Built for you. Run for you. Kept valuable.
We build AI agents and business systems that improve how your business works, then run them for you through Managed AI Operations.
Start with a ConversationSpeed without direction is just expensive confusion.
The pressure is building. Competitors might be adopting it. Customers might start expecting it. But nothing you've tried has changed how your business operates.
You've been cold-emailed by vendors promising to 10x your revenue. Maybe you hired someone who delivered a chatbot nobody uses. You're right to be sceptical.
You can't delegate “understand AI” to your team because nobody on the team knows either. The decision sits with you.
This isn’t panic. It’s the slow-building kind of urgency. You know the window is narrowing. You just don’t know what acting looks like.
“I'm having to train Jasper, and I'm learning more about my business than I ever thought I would have to. I can just feel myself speeding up as a manager of my own business.”

“You don't need to understand AI. You need someone who does, who also understands business.”
Khali, founder of Alchymie
Khali began as a software engineer at ThoughtWorks: eight years across Melbourne, Bangalore, San Francisco, and Sydney. Then part of Vodafone's Digital Leadership Team, leading 100 people across six teams: online sales up 200%, employee engagement from 43% to 63% in six months, NPS from negative to positive in a year. Then trained as a leadership coach and spent years working at the human layer, where technology adoption actually succeeds or fails.
That combination is rare. Most AI consultants either think strategically but don't build, or build but can't shape the architecture around how the people will actually use it. The difference shows up in whether the thing gets adopted, or sits unused in a corner of the business.
About Khali →
Every engagement runs the same loop, whether it starts with a single working session or a whole area of your business.
We start with your business, not a technology stack. We find the work that is costing you and the work you never get to: what an agent could own, and what stays human.
We build the agent, train it against real examples from your business, and teach you how to work with it. Approval gates wherever you want a person in the loop.
We run it for you: monitored, maintained, on our watch. You get the result; we stay accountable for the system.
Every month it is tested against real work, and you get a short report of what it did and what changed. Then we point the loop at the next job, or the next opportunity.
Your mental model of AI was probably formed in 2022. What exists in 2026 is not an upgrade. It is a different category of capability. And the economics now favour any business, not just those with large tech budgets.
What makes this harder to dismiss than previous technology waves: these agents don't work alone. In early 2026, sixteen AI agents built a 100,000-line software project from scratch, coordinating among themselves through a shared codebase, no orchestrator and no human directing the work. The whole build cost about US$20,000 in compute. Those 16-plus hours above are per agent, and that figure has been doubling roughly every four to six months. When agents work in parallel, total capacity multiplies.
The businesses competing well in 2028 are deciding now. The hard part isn't moving fast. It's moving in the right direction.
Most AI help leaves you a plan or a handover. We leave you agents that keep running. Your business wasn't built on shortcuts. And in a moment when every business is reaching for AI tools, the differentiator is not access. It's understanding. We start with your business, not a technology stack. Understanding it deeply enough to know where AI creates real value, and where it doesn't.
Alchemy was never about turning lead into gold. It was about transformation through understanding: knowing your material deeply enough to reveal what it could become.
That's how we approach your business. Not with a toolkit of AI solutions looking for problems, but with the patience to understand what you've built and the judgement to know how AI can make it better.
Bring us the job you are sickest of, or the one you never get to. In one conversation we will map what an agent could own, what has to stay human, and what it would be worth. You keep the map either way.
