Services
What does Foundry 41 do?
Three services and one industry we know well: product design and development, AI agents and automation, company brains, and healthcare software.
AI ENGINEERING
AI agents & automation
AI agents, LLM features and AI transformation consulting for engineering teams—with evaluation, human review and release gates.
AI engineeringCOMPANY BRAINS
Company brains
An AI teammate in Slack that runs in your own cloud account, with its own memory, skills and integrations, and people approving what matters.
Company brainsINDUSTRY
Healthcare
EHR integrations, patient-facing apps and human-approved AI workflows for health-tech companies, practices, clinics and MSOs.
HealthcareHow we work
How does a project with Foundry 41 work?
Four steps: a fit call, an agreed scope, a reviewable result, and then either a handover or separately scoped follow-on work.
Step 1
Fit call
A short call about the problem, the people involved, and whether we are the right team. No pitch deck.
Step 2
Scoped proposal or Workflow Blueprint
A written scope for a product build or engineering-team AI pilot, or a paid, fixed-scope Workflow Blueprint for a cross-system AI workflow. Scope and fee are agreed before paid work starts.
Step 3
Deliver and review
For consulting, review the pilot validation plan with your team. For a build, see working software in weekly demos in your repository and cloud account.
Step 4
Hand over or keep going
Your team takes over the agreed deliverables. Implementation, coaching or ongoing operations can be scoped separately, with access you can revoke.

How does a project start?
With a short fit call. If there is a fit, you get a scoped proposal for a build or engineering-team AI pilot, or a paid, fixed-scope Workflow Blueprint for a cross-system AI workflow. Builds run with weekly demos.
How much does it cost?
We do not publish prices. Scope and fee are agreed in writing before any paid work starts.
Where do the code and data live?
In your accounts. Code goes into your repository, and systems run in your cloud account under your keys. You pay cloud, model and API providers directly.
Do you work in healthcare?
Yes. We build EHR integrations, patient-facing apps and human-approved AI workflows, sign a BAA before any PHI access, and keep PHI in the client's environment. The healthcare page has the details.
Are Sky and Olivia client projects?
No. Sky is Foundry 41's own company brain and Olivia is the instance we run for GrowLab. They are internal reference deployments, not client work.
