A small senior team. Pune, India. Boring software, on purpose.
Who we are
Chiselbyte is a small, senior software team based in Pune. We build production-grade LLM systems, custom lending and fintech software, multi-tenant WhatsApp Business API portals, and n8n-powered process automations.
We aren't an agency, and we don't pretend to do everything. Our work falls into four pillars — and the depth shows on every engagement.
What we believe
- →Smallest stack that survives production. Postgres, one deployable, n8n. Change one thing at a time when it breaks.
- →Schemas over vibes. Especially with LLMs. If a feature can't be unit-tested, it isn't a feature yet.
- →Ship the scoped win first. A paid scoping sprint, then a fixed-price deliverable in one to two weeks. Monthly support after that, not before.
How we work
We start every engagement with a paid scoping sprint — three to five days that produce a requirements document, a schema, a working thin slice of the real system, and a fixed price for the build. The fee comes off the build if you proceed. Then we ship the smallest piece of work that demonstrably moves your business, usually in one to two weeks, at the price we quoted. Only after that do we discuss retainers.
For automations and AI workflows, we usually move onto a monthly retainer covering hosting, monitoring, and incremental additions. For larger custom software builds, we work in 2-week milestones with continuous delivery to a staging environment.
What we don't do: discovery decks, 12-week kickoff phases, or proposals padded with services we don't operate. Our numbers are published: what this costs.
Who we work with
We work with lending startups, B2B SaaS companies, agencies that resell WhatsApp services to their clients, and financial services firms with manual ops processes that should be automated.
Our case studies are anonymized because we ship for serious clients who don't want their stack on a marketing page. The technical depth on those pages is the proof, not the logo.
Have a scoped problem?
We respond within one business day. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so.
