Software development

Practical software,
built around real work.

Sometimes you need a tool that works the way you do. We develop software around specific jobs—from helping someone choose a product to giving working cooks a place to develop and organize ideas.

Software starts with a job worth making easier.

We began building tools because we needed them in our own work. The Matildas grew from that same approach: understand what someone is trying to do, give them a clear way through it, and keep the useful parts close at hand.

Some jobs benefit from AI. Others need a straightforward set of choices. We use what fits the work.

Examples of our work

One family. Four different jobs.

The Matildas help people choose, explore, plan, and develop ideas. Each has a different purpose, so each needs a different kind of software.

A guided choice

Little Miss Matilda

Helps you choose a cracker based on what you’re serving. The pick comes from established pairing information; AI writes the short explanation of why it fits.

What we built around that need

A product chooser that combines a defined recommendation process with a useful explanation.

A conversation

Miss Matilda

A food guide for questions about pairings, ingredients, cooking, and recipes. Her voice is part of the experience, and her answers can go beyond the products we sell.

Ask Miss Matilda ↗
What we built around that need

A conversational tool with a distinct personality, a clear purpose, and boundaries around its answers.

A usable plan

Matilda Entertains

Helps you think through a party or gathering: the menu, sensible quantities, a make-ahead timeline, and a shopping list. You bring the occasion and make the final choices.

What we built around that need

A conversation shaped into a practical plan, with source labels that distinguish different kinds of suggestions.

A professional workspace

Matilda Sous

Helps working cooks and chefs think through an assignment and develop ideas. Projects, credited references, a personal Library, and testing notes give that work somewhere to live.

What we built around that need

A standalone application with private account saving, reusable ideas, and professional exports.

Your project

Start with what you need to do.

Understand the job

What are you trying to make easier? Who will use the tool, and what do they need from it?

Keep the scope useful

We talk through what needs building, what existing tools can handle, and where AI would help.

Agree on the work

The scope, price, and support arrangements belong in the project conversation, before development begins.

Let’s talk

What are you trying to make easier?

Tell us about the job, the people doing it, and where things get awkward. You don’t need a technical specification to start the conversation.

The Matildas are examples of our own work. A tool for your business would begin with your needs.
