Flexi IT is a boutique software development company 🚀
We provide a full cycle of web development services, from the initial concept to a live application.
6 AI projects shipped in the last 12 months. NDA analysis. Document processing. Workflow automation. Lead generation. All custom-built for real businesses.
The interesting part is that without AI, we estimated this would take around 4 months to build. With AI, 1 person built the MVP in 2 weeks.
We shared the whole process here: https://t.co/csVCUkksQg
Lately, we have been experimenting a lot with AI for internal tools, and honestly, the speed difference is pretty crazy.
Analytics Dashboard
Before that, all our marketing and sales data was spread across different tools and dashboards.
I've yapped about the magical Pi coding agent a lot, so here's a lazy extension I made that might explain this concept better.
Pi extensions are NOT skills. Extensions change the actual runtime behavior of the coding agent; skills are just instructions + scripts.
This extension stores API keys without requiring the you to open a file editor and without putting the key into context.
Simple af, nothing crazy. But the magical part of Pi is that GPT built this with 1 prompt mid-session; and it worked immediately in the same session.
No installing an update, no quitting/re-opening my terminal app, and no need to open cursor, etc.
The app built a feature instantly, based on what I needed.
I'm annoyed when AI content larps overhype tooling so to be clear, this is primarily useful for customizing your coding workflow. It's not gonna save the S+P 500.
Most software I have to use in a day is either distracting, annoying or and even semi harmful. This has always bothered me because I'd ideally like to be optimistic about AI + the future of consumer apps.
Pi lets me spend time online how I want to.

Feels like AI is changing not only products, but also how small teams can build things much faster than before.
What has your experience with AI been like so far?
Lately, we have been experimenting a lot with AI for internal tools, and honestly, the speed difference is pretty crazy.
Recently, we built 2 internal systems for our team:
Previously, all this information was scattered across spreadsheets and different sources.
Now we have one internal tool that organizes everything in one place and helps us spot opportunities much faster.
This one was built in 6 weeks by 1 person.
2. Market Research Tool
For outreach campaigns (ahahaha, don’t worry, we don’t annoy people with useless emails =)) we constantly research competitors, ICPs, industry news, market changes, etc. (4/6)

disclaimer:
open-source ≠ 1:1 replacement. you'll trade polish for ownership, hand-holding for control, and a credit card for a github version.
for builders, prototypers, and indie hackers — that's the whole point.
for everyone else, the paid tools still have their place.
bookmark this. share with one friend bleeding subscription fees.

We wrote the full guide: 3 implementation paths, plugin comparison (Tidio vs WPBot vs HubSpot) and the 6 metrics worth tracking.
Only 44% of companies measure chatbot performance. That's your edge.
https://t.co/QhDHYZ1Vlo
AI chatbots average a 78% resolution rate. Rule-based bots: 52%.
That 26-point gap is the difference between a bot that handles your support queue and one that just frustrates people.
WordPress 7.0 (April 2026) shipped something that changes the chatbot math.
Native AI client. Provider-agnostic. OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic - one config panel, no vendor lock-in.
If you're on WordPress, that excuse is gone.
Three things that separate bots that work from bots that don't:
1. Knowledge base training (top 50 queries + product docs)
2. Lead scoring logic - not just "how can I help?"
3. CRM sync with full conversation context
