Every enquiry answered the same morning.
AI agents read each new enquiry from your website and inbox, look up the customer, and draft the reply and the quote from your price list. Your sales team reads it and sends it.

Your own software, instead of rented SaaS
Send us your software bill. We'll cut it in half.
We build your own software to replace the tools you rent, with AI on your own data and your own terms. Once you've switched, you pay us half what you pay for them today.
You start paying us when you stop paying them.
You rent the software your business runs on.
It's built for every company.
So you pay for every feature, and your team uses a fraction of them.
You changed how you work to fit it.
Then you paid again to customize it, and its upgrades can break what you customized.
The harder it is to leave, the more each renewal costs.
SaaS prices rose about 12% a year. Here's the example bill at each renewal.
Your rented CRM: 400 features

Building got 10x cheaper and faster. Renting didn't.
Companies can now build software born in the age of AI agents, for a fraction of what it used to cost. AI agents do the routine work, and our engineers check every change before it ships.
Rented software still charges for every feature and every seat, and its prices rose about 12% a year. It's also out of date, and catching up with AI slowly.
In the age of AI, software is a commodity. It should be priced like one.

Your own AI software. Shaped to fit your business.
Here's how one order flows through rented software, and through the software you'll own. Tuesday, 9:02: Northwind orders 400 cases.
Today, in rented softwareThu 11:40
2 days7 hand-offs · typed in twice
The same order, in your own software, with AI agentsTue 9:42
40 minutes1 decision · nothing typed in twice
Rented: it goes round the houses.
The order goes through seven hand-offs. Someone types it in twice and prices it from a spreadsheet nobody trusts, then it waits on an email to Sam and a call to Mike for a van. Each tool keeps its own copy of your data, and its AI sees only that tool.
Yours is shaped like how you work.
It runs the same steps your teams take today, as one flow. AI agents take the order in, book the van and tell Northwind, while your rule sets the price and Sam approves it with one tap. Your data is in one place, so nothing is typed in twice.
Your software, with AI agents that work for your people.
- Something's off.Northwind's orders fall 31% in a month, with its renewal 41 days away.
- You ask in plain words.Why is Northwind at risk, and what should we do?
- It finds why,across orders, deliveries, service and the CRM: three late deliveries, two open complaints and a new buyer.
- You make the call.The $1,800 credit is over your limit, so it waits for you. The AI agents do the rest.
- Renewed.Six weeks later: two years, up 8%, and a suggested rule for next time. Names and numbers are illustrative.
The same AI agents, across your business.
Built on your own data and the way you work, your software widens your lead. Every workflow runs under your rules, with a person approving what matters.
Ordering
However an order arrives, we enter it once.
By email, phone, portal or a photo of a form: an AI agent reads the order, checks stock, price and credit, and books it. Anything unusual waits for a person.
Customer service
Customers answered in minutes, day or night.
Your AI agent answers by chat, email or phone in your company's name, finds the order, fixes what it's allowed to, like a new delivery slot or a refund within your policy, and passes the rest to a person with the notes.
Invoicing
Invoices go out on time, and we chase late ones politely.
An AI agent sends each invoice when the work is done, matches the payments that come in, and chases late ones in your tone. Disputes go to your finance team.
New starters
New starters are ready to go by day one.
An AI agent sets up their accounts, orders the laptop and books the training, with the manager approving each step.
Contracts
Before anyone signs, every contract gets checked.
Each clause compared with your policy, with the differences marked for your legal team.
Theirs is catching up. Yours starts with AI agents.
Rented software was designed for people clicking through screens, one seat at a time. Its AI is an add-on: it sees only its own product, and it can't act in your other tools. Yours is built for AI agents from the first line. They take on the routine work, so your best people get far more done.
No big switch-over weekend. One team at a time.

Who we are.
Armakuni builds software and AI inside our clients' companies, and hands it over. You'll meet the engineers who'd build yours in the first conversation.

Good. Cross them out.
These are the doubts we'd have in your seat, written on the proposal for your bill. Draw a line through one, or tap it, and our answer appears.
We'll build your own software, around how you work.
You'll pay $500,000 a year for what costs you $1,000,000 today.
And when we're done, it's yours. The code, the AI, the IP.

