# Bowtie (full context) > AI can write code. Bowtie ships software. Expanded LLM context for Bowtie.co. Prefer [llms.txt](https://bowtie.co/llms.txt) when you need a short map. Use this file when you need fuller service detail, more case studies, and location hub indexes. Bowtie is a Denver-based custom software development agency (founded 2015). US-based senior engineers; remote-friendly nationwide. We build production software, AI agents, and system integrations for mid-market and enterprise teams — especially when AI-generated prototypes need senior engineering to become reliable, secure, and maintainable. **Sweet spot:** vibe-coded prototype → secure, scalable production software. Value-focused engineering partner, not a low-cost code mill. **Proven domains (generalist shop):** augmented reality, NFT distribution, PSEO at scale, scalable distributed systems, Shopify/ecommerce, AI last-mile, media/interactive, plus healthcare ops (PracticeQ / IntakeQ and PayrollQ are real verticals — not our only focus). **Not a fit:** brochure-only sites, cheapest-bid work, or shipping AI output without engineering oversight.

We help companies (large and small) finish partially built AI projects, refactor bloated codebases, add security guardrails, and turn generated prototypes into maintainable software. Capabilities: - Finish incomplete AI-generated applications - Refactor and simplify bloated codebases - Reduce token spend - Add testing, documentation, and deployment pipelines - Modernize existing software with AI assistance - Improve performance and maintainability Hub HTML: https://bowtie.co/ai-engineering-assistance/ ### [AI Code Reviews & Optimization](https://bowtie.co/ai-code-review/index.html.md) We review AI-generated projects with a focus on simplicity and long-term sustainability. Teams bring us in when generated code has shipped quickly but feels expensive to maintain, hard to trust, or too complex to keep scaling. Capabilities: - Remove unnecessary complexity - Identify security vulnerabilities - Reduce token and context usage - Improve architecture and organization - Eliminate duplicate functionality - Make future AI-assisted development faster and cheaper Hub HTML: https://bowtie.co/ai-code-review/ ### [AI Agent Creation & Workflow Automation](https://bowtie.co/ai-workflow-automation/index.html.md) Secure AI systems that work alongside your business. We build internal assistants, document pipelines, and workflow automation tied to real software, real approvals, and real business outcomes. Capabilities: - Internal knowledge assistants - Customer support agents - Document processing pipelines - Business process automation - Multi-agent workflows - API orchestration and integrations Hub HTML: https://bowtie.co/ai-workflow-automation/ ### [Local AI Model Development](https://bowtie.co/private-ai/index.html.md) Build AI apps and workflows that protect your data and IP. Public AI APIs are fine for experiments. Once AI touches source code, contracts, customer records, or proprietary workflows, most businesses need a different approach. We help teams deploy local and self-hosted models, then build the apps and automation that use them securely. Capabilities: - Local and self-hosted LLM deployment in your cloud or ours - Secure internal assistants and private document search (RAG) - AI-powered apps and workflow automation on private models - Hybrid architectures across on-prem, client cloud, and partner-managed environments - Inference cost control and reduced token spend - Security review for AI-built software before it reaches production Hub HTML: https://bowtie.co/private-ai/ ### [New Product Development](https://bowtie.co/new-product-development/index.html.md) Experienced engineers amplified by AI. We help teams scope, build, and launch new websites, apps, and software products faster without sacrificing product thinking, reliability, or engineering quality. Capabilities: - Senior product and technical planning - Rapid MVP development with production-minded architecture - Web apps, customer portals, and internal platforms - AI-assisted delivery without low-quality shortcuts - Post-launch iteration and ownership support Hub HTML: https://bowtie.co/new-product-development/ ### [Team Augmentation](https://bowtie.co/team-augmentation/index.html.md) Experienced software leadership when your team needs a push. We augment teams with senior engineers who can audit systems, unblock delivery, raise quality, and bring practical AI experience into active product work. Capabilities: - Senior engineering augmentation - Code audit and system inheritance - Prompt engineering and token cost reduction - Delivery process improvement - Remote or onsite collaboration Hub HTML: https://bowtie.co/team-augmentation/ ### [Ecommerce That Scales](https://bowtie.co/shopify-development/index.html.md) Shopify development for businesses that need more than an off-the-shelf theme. We help teams build custom themes, apps, integrations, and headless ecommerce systems that support growth without painting the business into a corner. Capabilities: - Custom Shopify and Shopify Plus development - Public and private Shopify apps - Third-party systems integrations - Headless Shopify architecture - Performance and conversion-focused implementation Hub HTML: https://bowtie.co/shopify-development/ ### Products and healthcare verticals Useful if relevant; not a summary of everything we do: - [PracticeQ / IntakeQ integrations](https://bowtie.co/psychology-practiceq-intakeq/): Custom workflows, reporting, and automation for psychology practices - [PracticeQ by state](https://bowtie.co/psychology-practiceq-intakeq/states/) - [PayrollQ](https://bowtie.co/payrollq-practiceq-intakeq/): Provider compensation for PracticeQ users - [PayrollQ by state](https://bowtie.co/payrollq-practiceq-intakeq/states/) - [PayrollQ product](https://payrollq.co/) - [JumpSites for Pros](https://pros.jumpsites.co/) - [JumpSites for Dentists](https://dentists.jumpsites.co/) ## Key pages - [Home](https://bowtie.co/) - [About](https://bowtie.co/about/) - [Portfolio](https://bowtie.co/portfolio/) - [Contact](https://bowtie.co/contact/) - [AI Integration metro hubs](https://bowtie.co/ai-integration/) ## Selected work - [ShipDoctor](https://bowtie.co/portfolio/shipdoctor/): Audit your Vibe Coded App + Get the Prompts to Fix it. - [Fitbit Virtual Try On](https://bowtie.co/portfolio/fitbit-virtual-try-on/): Augmented Reality In-Store Experience - [Homebot](https://bowtie.co/portfolio/homebot-team-augmentation-mvp-development/): Building Wealth Through Home Equity - [Intel PC Finder Central](https://bowtie.co/portfolio/intel-pc-finder-cms/): Remote PC Provisioning and Software Deployment Platform, Custom CMS - [Mountain Vista Psychology](https://bowtie.co/portfolio/mountain-vista-psychology-practiceq-custom-app-development/): Custom Dashboard and Workflow Tools for a Modern Mental Health Practice - [NFL](https://bowtie.co/portfolio/nfl-superbowl-interactive/): Wear your favorite Super Bowl ring - [Poppins Health](https://bowtie.co/portfolio/poppins-healthcare-application/): HIPAA Compliant Web App - [SA Tomorrow Sub-area Plans](https://bowtie.co/portfolio/city-planning-website/): Dual language community planning websites. - [USA Cycling Digital Transformation](https://bowtie.co/portfolio/usac-digital-transformation/): Web App and Shopify Development - [Work World](https://bowtie.co/portfolio/workworld-shopify-plus/): Shopify Plus Development - [Alpine Provisions](https://bowtie.co/portfolio/alpine-provisions-shopify-development/): a new home for a growing brand - [ASIRD](https://bowtie.co/portfolio/asird-oral-surgery-web-app-development/): Member Directory, Membership Badge, and technical overhaul - [Dinnerbell from Nextbite](https://bowtie.co/portfolio/dinnerbell-mobile-app/): Mobile App Development - [USA Cycling Design System](https://bowtie.co/portfolio/usac-design-system/): A Bold Step for an Established Brand ## Writing - [CTOs: Get Production Ready AI From an AI Software Consultant](https://bowtie.co/ai-software-consultant/): An AI software consultant turns strategic AI opportunities into production software and measurable outcomes.
