Make it
all work.
We bring people, AI and software into accord. Less friction between what you need and what happens next.
Start with a problemSeparate parts.
Waiting for a connection.
Software that resolves intent.

Complex problems.
Considered solutions.
Four disciplines, one connected practice. We build the interfaces people use, the agents that act, and the systems that make it all possible.
02 / Current engagements

03 / A working example
A little less browsing.
A little more doing.
This is what we mean by an interface that understands intent. Describe a problem. See how we would approach it.
04 / The way we work
Good questions.
Then good software.
The most useful thing we build first is an understanding of what you actually need. Everything else follows from that.
One problem. Traced end to end.
A focused diagnostic, a clear direction, and a write-up you keep whether or not we continue together.
- 01
Find the real problem.
Trace the journey, ask the awkward questions, and measure where things stop working. The brief underneath the brief is where we begin.
- 02
Make something useful.
Build around one clear outcome. Connect the right systems, keep people in control, and make every decision traceable.
- 03
Keep making it better.
Watch what happens in the real world. Remove the next point of friction. Measure the change. Repeat.
Attention
Qualified arrivals, not sessions
Why, repeatedly
Stated brief vs. actual intent
Friction
Steps to value, time to value
Signal
Drop-off per stage
Motion
Change vs. movement in the loop
Your repository. Your keys. Your data. Always.
What does Akkord do?
Akkord is a software studio building four things: intent-based websites, AI agent systems, applied AI development such as retrieval and extraction, and integrations between services. The common thread is reducing the distance between what someone wants and getting it.
How is Akkord different from a website agency?
Website agencies optimise for landings and traffic, meaning how many people arrived. Akkord optimises the loop that starts after they arrive: cutting the steps between interested and paying, measuring drop-off at each stage, and changing the surface based on what the data says.
How does an engagement with Akkord start?
With a two-week diagnostic. We trace your path from first attention to paying customer end to end and measure the drop-off at each step rather than guessing it. You keep the write-up whether or not you continue.
Does Akkord build AI agents?
Yes. Agents with durable execution, scoped tools over your real services, a permission boundary agreed before any code is written, and a readable trace of every decision. They escalate to a person when a call is above their pay grade.
Can an AI agent use the Akkord website directly?
Yes. The site exposes a streaming intent endpoint at /api/intent, a description at /llms.txt, and WebMCP tools registered on document.modelContext, so an agent can resolve a brief or open a contact channel without scraping the page.
Who does Akkord work with?
Current engagements include Outercite in AI search intelligence, getohdit in legal and digital risk for South African law firms, and ALM Digital Media in travel and hospitality marketing across the UK, EU and South Africa.
