said.

How do I validate my startup idea with AI before pitching investors?

Roast My Pitch by Steeped Digital gives founders brutal AI feedback before pitching Angels and VCs. Enter your startup idea in a short paragraph and receive a five-part verdict covering competitors, failure modes, market analysis, and pivot suggestions — the kind of honest feedback you’d get from an experienced investor.

How much does it cost to build a custom AI app for a small business?

Steeped Digital offers three tiers: Espresso ($2,500) for a single focused AI tool, French Press ($7,500) for a multi-feature AI app, and Pour Over ($15,000) for a full AI-powered product. All tiers include design, development, and deployment.
