Kerr & Company is an AI venture studio. We ship our own software — a notarized macOS app with paying subscribers, a live B2B SaaS, and an automation engine that builds products on its own — and take on a handful of select client builds a year. You get a team that ships its own products under patent, not an agency learning on your dime.
Websites, search, ads, and custom AI — for Grand Rapids and West Michigan businesses, and remote clients who want an operator who ships. Fixed prices, no hourly billing, and a monthly plan only if it's actually earning its keep.
Fast, conversion-focused sites built in days, not months — with the option to add a custom AI tool a template shop can't touch.

$250/hr · assessments from $3,500 AI consulting →Most agencies hand you a 40-question content planner and wait. You're busy running a business — so we do the work instead. No homework, no logins to learn, no chasing.
One recorded 20-minute call — from your truck, your office, wherever. We pull the rest from your existing site, Google profile, and reviews, then write your whole site for you. You just tell us what's wrong.
Click anywhere on the draft and type — no accounts, no passwords, no "the blue thing under the header" emails. Works on your phone.
Domain, hosting, logins, and accounts are all registered in your name from day one. If you ever leave, you keep all of it and we'll help you move. No hostage-taking.
You get a dated schedule up front — design by the 4th, revisions by the 8th, live on the 15th — plus a status link you can check anytime without logging in.
A short text every week, even when there's nothing to report. Usually it just says "on track, nothing needed from you."
50% to start, the rest at launch — or split it into monthly payments. Pay by bank transfer or card, whichever you prefer.
Total time required from you: about 45 minutes — one call, one round of feedback, one final approval.
No account managers, no junior handoff, no six-week timelines for a five-page site. You work directly with the founder — who ships production software for a living and can prove it.
Agencies quote 6–12 weeks for a business site. We build with AI and ship in days — we took a product and its full marketing site from idea to live in two days.
Every price is published on this site. Fixed quotes before any work starts — no hourly meter, no "contact us for a quote," no surprise invoices.

Most shops resell templates. We build custom AI tools — missed-call-to-text, review engines, instant quotes, live dashboards — that make your site actually work.
Ad management is a flat monthly fee, so we don't get paid more for telling you to spend more. You pay the platforms directly and own every account.
Your site, your accounts, your data, your profiles — all yours, no hostage hosting. Plus we rework the first deliverable until you sign off.

A notarized macOS app that runs open-weight models up to 397B parameters fully offline on Apple Silicon — a private, local alternative to ChatGPT and Claude.

An offline AI video upscaler & restorer — the on-device alternative to Topaz Video AI. Turns low-quality footage into clean 4K, 100% on device, with a one-drop AUTO workflow that reads each clip and picks the right model and settings automatically. Positioned, built, and shipped as a signed macOS app.
Visit crispvideo.app →Our build engine: a Supervisor-Agent-Memory system that orchestrates 50+ AI agents over MCP to build and run software-business tasks — local-first, with sandboxed execution. It's how we ship faster than a team our size should. Its first product, ProposalAI, was built almost entirely by the framework itself.
A live B2B SaaS that helps contractors send polished, branded proposals in minutes and win more bids — with a clear ICP, value-based pricing, and a visit → trial → paid funnel. The product, marketing site, and Stripe billing were built almost entirely by Jarvis Factory under our direction — proof the studio ships monetized software, not demos.
Visit myproposalai.com →ProposalAI helps contractors send polished, branded proposals in minutes and win more bids. The product, the marketing site, and Stripe billing were built almost entirely by Jarvis Factory — our multi-agent build engine — under our direction. We didn't just design a proposal tool; we shipped a monetized product with a real ICP and a visit → trial → paid funnel.
That's what a client build looks like with us: an idea turned into shipped, revenue-ready software — not a prototype, not a deck. You can go verify it's real right now, then tell us what you want built. Get in touch →
A few select engagements a year. Clear scope, clear price, real shipped software — not open-ended retainers or slideware. Start small with an audit, or go straight to a build.
We assess your idea, codebase, or workflow and hand back a clear plan you own — whether or not we build it.
Idea to a working, shippable AI product — consumer app, SaaS, or internal tool — including distribution and payments.
A production automation or multi-agent workflow that removes real busywork — powered by the same Jarvis Factory engine we run ourselves.
Model selection, on-device vs. cloud, cost/performance, and bigger custom builds — grounded in shipping real products, not slide decks.
Prices are starting points and depend on scope — you'll always get a fixed quote before any work begins.
Our guarantee: we rework the first deliverable until you sign off. You see real, shipped work before you're locked in — the kind of risk-reversal only a studio that ships its own products can afford to make.
Kerr & Company is small on purpose. Instead of a big team, we direct AI end-to-end — from architecture to code to launch — which lets us take an idea to a shipped, monetized product faster than teams many times our size.
The proof is the portfolio above: a notarized macOS app with paying subscribers and 3 provisional U.S. patents, a live B2B SaaS, and an automation framework that builds products on its own. We ship for ourselves first, so when we build for you, you get the same instincts and the same speed.
Real products in users' hands quickly, then improve with data — never a six-month deck.
We orchestrate AI across the whole stack, so a small studio moves like a big team.
Product, distribution, monetization, and growth — not just code. We think like operators.
On-device and sandboxed where it matters — privacy and control as a default, not an afterthought.
We take on only a handful of builds a year, so we're honest about fit up front — it saves everyone time.
Kerr & Company is small on purpose. I direct AI end-to-end to ship real, monetized products — a notarized macOS app with paying subscribers and 3 provisional U.S. patents, a live B2B SaaS, and an automation engine that builds software on its own.
You don't get handed off to a junior team. When you work with the studio, you get the same instincts and the same speed I use to ship my own products — and I reply to every inquiry personally.
Meet the founder ↗Common questions about working with Kerr & Company — what an AI venture studio is, what we've shipped, and how AI builds and consulting engagements work.
An AI venture studio builds and ships its own AI products rather than only advising. Kerr & Company runs three — Outlier (a notarized macOS app with paying subscribers), ProposalAI (a live B2B SaaS), and Jarvis Factory (a multi-agent build engine) — backed by 3 provisional U.S. patents, and takes on a few select client builds each year.
Yes. Kerr & Company is based in Grand Rapids, Michigan and takes on select AI-build and automation engagements for founders, operators, and West Michigan businesses — from AI product development to custom agents and workflow automation.
Outlier, a private offline AI app for macOS with paying subscribers and 3 provisional patents; ProposalAI, a live B2B SaaS for contractors; and Jarvis Factory, an automation engine that orchestrates 50+ AI agents to build software.
Engagements start with a fixed-scope AI Build Audit (from $3,500), a 0→1 Product Sprint (from $25,000), or an Agent & Automation Build (from $15,000). You always get a fixed quote before any work begins — see packages.
Kerr & Company ships its own patented AI products with real, paying users — so you hire operators who build and launch software, not an agency learning on your budget. Every first deliverable is reworked until you sign off.
