## Services

- [AI-native product development](https://zentered-studios.com/services/ai-native-product-development.md): We take your product from a scoped idea to working software, with the same AI-assisted process we use to build Roadbook. Patrick owns the architecture and the delivery. We build the whole product, or the first release and hand your team the process.
- [Agent pipelines for your team](https://zentered-studios.com/services/agent-pipelines.md): We turn the engineering work your team repeats every week, such as bug triage, code review, and regression checks, into AI agent workflows. They live in your repository, where your team can read, change, and run them.
- [MCP servers: design, build, audit](https://zentered-studios.com/services/mcp-servers.md): An MCP server lets AI assistants such as Claude use your product. We design and build one, or we measure how agents use the one you have, find the tools they misuse, and ship the fixes.
- [AI consulting](https://zentered-studios.com/services/ai-consulting.md): Not sure where AI fits? Patrick reviews your workflows and systems, then tells you what to automate, what to keep human, and how to measure the result, before you commit to a build.
- [AI training for your team](https://zentered-studios.com/training/index.md): A four-week, in-person pilot in Boulder County. Your team puts AI to work on two tasks it does every week, measures the change, and writes its AI policy. Fixed at $6,500 for up to 10 people.
- [MCP workshop](https://zentered-studios.com/services/mcp-workshop.md): One day to decide whether a custom MCP server for your internal products is worth building, and what it should do. You leave with a ranked recommendation, including where not to build. Up to 12 people, in person or remote. Fixed at $2,000.
- [Claude Team setup](https://zentered-studios.com/services/claude-team-setup.md): One day to roll out Claude Team with roles, permissions, and safety guardrails in place, plus a runbook for your administrator. Up to 50 seats. Fixed at $3,000; Anthropic subscriptions are separate.

## Training

## Blog

- [Ten Tickets or One: Cutting Setup Cost in Our Agent Loop](https://zentered-studios.com/blog/agent-loop-setup-cost.md): Our agent pipeline worked in small batches without cutting setup time, so even a tiny ticket used millions of tokens across its delivery cycle. What we measured moving from GitHub Projects to Milestones, what got worse, and the changes we make next.
- [ImmigrationLayer: Immigration Data Your AI Assistant Can Cite](https://zentered-studios.com/blog/introducing-immigrationlayer.md): ImmigrationLayer answers form, fee, and visa date questions from stored USCIS and Department of State data. Each answer carries its date and source link.
- [Your CMS Is Now a Slack Channel](https://zentered-studios.com/blog/claude-tag-as-your-cms.md): We wired Claude Tag to a marketing site built on Astro, SolidJS, and plain Markdown files. Content managers ask for changes in Slack, Claude opens a pull request, Cloudflare builds a preview, and the change ships when someone approves it on GitHub - no CMS, no admin login, no deploy button.
- [How We Ship Roadbook with an Agent Team](https://zentered-studios.com/blog/agent-driven-development-roadbook.md): An experiment in agent-driven development — four pipelines, a product owner that preps the backlog, and a workflow that gets better every time we run it.
- [20 Minutes of Talking Out Loud, Dozens of Issues Filed](https://zentered-studios.com/blog/walkthrough-agent-team.md): How a four-agent Claude Code team turns a narrated product walkthrough into a full set of structured GitHub issues, test specs, and UX notes - no prep, no templates, no follow-up meetings.
