28 live products01AnuraAI agent governanceReads a repository and produces an inventory of every agent in it — LangChain, CrewAI, the Claude Agent SDK, raw provider calls — with a running cost against each one. No SDK to wrap, no proxy, no keys.02DispatchWebMCP research deskA YouTube research workspace a person and an agent drive together in one browser tab, over the WebMCP browser API rather than a server round-trip.03TOADAgent compilerAgents as data, compiled to types. A .agent file goes in; readable, fully-typed TypeScript comes out.04SAP MigratorMulti-tenant SaaSSAP S/4HANA migration without hand-written XML: object mapping, templates, simulate-then-migrate runs and an audit trail for every load.05AI Fleet Manageraifleetmanager.co.zaFleet operations for South African hauliers — document processing, real-time analytics and payload tracking in one desk.06K53k53.techPractice for South Africa's computerised learner's licence test, marked the way the real CLLT marks it — down to the questions that fail you on the spot.07App Factory27 apps, installableThe catalogue as a product: every app the factory has stamped out, running in the browser and installable from it. Ships twice — once to the store, once to the web.08Hendricks ArcadeSmall games, no waiting roomThe games the Construct factory makes, playable on the spot — no download, no account, no loading screen worth the name.094realAgents inside UnrealUnreal Engine 5.6's native MCP server plus a deep editor toolkit — terrain, UMG, Niagara, animation, materials, profiling — driven by a fleet of Claude agents.10WordPress pluginsThe plugin factory's shelfTwelve plugins, each doing one job well, all built on the same core and free to download. This page is what the factory is for.11CartRecovery ProShopify appAbandonment detection, automated email recovery and exit-intent popups for Shopify stores.12X GoldGold trading deskLive gold pricing, portfolio and competition play in one dashboard — quick buy, quick sell, and a leaderboard to answer for it.13Bruno AIFinancial intelligence platformRevenue trends, expense breakdown and flagged opportunities, read off the books automatically.14YouTube MCP ServerModel Context ProtocolShipped weeks after MCP went public and picked up as a community server in Anthropic's official repository. Over 105,000 installs since. Gives an assistant real control of a channel: search, transcripts, Shorts, analytics.15Avatar Human Capitalavatarhuman.capitalAI advisory for HR, finance and operations teams.16VeriChainXBrand protection on HederaCounterfeit detection for physical goods, with each authenticity record anchored on-chain so it outlives whoever sold it.17d8ta Module CatalogPlatform modulesThe modules a d8ta platform is assembled from — auth, design system, data and AI, fleet, human capital — each ready to run on its own.18KeptSchedulingA third of booked meetings don't happen. Kept optimises for the meeting happening rather than for the slot being filled.19NOMADESwap houseA wardrobe without borders — South Africa's independent clothing swap, Johannesburg to Cape Town.20DigiJoyAI, software and app studioFour disciplines, one desk. Shipped, not demoed.21MicroForgeOne job, one toolA shelf of single-purpose browser tools — CSV to Markdown, QR codes, signatures — each generated from the same core.22UGC GeneratorCreative studioAnalyses competitors, then generates user-generated-style content against what it found.23SmelifyScent, digitallyBringing smell to the digital world — a Prickly Pair experiment in a sense nobody has shipped yet.24Visit Al AqsaCrowdfunding platformSponsors a stranger's trip — flights, accommodation and meals, funded in the open.25Deen LinkLearning marketplacePairs students with qualified Muallimas for one-to-one Islamic studies.26Shop TogetherSocial commerceShopping is better with your people in the room — a shared cart your friends can actually stand in.27Prickly Pair StudiosThe studio front doorWhere the multi-agent systems and SaaS work is signed.28Sheep NinjaBrowser arcadePixel-art platformer, title screen through to the high-score table.25iOS apps shipped

construct-factoryFourteen years of this, and the first ten were other people’s systems: a municipality, a fund administrator in Bermuda, a bank’s batch estate, and four hundred students who needed CompTIA to pass. The AS400 integrations taught me more about durable software than anything since.
What I do now is narrower and older than it looks. An agent that survives production is not a prompt — it is contracts, trust boundaries, verification and a bill you can read. The factories are the same argument: make the core once, well, and let the catalogue do the rest.
- Agentic engineering — prompt and context engineering, agents that survive production rather than demos.
- Creator of TOAD, a compile-first agent framework, and an early MCP builder: the YouTube MCP server has passed 105,000 installs.
- Lead of AI Tinkerers Cape Town, and author of Agentic Engineering for Real Engineers — 11 sections, 58 lectures, 10 projects that ship.
