The work your team still does by hand — done by software instead.
I'm Avinash Dangi, and Kiln is my studio. Quoting, scheduling, chasing, retyping the same numbers into a second system: I build the software and AI agents that take that work off your team and keep it running. You watch the real thing work every week while it is being built.

The maker
Kiln is named for the craft.
I love pottery: clay shaped by hand, then fired until it holds. Kiln is where I do the same thing with software. I design, build and ship every product myself, with an agentic pipeline doing the volume and me holding the gate before anything reaches you.
Nine years building products across fintech, edtech and AI for teams in India, the USA, Singapore and Denmark. I was the founding engineer at SigIQ, where I built PadhAI and EverTutor, and I advise ViziSmart on its architecture and AI systems today.
Away from the screen I'm drawn to artistic products and the people who make them, and to the rooms where people build things together.

What we fix
The jobs that quietly eat your week.
None of these need a bigger team. They need the manual step gone. Find the one that sounds like your business.
Your operations live in a spreadsheet and one person's head.
Every change is a phone call. Every mistake surfaces a week late.
One place the work lives, with your rules built in — and the tools you already pay for talking to each other.
Typically three to four weeks.
- Internal tools
- Dashboards
- Integrations
Every quote and report gets written from scratch.
A good one takes an hour. A rushed one costs you the job.
AI reads the photos and files you already have and drafts it, with the source behind every line.
Typically inside a month.
- AI on documents & photos
- Drafting
- Source-cited answers
The same five questions, fifty times a week.
Someone answers every one, and the answer drifts.
An assistant trained on your content that answers in your words — and hands over to a person when it does not know.
Typically two to three weeks.
- AI chatbots
- Support assistants
- Knowledge search
No public case study on this one yet — ask and we will demo a working one.
People start buying and do not finish.
Traffic is not the problem. The checkout is.
A store built around how your customers actually browse, filter and pay.
Typically three to five weeks.
- Shopify stores
- Websites & landing pages
- Checkout & payments
The work happens on site. The paperwork happens at night.
Notes on a phone, typed up later, half of it remembered wrong.
An app your team uses where the job is, feeding the same system the office sees.
Typically four to six weeks, both stores.
- iOS apps
- Android apps
- One codebase, both stores
In plain terms
- Internal tools & dashboards
- Web apps & customer portals
- Mobile apps
- AI features & automation
- Online stores
- Websites & landing pages
Nothing above sound like you? Tell us the outcome you want and we will say honestly whether we are the right people to build it.
Timings are what this work usually takes, not a quote. Your price and date come out of the scoping call, in writing.

Kiln product · multi-tenant Shopify agent · in pilot

How we work
Idea to shipped.
The same process every time. We agree the scope and the price up front, you watch it get built week by week, and nothing reaches your customers without an engineer signing it off.
Scope
Week zeroA free call, then a written plan. We agree the outcome, the price and the date before anyone writes code — no open clocks, no change-request games.
You get: A fixed price and a fixed date, in writing
Build
Weeks one to fourWe build in the open. Every week you get a link to the real thing running, and a short note on what moved — so you are never waiting on a demo to find out where it stands.
You get: A link you can click, updated every week
Ship
LaunchIt goes live in front of real customers, and we stay on it. Support is a person who knows your codebase, not a ticket queue.
You get: Your product, live, with a person on support
Ready to start?
Most projects: first conversation to something you can use in 2–5 weeks.
You are not handed to a junior.
Whoever scopes your project is the one who builds it. Behind that: products launched from nothing and kept running for a million people, now with AI doing the first pass and an experienced engineer reviewing every line before it reaches your customers. If our AI cannot show you where an answer came from, it does not give you the answer.
Got something to build?
Tell us the outcome you want. We'll come back with scope, price, and a timeline — usually within a day.
Build notes to your inbox
Occasional notes on what we are shipping, how it is built, and the tools and patterns actually worth your time.
