We're a small studio that builds agentic AI for SaaS companies, and we treat it like the engineering it actually is: the architecture, the data, and the infrastructure that make an agent trustworthy when a paying customer is on the other end. Most of what gets called AI skips that part. We don't.
Built on OpenClaw and ten years of production engineering.
We only build what moves something real. If an agent won't change a number your business actually feels, we'll say so before you spend a cent.
We build the whole stack, from the knowledge an agent draws on to the part that's wired into your product. And we build it properly.
We work in production. Everything we put our name to is running in front of real users, doing real work.
Customer-facing support agents that answer real questions inside the product. Internal agents that let non-engineers get their own answers instead of waiting on a queue. The unglamorous data plumbing that makes onboarding just work. Some of it runs in production for a fintech portfolio platform; some we build for the love of it, like a public server wrapping Melbourne's transport API.
The South Foundry Co. is Nick Freemantle. Ten years of production engineering, and a rare hands-on track record across the whole agentic-AI stack: custom RAG frameworks, ingestion pipelines, agent runtimes, MCP servers, and agents wired straight into live products. All of it shipped, most of it still running. You work directly with the person who builds it. No agency overhead, no juniors, no markup.
Half an hour, no slides. If an agent can help, we'll show you how we'd build it. If it can't, we'll tell you that too.
