Built here, for businesses here
Palo Alto talks about AI more than anywhere on earth — but the café on California Ave, the clinic on Middlefield, and the contractor in Mountain View still run on paper, spreadsheets, and a register that never talks to the website. That gap is exactly what we build for: practical AI software for the businesses around the companies inventing it, at fixed published prices rather than agency day-rates.
What that looks like in practice: the AI tools, platforms, and storefronts on our work page — real, shipped projects — at the fixed prices published on our pricing page. You get a written scope, one number, and a delivery date before anything is built.
Palo Alto questions, answered
What does custom AI software cost in Palo Alto?
Custom AI software from LMKdev starts at $1,950 for a one-week AI Opportunity Sprint — an audit of your operations, your 3 highest-ROI AI opportunities, and a working prototype of one. Full builds start at $7,500 for a Square commerce storefront, $8,500 for an AI business tool, and $15,000 for a custom platform — fixed prices, published on our pricing page, with ongoing care from $450/month.
How long does a custom software project take?
Most LMKdev projects ship in two to eight weeks: a Square storefront in 2–3 weeks, an AI business tool in about 3 weeks, and a full custom platform in 4–8 weeks — with the delivery date fixed in writing alongside the price.
What kind of projects has LMKdev shipped?
Our shipped work includes an AI document studio for a fire-protection engineering firm (report drafting cut from hours to minutes, with a per-state compliance engine), a B2B platform for a green-coffee wholesaler (per-customer daily pricing with database-enforced price walls and net-terms invoicing), and a Square-integrated café storefront with a 173-item AI-rewritten menu. Case studies are on our work page.
