How We Build Custom AI Systems That Actually Ship (Without the Agency Bullshit)

At Uclic, we spend our days doing one thing: turning messy, manual business processes into clean, scalable AI workflows that ship fast and deliver ROI from day one.

No hype. No endless POCs. No “AI Lab” theatre.

Just real systems used every day by real teams — sales, ops, content, acquisition, support.

Here’s what that looks like in practice.

🧠 From Chaos to Custom AI: Our Engineering Playbook

Every project starts the same way:
we map the operational bottleneck, isolate the decision points, and design an AI-first workflow around it.

Our stack is simple and brutally efficient:

Next.js + Supabase for the product layer

n8n as the backbone for automation and orchestration

OpenAI / Claude for reasoning and content generation

Custom scrapers for real-world, up-to-date data

Vector DB + embeddings for memory and context

Slack / email / CRM webhooks for signals and routing

No over-engineering, no fragile architectures, no vendor lock-in.
Just tools that scale and can be debugged by a human.

⚙️ Real Use-Cases We Ship Every Week

These are not concepts — they’re in production:

  1. AI-powered outbound engines

Scraping + enrichment + persona modelling + message generation + multichannel orchestration.

  1. Internal automation copilots

Agents that triage tickets, summarize threads, analyze logs, or prepare briefs for teams.

  1. Content pipelines for SEO / media

LLM rewriting, fact-checking, HTML structuration, internal linking, queue management.

  1. Operational workflow AI

Agents that decide the next best action based on data, not rules or intuition.

  1. Data-layer intelligence

Real-time scoring, qualification, routing, enrichment and anomaly detection.

If there’s a repetitive process, we automate it.
If there’s a decision tree, we augment it with AI.

🚀 Our Philosophy

We don’t build “AI features”.
We build AI systems that replace hours of human work.

We don’t promise “10x”.
We deliver 20h saved per week, per person — measurable, provable.

We don’t sell magic.
We ship workflows.
