Two builders · AI automations · Our own products
Bytefo is two AI enthusiasts who wire automation into the work nobody wants to do — and ship our own products on the side. Small team, hands on the keyboard, no hand-offs.
FIG. 00 · The route
The pattern we build most often: something arrives, it gets read, classified and enriched, then sent somewhere useful. The model reads; the rules decide.
Why that order matters →
FIG. 01 The bench
That is the question we ask before we build anything. Tick the work that repeats for your team and the route below comes alive — read, decide, enrich, deliver. The whole audit runs on this page; nothing is sent, and none of it needs JavaScript.
Tick what repeatsYour week
The route every job takes
Tickedof 6The tally updates as you tick. Counting the boxes by hand gives the same answer.
Nothing on the belt yet. Tick whatever your team did this week that it has done before — the spreadsheet, the copy-paste, the report somebody rebuilds every Monday.
Count how often each one repeats, then pick the top one. Build that one small, in days, with the people who do the work watching.From the post: Why we automate the boring parts first →
The ticks stay on this page — no account, no request, nothing stored. Copy the list, or let the email open with it filled in.
Audit first, build second. Same two people throughout.
FIG. 02 Tools on the wall
Three things, done properly. No fifty-item service menu — we would rather be genuinely good at a short list.
We find the task your team repeats every week, then wire AI and your existing tools around it until it runs itself.
Small, sharp apps and internal assistants built around how you already work — not another platform you have to migrate to.
We are building products of our own. Everything we learn shipping them goes straight back into client work.
FIG. 03 On the bench now
Client work pays the bills; products are the long game. Here is what is on the bench right now.
An AI toolkit aimed at the operational busywork small teams drown in. Same automations we build for clients, packaged so you can run them yourself.
Follow alongWe take on a small number of builds at a time so each one gets real attention. That means there is usually room for one more.
Talk to usFIG. 04 The route
Boring on purpose: short loops, working software early, nothing hidden behind a status report.
One call or a long email. We want the process that makes your team groan — the spreadsheet, the copy-paste, the "who is doing this today?".
You get a short written plan: what we automate, what we deliberately leave alone, what it costs and what it saves. No jargon wall.
Days, not months. You use it while it is still rough, we fix what actually hurts, and we throw away the parts that did not earn their place.
You own the thing: documentation, access, and a walkthrough with your team. We stay around for the first weeks of real use.
FIG. 05 The specimen
A company of two AI enthusiasts. Between us we handle the whole thing — the automation, the interface, the integrations and the unglamorous glue.
Bytefo is byte plus baifo — the Canarian word for a young goat. Small, curious, sure-footed on ground that looks impossible to everyone else. We could not think of a better description of what we do with AI, so we kept it.
You work with the two people who build your automation. No account manager, no telephone game, no discovery phase that produces a slide deck.
The best automation is one nobody notices. We optimise for things that keep working after the novelty wears off — and we document them so they survive without us.
Working software in days tells you more than a plan in weeks. We get something real in front of you early, then improve it with evidence.
FIG. 06 Written down
Three posts, written while we are still in the middle of the thing. No newsletter, no popup — the RSS feed is at the bottom of every page.
FIG. 07 Say hello
Tell us what it is. We will tell you honestly whether AI can fix it — and if it cannot, we will say so instead of selling you something.
