Custom builds for your business

When the software you can buy doesn’t fit, we build what does: CRM systems, internal tools and apps, a complete operating system for your business, or engineering that works inside your team.

Illustration. Every build is designed around your business.

Engineering inside your team

Forward deployed engineering

An engineer from NAU Labs works alongside your team, learns how your business runs, and builds AI into your daily operations. Instead of a one time project, you get steady progress you can see.

  • Works directly with your staff
  • Finds where AI saves the most time
  • Builds into the tools you already use
  • Trains your team as it goes
  • Keeps improving, month after month

Ideas to start with

Not sure where to begin? Here are good places to start. Each one can stand alone or grow into a full system.

Drafts in your own format

Letters, proposals and reports drafted from your templates, ready for your review.

An inbox that sorts itself

Messages sorted and summarized, with replies drafted in your voice for you to send.

Answers from your own files

Ask a question in plain words and get an answer from your documents, with the source.

Reports without the busywork

Weekly numbers and summaries pulled from your systems and delivered to you.

Deadlines that don’t slip

Dates, follow ups and appointments tracked, with reminders before they’re due.

    Discover

    We learn how your work runs today and where software can save the most time.

  3. 03

    Build and deploy

    We build it, test it on your real work, and put it into daily use.

  4. 04

    Support

    After launch, we keep it running, fix what comes up, and improve it as your business grows.

Regulated work

Private builds for regulated work

Law firms, clinics, accounting firms and insurance agencies handle information that rules protect. For them, we build private systems made only for each business, instead of offering shared software.

Why NAU Labs

Built with you,
supported after launch

Your data stays yours

Your information belongs to your business, and it stays that way. After launch, we support and improve the software.

Led by the founder

Every build is led by Josh Garcia, the founder of NAU Labs, from the first conversation to launch.

Already at work

Our software already runs in real businesses every day.

Questions, answered

Can’t find what you need? Ask us directly.

How long does a build take?

It depends on what we build. After our first conversation, you get a plan with the scope and timeline before any work starts.

What does it cost?

Every build is quoted after we understand what you need, so you know the cost before work starts.

Can you build for HIPAA or other rules?

Yes. Work that has to meet rules like HIPAA is done as a private build. It runs where you control the data, uses AI services under agreements that fit your rules, and is planned with you and your advisors, including the agreements it needs.

Who owns our data?

You do. Your data stays yours, and we use it only to build and run your system. Our Security and data page has the details.

Do we need technical staff?

No. We handle the building, setup and support, and we train your team on what we build.

Can you work with the tools we already use?

Yes. We build around the software you rely on, like your email, calendar and files, and connect to other systems where they allow it.

What happens after launch?

We keep your system running, fix what comes up, and keep improving it as your business grows.

How is this different from Harness?

Harness is our product, ready for anyone to use. A custom build is made for your business alone, and it can include Harness when it fits.
