A software lab
Aliyah Labs creates premium websites, useful business tools and small software products for businesses that need something simpler, smarter or more tailored than off-the-shelf software.
Software • Websites • AI • Micro-SaaS
01Who we build for
Sometimes you need one thing done properly. That is usually the thing worth building.
We build those things.
// the tool, from the problem above export const invoiceApproval = workflow({ name: "Invoice approval", states: ["submitted", "approved", "paid"], approvers: role("finance"), onApprove: async (invoice) => { await ledger.post(invoice); await notify(invoice.submittedBy); },}); ✓ 4 tables · auth · 3 states · deployed
03What comes out of the lab
A website, a tool, an automation or a small product. Whichever one actually solves the problem in front of us.
01
Premium websites for businesses, products, founders and brands.
Fast, modern websites designed to make a business look as good online as it actually is. This site is one of them.
02
Small applications built around one specific business problem.
Replace the spreadsheet, the manual process or the workaround with something built around the way your business actually works.
03
Simple software that makes a business easier to deal with.
Customers stop emailing to ask where something is, because they can just look.
04
Practical AI features that help people get things done.
We use AI where it genuinely makes a product more useful — not because it is fashionable.
05
Remove repetitive work by connecting the tools a business already uses.
The copy-and-paste between two systems that somebody performs every Monday morning.
06
Small software products built around one specific problem.
One problem. One useful product. No unnecessary complexity.
04From the lab
Some ideas start with a business problem. Others start as experiments. We build them, test them and see where they go. The ones that prove useful get developed further.
01Experiment
The tool
One place to send an invoice, approve it and see where it got to — with a record of who signed off what.
02Experiment
The tool
One screen with the handful of figures a business checks each morning, and a plain sentence explaining what moved.
03Experiment
The tool
Reads what arrives, sorts it, drafts the obvious replies and flags what a person should actually see.
04Experiment
The tool
Send a quote, see when it is opened, get it signed, and know which ones are going cold.
05The model
Most of what we build is built for one business. Occasionally the same problem turns up again, and again — and that is when it gets interesting. The tool becomes a product. That is how we end up with micro-SaaS.
Build for you
A website, or a tool built around the way your business actually works. Either way, not a template.
Build with us
When the same problem keeps appearing, we build it properly and turn it into something anyone with that problem can sign up to.
06How it goes
Four steps. No six-month discovery project. No two-hundred-page specification.
Start with the problem.
What's taking too long? What's being done manually? What's living in a spreadsheet? What's harder than it should be?
Create the smallest useful version.
We don't start by building a hundred features. We build the part that actually solves the problem.
Put it in people's hands.
See what works. See what doesn't. Improve it. Real use beats assumptions every time.
Keep building what proves useful.
A small tool can stay a small tool. Or it can turn into a product.
07Why small
Big software companies build for huge markets. We are interested in the gaps. The specific workflow. The spreadsheet everyone hates. The repetitive job someone does every Monday. The tool your existing software doesn't have. Those are interesting problems.
Tell us what you needOne problem at a time.
AI-assisted development lets us move quickly from idea to working software.
We build things people actually need.
Software should be useful and look good.
08Questions
09Tell us what you need
Tell us what you're trying to do. It doesn't need to be technical. It could be a website you need, a process that takes too long, a spreadsheet you'd like to replace, or an idea for a product.
You don't need to know what to build.
Tell us what's happening. We'll work out what could be built.
