Consultation and hands-on technical work for businesses with a problem that needs solving properly — the core of what Float Point does right now.
Off-the-shelf software solves the problems everyone has. The ones actually costing you time and money are usually specific to your business — the workaround nobody has time to fix, the report someone rebuilds by hand, the process that only works because one person remembers how. No product was ever designed for those, because they are yours alone.
That is the work: we consult with businesses on their technical problems, then build the fix. It stays deliberately broad, because the job is shaped by what you actually need — not by whatever we happened to build already.
The products on this site grew out of exactly that kind of work. Solving real problems for real businesses is how you find out which of them are worth turning into a product.
Two live engagements. We can describe the work but not always the client — when a contract says a name stays out of our marketing, it stays out.
Ingesting tracking information, automating reporting, and automating shipping and receiving — replacing the manual handling that sits between an order arriving and a device going out the door.
The attorney who owns the firm wants to pilot Ivan, and we're preparing for it — adapting our locally hosted AI receptionist to the way a legal practice actually runs, with privileged client material staying on the firm's own infrastructure.
Start with a conversation, not a proposal. You describe what is slow, brittle, manual, or simply broken, and we work out together whether it is the real problem or a symptom of one.
Plenty of technical problems are not solved by buying more technology. We look at how the work actually flows today and find where the friction genuinely is — which is not always where it appears to be.
Then we build it, integrate it, and make sure it survives contact with the way your business really operates. The goal is something that works and keeps working — not a slide deck.
The spreadsheet everyone re-keys, the report someone rebuilds every Monday, the process that lives in one person's head. Work done by hand over and over is usually a system nobody ever got around to building.
Most businesses run several tools that each hold part of the picture and none of the whole. Getting them to talk to each other is often the biggest improvement available for the least work.
Sometimes the answer is AI — and increasingly it can run on hardware you already own instead of a monthly subscription. Sometimes the answer very much isn't AI, and we'll tell you that rather than sell it to you.
If it is technical and it is holding the business back, it is worth a conversation. A lot of the most useful work does not arrive with a neat label on it.
Float Point is a small operation, and that is the point. You are not handed to an account manager and then to a delivery team you never met. The person who works out what you need is the person who builds it.
It also means the expertise behind the products is available to your problem. The same engineering that runs capable AI on a single local machine — the work behind Ivan and Classic IDE, built on Nothing Inc.'s efficiency research — is there for you whenever it's the right tool for the job.
It starts with a conversation. Describe what's getting in your way and we'll tell you honestly whether we can help.