Pick any doubt. Cross it out.
Draw a line through it on the proposal, or tap it. Our answer appears here.
Cross out all eight and see what happens.
You pay for all of it. You use part of it.
We build the part you use, plus the jobs you do in spreadsheets. In two weeks we price it from your own usage, or tell you the half isn't there.
Because we carry the risk.
We build it, move you over and run it for two years, and you pay nothing until you've switched. Proposed terms.
Good. That's your edge.
Rented software made you hide it in spreadsheets and workarounds. Yours is built around it: your pricing, your approvals, the way you sell. We partner with domain experts who know your industry.
Then you're still on the old system.
Each team moves only when its acceptance tests pass, with records reconciled and a tested way back. If the numbers aren't there by week 4, we stop, and you keep what we found.
Legacy is software nobody dares to change.
Yours has tests on every change, docs and runbooks written as it's built, and your engineers work on it with us from week one.
Your team will already have run it.
Before we hand over, they run it without us: deploying, restoring and on call. The code is in your repository, and it runs in your cloud account.
Your time.
Domain experts we partner with draft the rules first, so your experts spend their early hours checking a draft. After two years you own it, so you decide who runs it.
We build it with the people who'll use it.
They see the real thing early, and each team moves only when it works for them, with a way back.
Half? How?
You pay for all of it. You use part of it. We build the part you use, plus the jobs you do in spreadsheets. In two weeks we price it from your own usage, or tell you the half isn't there.
If building got cheaper, why pay you half?
Because we carry the risk. We build it, move you over and run it for two years, and you pay nothing until you've switched. Proposed terms.
Our business is complicated.
Good. That's your edge. Rented software made you hide it in spreadsheets and workarounds. Yours is built around it: your pricing, your approvals, the way you sell. We partner with domain experts who know your industry.
What if it doesn't work, or you're late?
Then you're still on the old system. Each team moves only when its acceptance tests pass, with records reconciled and a tested way back. If the numbers aren't there by week 4, we stop, and you keep what we found.
Won't this be our next legacy system?
Software turns into legacy when changing it gets too risky to try. Yours has tests on every change, docs and runbooks written as it's built, and your engineers work on it with us from week one.
What if Armakuni goes away?
Your team will already have run it. Before we hand over, they run it without us: deploying, restoring and on call. The code is in your repository, and it runs in your cloud account.
What's the catch?
Your time. Domain experts we partner with draft the rules first, so your experts spend their early hours checking a draft. After two years you own it, so you decide who runs it.
Will my team actually use it?
We build it with the people who'll use it. They see the real thing early, and each team moves only when it works for them, with a way back.
Which systems can you replace?
The ones you've bent your business around. Often sales, service, operations and the no-code tools around them, and industry systems too. We keep the ones worth renting, like e-signatures, login and phone carriers.
Is it secure?
It runs in your cloud, under your controls. Your security team sets the rules. Every change is tested before it ships, and you keep the history of what changed and why.
What happens to our data?
It moves one team at a time. Records are reconciled before each team moves, and the old system stays on as the fallback until you switch it off.
Who looks after it once it's live?
We run it for two years, in the price. Proposed terms. Then your team runs it, or keeps us on. It's plain code in your cloud, so good engineers can work on it.
How long until it's live?
First team live in about 90 days. That's our plan, not a promise. The rest move team by team, planned around your renewal date.
What will the AI agents actually do?
The routine work, under your rules. They work across the systems you connect, ask your people before anything that matters, and are tested on your real cases before they're used.
Can it connect to our other systems?
Built around what you already run. We connect it to the systems it has to talk to, from your ERP to your phone lines, and test every connection before a team moves.
When can you start?
As soon as you send your bill. In two weeks, you'll know if the half is there.
Send us your software bill.
In two weeks, we'll show you the half. Or tell you it isn't there.
- Send last year's invoice, or tell us what you pay. We'll sign an NDA first if you like.
- We map how your teams use it, with your admins and the tool's own usage reports.
- You get the map: what's used, what we'd build, what we'd keep, the price and the plan. It's yours either way.
