Your software, built and running in weeks.
Recursive AI is Kurtis Welch and the fleet of AI agents he directs. You work with one senior engineer who owns the result, and you get the output of a full team.
What we take on
A new product.
From the idea to real users, built complete instead of as a prototype you’ll rewrite.
A replacement for an old system.
The platform, vendor tool or spreadsheet your business has outgrown, rebuilt and switched over with your data intact.
An app built with AI tools that has hit a wall.
We put a solid foundation under it and hand it back, so you can keep building.
A technical lead.
A fractional CTO for a company that needs one, with a build team behind him.
If it’s software, ask.
Recent client work
In the last month, for one client, a credit-reporting company that serves trade associations. Client names stay private.
An emergency replacement.
A serious security flaw in the platform behind their member site was made public one morning. By that evening the vulnerable system was switched off and members were using a replacement we built that afternoon.
The rest of what they used, including 82 credit-application forms, was rebuilt overnight.
Their meetings system, rebuilt from scratch.
Sign-ups, meeting books and the staff tools, switched over with every old record carried across.
A partner offer for their members.
A new dashboard tile with a savings estimator, asked for in the morning and live that evening.
Their largest customer accounts, checked.
Agents check each account against public company records, fifty a day, and a person approves anything they flag.
Work you can inspect
Client code is private, so we also build in the open. The same agents, under the same direction, have written 29 open-source libraries. They include a database engine that reads and writes SQLite files, a game engine, a physics engine, and libraries for PDFs, Office documents and images. The code, the tests and an account of how each one was built are public.

About KurtisHow it works
-
A conversation.
You talk to Kurtis.
-
A scope and a price.
Written down before work starts.

The build.
Agents write, test and ship the software. Kurtis decides what gets built and checks what goes out.
-
Progress you can see.
Work ships as it’s finished, not all at the end.
