Build what comes next.

Mellow AI designs and ships production systems for companies with ambitious, difficult problems.

Strategy / Systems / Software

Useful AI, built all the way through.

Four systems we build and maintain in the open. Nothing here is a mockup — read the source, run the benchmark, install the package yourself.

Open source / TypeScript01

openextract-ts

The TypeScript line of openextract. One call takes a file to a validated Zod object — and a swarm runs several models over the same document, then reconciles their answers by merge, vote, or first success. An MCP server, a CLI, a terminal UI, and a local web cookbook ship with it.

Runtime
Node 20+, TypeScript
Swarm reduce
merge, vote, or first
Also ships
MCP server, CLI, TUI, web UI

Open source / Python02

openextract

Documents, images, audio, and video into a validated Pydantic model in one function call. Bring your own model — eleven providers work out of the box, and the same schema holds across all of them.

Runtime
Python 3.12+
Providers
11, via pydantic-ai
Test coverage
100%, enforced in CI

Applied system / TypeScript03

Open Lease Audit

A portfolio integrity console for commercial leases. Define the fields that matter, stream an abstraction of every document, then reconcile the whole portfolio for conflicting terms and contradictions.

Per field
Source clause + confidence
Findings
Ranked by severity
Intake
PDF, text, Markdown

Open source / Rust04

pdfmd

PDF to Markdown with nothing underneath it. The object-graph reader, the DEFLATE decoder, the font decoding, and the column and table heuristics all live in the crate.

Your systems. Your edge.

We build inside your reality—not a demo environment. Every decision is made to create durable capability, not dependency.

Start a conversation
  1. 01

    Find the leverage

    We map the system, pressure-test the opportunity, and define the smallest valuable release.

  2. 02

    Build the real thing

    Senior engineers work directly with your team and ship into your environment.

  3. 03

    Leave you stronger

    The code, models, infrastructure, and operating knowledge are yours from day one.

Small, senior teams for consequential software.

Let's build what should exist.

Tell us where the work is slow, brittle, or impossible today. We'll respond with a clear point of view.
