Minus — AI-first development studio engineering precision AI systems for businesses.

— Our Process

Four phases.
One complete system.

We don't write code first. We engineer precision AI systems — end to end, from signal to launch.

01

Analyze

Before a single line of code, we interrogate the problem. Deep discovery sessions, data landscape audits, and strategic mapping to define exactly what is being built — and why it will work.

  • Problem discovery & scoping
  • Data landscape audit
  • AI feasibility assessment
  • Strategic roadmap
02

Architect

Every system is blueprint-first. We design the complete technical architecture — data pipelines, model selection, infrastructure — before production code begins. The blueprint is the product.

  • System architecture design
  • Model & stack selection
  • Data pipeline engineering
  • Full technical specification
03

Build

Precision engineering at speed. Our team fuses AI models with robust software infrastructure to create systems that think, adapt, and perform under real-world conditions.

  • AI model development & fine-tuning
  • Backend & API engineering
  • Integration & system testing
  • Performance optimisation
04

Deploy

Launch is the beginning, not the end. We ship with CI/CD pipelines, live monitoring dashboards, and dedicated post-launch support — ensuring your system scales as your business grows.

  • Production deployment
  • CI/CD pipeline setup
  • Live performance monitoring
  • Ongoing system optimisation

— Case Studies

Systems in Production.

Insurance Operations Intelligence System

From a hundred spreadsheets to a single question.

The Problem

A US-based insurance firm operating across multiple teams and time zones needed an unreasonable amount of effort to answer a simple question: who is working on what, right now? Senior managers navigated dense, manually maintained spreadsheets updated inconsistently across departments. By the time data reached leadership, it was already hours out of date.

The Solution

Minus designed and deployed a conversational operations intelligence system — a custom AI chat interface where managers ask natural language questions and receive precise, real-time answers drawn directly from live operational databases. At the core: a custom SQL agent that translates plain English into accurate database calls. No dashboards to configure. No analyst to involve. Just a question and an answer.

Results

  • 48-hour delivery from brief to working MVP
  • ~80% reduction in ops reporting time
  • <5s response time to any workforce query
  • 1-day onboarding for any new manager — zero training required

AI-Powered Accounting Platform

The accounting department that fits in your pocket.

The Problem

For most small businesses, accounting is a burden, not a function. Receipts pile up in inboxes, bank statements arrive in unreadable formats, invoices live in email threads. At the end of every month someone manually pieces it all together. Businesses that can afford an accountant pay for hours of work that should take minutes. The ones that can’t either fall behind or spend founder time on work that has nothing to do with growing the company.

The Solution

Minus built an end-to-end AI accounting platform: bank integration via Plaid, custom OCR for unstructured documents, and a custom-trained transaction categorisation engine — the hardest and most important part. A misclassified transaction distorts every report, every tax calculation, every financial decision built on top of it. The platform delivers real-time financial analytics: spend breakdowns, cash flow trends, P&L visibility, and tax-ready summaries — all generated automatically.

Results

  • 90% reduction in manual bookkeeping time
  • $8k+ average annual savings per business on accounting costs
  • 1-click to generate a complete financial summary
  • End-to-end encryption at every layer — privacy by design

Nivesha — AI Portfolio Decision Platform

Multi-agent portfolio intelligence for Indian equity markets.

The Problem

Investors relied on fragmented tools to evaluate stocks and manage portfolios — creating information overload, inconsistent decision-making from emotional bias, lack of integrated risk management, and limited transparency into why decisions were made. Particularly pronounced in Indian equity markets, where investors must synthesize data from multiple local sources while adhering to market-specific trading rules.

The Solution

A multi-agent AI decision system that continuously evaluates stocks across the Nifty 500 universe, synthesizing signals from technical indicators (RSI, MACD, moving averages), corporate fundamentals, discounted cash flow models, and market sentiment. Institutional-grade risk controls — position limits, sector concentration controls, automated stop-loss, circuit breakers — are embedded directly into the decision workflow. Integrated with Zerodha Kite Connect for automated trade execution.

Results

  • Automated analysis across the Nifty 500 universe
  • Real-time portfolio risk monitoring with position and exposure constraints
  • AI-driven buy/sell recommendations with full auditability via PostgreSQL decision logs
  • Backtesting engine with Sharpe ratio, drawdown, and benchmark comparison
