Tools of the trade Practitioner software
No rocket science.
They just make the day easier.
Not everything worth building is a model. These are plain software tools, shaped around the small frictions that quietly cost practitioners hours — the add-in nobody can update, the quota nobody notices until it runs out. We built them for ourselves. We think you’ll want them too.
The tools
Three of them, so far.
XDeck
Your X feeds, side by side.
Lists, accounts and searches stay visible side by side. Read posts, view media and follow several conversations at the same time without losing your place.
XL Bridge
Your Excel add-in. New functions. Just refresh.
One lightweight add-in that asks the server what it can do. Functions and ribbon controls are published through your API, so shipping a new function is a deployment on your side and a refresh on theirs — no reinstall, no desk-by-desk rollout, no version drift. Client-server by design: the heavy computation stays off the workbook.
Archipelago
Every agent, every host, one view.
Every coding agent, every machine and every provider subscription consolidated into a single resident panel. Which sessions are running, which are waiting on you, and how much of each plan is left — with continuity across your own subscriptions when one of them says no. No account, no telemetry.
Why they exist
We built them for us.
Every one of these came out of an internal annoyance that had gone on long enough. That origin is the reason they are narrow, and the reason they fit.
- Built for our own desks first
- Each one started as something we needed and could not buy. They were in daily use internally long before they were products.
- Small on purpose
- They do one job. Nothing here wants to be a platform, own your workflow, or become the thing you have to administer.
- They fit the workflow that exists
- Shaped around how the work is actually done, rather than asking the desk to reorganise itself around the tool.
- Boring where it counts
- No rocket science in the engine room. Predictable behaviour, visible state, and nothing clever happening out of sight.
Available now
Take them for a run.
All three are live. Tell us what your desk is fighting with — half of what we build starts as somebody else’s complaint.
