AI-native Laravel studio

Laravel apps with
AI in their bones.

Zekini CC builds production-grade web applications on Laravel — then wires in the funky stuff: copilots, chatbots that actually know your data, autonomous agents, semantic search and workflow automation. Software that thinks along with your team.

  • AI-firstBuilt in, not bolted on
  • LaravelRock-solid foundation
  • End-to-endDesign, build, deploy

We speak fluent LLM — RAG, embeddings, agents, function calling and eval loops — on a foundation that won't fall over in production.

The funky stuff

AI features your users will actually use

Not a chatbot bolted onto a corner of the screen. Real intelligence woven through the product — grounded in your data, running inside your Laravel app.

🤖

AI copilots & assistants

In-app assistants that answer questions, draft content and take actions on behalf of your users — with function calling wired straight into your models.

💬

RAG chatbots

Chatbots that actually know your business. We ground responses in your docs, database and knowledge base so answers are accurate, not hallucinated.

🧭

Semantic search

Search by meaning, not keywords. Vector embeddings with pgvector let users find the right thing even when they don't know the exact words.

⚙️

Autonomous agents

Multi-step AI workflows that plan, use tools and get things done — triaging tickets, enriching leads or running back-office tasks on a schedule.

📄

Document intelligence

Pull structured data out of invoices, contracts and PDFs. Classify, summarise and extract — turning messy documents into clean records automatically.

Generative features

Draft emails, generate summaries, spin up images, rewrite copy — the creative, delightful features that make your product feel a step ahead.

🔮

Predictive & scoring

Churn risk, lead scoring, demand forecasting, anomaly detection — models that turn your historical data into decisions users can act on.

🎙️

Voice & multimodal

Speech-to-text, voice interfaces and image understanding — meet your users wherever they are, on whatever they're holding.

🛡️

Guardrails & evals

The unglamorous bit that matters: prompt safety, output validation, cost controls and evaluation loops so your AI stays reliable in production.

Model-agnostic by design

We work across Claude, OpenAI, Gemini and open-source models — picking the right one for the job, and keeping you free to switch as the landscape shifts.

What we do

Full-stack Laravel, done properly

Everything you need to take an idea from whiteboard to a live, maintainable product.

AI-native web apps

Bespoke Laravel applications with intelligence built in — dashboards, portals and SaaS products where AI copilots and automation are part of the core, not an afterthought.

LLM integration

We plug large language models into your product properly — streaming responses, function calling, retrieval, cost controls and fallbacks — connected to your real data.

AI MVP & product build

Validate an AI idea fast. We help founders ship a credible first version — prompt, pipeline and product — then iterate toward scale without the tech debt.

Maintenance & support

Ongoing care for existing Laravel apps — upgrades, bug fixes, performance tuning and security patches from a team you can actually reach.

Deployment & DevOps

Dockerised environments, CI/CD pipelines, zero-downtime deploys and monitoring — so releases are boring and predictable.

Rescue & refactor

Inherited a messy codebase? We audit, stabilise and modernise legacy applications so you can build on solid ground again.

Why Zekini

A partner, not just a vendor

We keep the team small and the standards high. You work directly with the people writing your code.

  • Senior by default. Your project isn't handed to juniors to learn on.
  • Maintainable code. Tested, documented and readable — easy for anyone to pick up later.
  • Straight talk. Clear scope, realistic estimates and no surprises on the invoice.
  • In it for the long run. Most of our clients stay with us for years.

Meaning-based catalogue search

Vector search that finds the right product even when customers don't know the right words.

How we work

A process built on clarity

No black boxes. You always know what we're building and why.

  1. 01

    Discover

    We dig into your goals, users and constraints — then agree on scope, budget and timeline before a line of code is written.

  2. 02

    Design

    We map the data model, key screens and architecture so the build is grounded in a plan, not guesswork.

  3. 03

    Build

    Short iterations with working software you can see. Tested as we go, with regular check-ins and demos.

  4. 04

    Ship & support

    We deploy to production, hand over cleanly, and stick around to support, improve and scale the product.
