AI agents and AI systems. $0 to build. Pay monthly, only after it works.

For businesses with 5 to 50 staff, and solo experts like a coach, a lawyer or a clinic. The build is free because other businesses in your industry pay for the same product. So I own the software, and I may offer it to them. That includes your competitors.

$0 to build. Nothing due until the test passes. Cancel any month, no fee.

I am Matthew Bilo. I build Storm, an AI agent platform used inside 10,000+ companies at Sitemate. Before that I built EiQ One, AI over 85 million supply chain records at LRQA.

Most AI projects fail after the demo.

The agent gets a case wrong. The model changes. The bill grows. And the upkeep lands on you. Here, one person owns keeping it running: me. I am paid monthly for it.

What the deal gives you.

$0 to build

No deposit. No build invoice. You pay nothing while I build it.

One monthly price, written before any work starts

The monthly price, and how long it stays fixed, go on paper first.

Leave any month

Cancel at the end of any month, no fee. Your data comes out within 7 days, as CSV or JSON.

A five-person engineering team costs about 120 times more.

That is the shape of the monthly price. The exact number is set for your industry, and it is fixed in writing before I start. Model and tool costs sit inside it.

I turn work down on purpose.

Four things have to be true before I take a build. Miss one and I say no in writing. It saves us both a bad project.

What I take

  • An industry with at least a few hundred similar businesses.
  • A problem those businesses share, not a quirk of one firm.
  • A task your team does by hand today, with a clear right answer I can test.
  • You accept that I own the software, and may resell it.

What I turn away

  • A chatbot that only answers questions. I build agents that do the work.
  • Venture builds where the code is your edge.
  • Firms that need to own the code.
  • One-off features the rest of your industry would not fund.

The full list is on the deal terms

Not a fit? I'll say so quickly, in writing.

The first client in each industry pays less. For good.

The first client in an industry pays below the standard price. That gap never expires. When their fixed term ends, they renew below the standard price. It is in the terms, not a one-off offer.

How a build runs.

Five steps. You pay nothing until step four.

  1. We talk.

    I check the four things above. Wrong fit, I say no.

  2. We write it down.

    A signed spec, a written acceptance test on real agent output, and the monthly price.

  3. I build it.

    You pay nothing. No deposit, no build invoice.

  4. The test passes.

    The subscription starts that day, and not before.

  5. I keep it running.

    Cancel at the end of any month. Your data leaves with you.

Case studies and blog.

One case study per product, as they ship. Plus posts about how this works and why.

No case study yet. Here's what you can check instead.

The first one lands after a product passes its acceptance test. Until then the proof is on paper: the 18 deal terms, and a signed pass-or-fail test before any build starts.

Tell me what the agent should do.

I'll tell you if I'll build it, and what it costs a month.
