AI copilots & assistants
In-app assistants that answer questions, draft content and take actions on behalf of your users — with function calling wired straight into your models.
AI-native Laravel studio
Laravel apps with
AI in their bones.
Zekini CC builds production-grade web applications on Laravel — then wires in the funky stuff: copilots, chatbots that actually know your data, autonomous agents, semantic search and workflow automation. Software that thinks along with your team.

Fluent in Claude and the wider LLM stack — RAG, embeddings, agents, tool calling and eval loops — on a foundation that won't fall over in production.
The funky stuff
AI features your users will actually use
Not a chatbot bolted onto a corner of the screen. Real intelligence woven through the product — grounded in your data, running inside your Laravel app.
RAG chatbots
Chatbots that actually know your business. We ground responses in your docs, database and knowledge base so answers are accurate, not hallucinated.
Semantic search
Search by meaning, not keywords. Vector embeddings with pgvector let users find the right thing even when they don't know the exact words.
Autonomous agents
Multi-step AI workflows that plan, use tools and get things done — triaging tickets, enriching leads or running back-office tasks on a schedule.
Document intelligence
Pull structured data out of invoices, contracts and PDFs. Classify, summarise and extract — turning messy documents into clean records automatically.
Generative features
Draft emails, generate summaries, spin up images, rewrite copy — the creative, delightful features that make your product feel a step ahead.
Predictive & scoring
Churn risk, lead scoring, demand forecasting, anomaly detection — models that turn your historical data into decisions users can act on.
Voice & multimodal
Speech-to-text, voice interfaces and image understanding — meet your users wherever they are, on whatever they're holding.
Guardrails & evals
The unglamorous bit that matters: prompt safety, output validation, cost controls and evaluation loops so your AI stays reliable in production.
What we do
Full-stack Laravel, done properly
Everything you need to take an idea from whiteboard to a live, maintainable product.
AI-native web apps
Bespoke Laravel applications with intelligence built in — dashboards, portals and SaaS products where AI copilots and automation are part of the core, not an afterthought.
Claude & LLM integration
We plug Claude and other large language models into your product properly — streaming responses, tool calling, retrieval, cost controls and fallbacks — connected to your real data.
AI MVP & product build
Validate an AI idea fast. We help founders ship a credible first version — prompt, pipeline and product — then iterate toward scale without the tech debt.
Maintenance & support
Ongoing care for existing Laravel apps — upgrades, bug fixes, performance tuning and security patches from a team you can actually reach.
Deployment & DevOps
Dockerised environments, CI/CD pipelines, zero-downtime deploys and monitoring — so releases are boring and predictable.
Rescue & refactor
Inherited a messy codebase? We audit, stabilise and modernise legacy applications so you can build on solid ground again.
Why Zekini
A partner, not just a vendor
We keep the team small and the standards high. You work directly with the people writing your code.
- Senior by default. Your project isn't handed to juniors to learn on.
- Maintainable code. Tested, documented and readable — easy for anyone to pick up later.
- Straight talk. Clear scope, realistic estimates and no surprises on the invoice.
- In it for the long run. Most of our clients stay with us for years.
Selected work
Software we've shipped
Products we designed and built for others, plus client work we keep under wraps. When a project is under NDA, it stays that way — that discretion is part of the deal.
Product build
Kadro
A Linear/Trello-style Kanban platform we built to give teams visibility into what their AI agents are working on — automation, recurring tasks and error-log triage. Laravel API + React SPA.

Product build
Loupe — property AI
Paste a property listing and AI returns an independent risk report in seconds — condition and legal red flags, with vision analysis of the photos. Laravel API + React SPA, LLMs behind a swappable adapter.

How we work
Zekini Standards
Our shared engineering-standards repo — coding conventions, tooling, CI and review config that every project inherits. It's why our code reads the same and stays maintainable, whoever is writing it.

Customer-experience platform
Multi-tenant Voice-of-Customer platform — survey builder, SMS/WhatsApp/email delivery, conversational completion and AI-ready reporting.
Client work
Redacted
AI survey-testing engine
LLM-driven tooling that validates survey logic and generates balanced, logically-consistent test datasets — work that used to take days, done in minutes.

Fitness tracking REST API
A clean, well-documented REST API powering a fitness-tracking product for a UK company — auth, data sync and a stable contract for their apps to build on.
Most of our work is under NDA — client names stay private. Get in touch and we'll walk you through relevant examples.
How we work
A process built on clarity
No black boxes. You always know what we're building and why.
-
01
Discover
We dig into your goals, users and constraints — then agree on scope, budget and timeline before a line of code is written.
-
02
Design
We map the data model, key screens and architecture so the build is grounded in a plan, not guesswork.
-
03
Build
Short iterations with working software you can see. Tested as we go, with regular check-ins and demos.
-
04
Ship & support
We deploy to production, hand over cleanly, and stick around to support, improve and scale the product.
