For everything you'd build
if building were easy.

The engineer you couldn't justify hiring.

Most brands don't need an engineering team. They need twenty builds a year - internal tools, automations, integrations - one at a time.

Who you'll work with

Hey, I'm Shaz 👋

“Building the tools your team will love.”

I started Inform because AI changed what one engineer can ship. The custom software that used to take an agency retainer - dashboards, automations, AI agents - now fits inside a flat monthly fee.

Inform is run entirely by me - founder-led, AI-accelerated, nothing outsourced. When you message Inform, you're messaging the person who builds your software.

One subscription,
endless possibilities

Frequently asked questions

How fast will I get my first build? +

Most requests ship inside a week. Larger builds are broken into weekly shippable slices, so something real lands in your stack every week from day one.

What can I request? +

Anything operational: dashboards, automations, AI agents and chatbots, browser extensions, integrations between your tools - Shopify, Klaviyo, your 3PL - and full internal apps. If software can fix it, it's in scope.

Who does the work? +

Inform is founder-led by design. Every build is done by me, accelerated by AI tooling - no junior developers, no outsourcing, no handoffs. You work with the person writing the code.

How do I make requests? +

In plain words, asynchronously - a Slack message, a short Loom, or a doc. No specs or tickets required. If you can describe the problem, that's enough to start.

What does “one request at a time” mean? +

Your queue can be any length, and I work it top to bottom with one build in focus at a time. Focus is why things ship weekly instead of quarterly.

How does pausing work? +

Billing cycles are monthly. If you choose to pause, we'll finish up the remaining in-progress items for you. Then, feel free to restart whenever the queue fills up again.

Who owns the code? +

You do - entirely, from day one. Everything is built in your accounts and repositories. If we ever part ways, all of it keeps running without me.

What if I don't like what ships? +

I revise until it's right - revisions are unlimited. And if the first week isn't clearly working, walk away and pay nothing.
