Custom AI agents for your firm's most expensive hour of the day.
Built for law firms, accountants, and fee-earning teams who are done renting SaaS. Shipped in 2–6 weeks. Fixed price. Yours to keep — the app, the code, all of it. And we're on call whenever you need a hand after launch.
You approve a written scope and a number before we build. No hourly billing, no change-order theater.
The full source code lands in your repo on day one of launch. No obfuscated binaries, no "our platform, our rules."
Your software doesn't pay us rent every month. Any competent developer can maintain it — including the one you already have.
What a 2-week Brightline Sprint actually looks like.
A 9-attorney litigation firm burned 4 hours per case turning deposition transcripts into issue outlines. We shipped a firm-specific agent in 11 days. Their paralegal now does the same work in 20 minutes.
Three ways to work with us. Most firms start small.
You don't have to commit to a full bespoke module to work with Brightline Labs. Start with a two-week Sprint, get a working agent in your firm, and decide whether to go bigger. Every engagement hands you the source code.
One narrow agent, shipped in two weeks. The fastest way to see what bespoke AI feels like in your firm — and a real case study if you decide to go bigger.

Book a Bottleneck Audit →Four steps from “we have a bottleneck” to “we own the fix.”
30 focused minutes. You describe the bottleneck, we determine together if custom AI is actually the right tool — or if an off-the-shelf product would serve you better.
A precise written scope: what we'll build, how it integrates, what it will and won't do, and a fixed cost. No surprises after this document is signed.
We build in the open. You see every iteration, you test it on your real work, and we tune until it earns its keep.
The full codebase lands in your repository. Architecture designed so any competent developer — including your existing one — can maintain it. You own it.
I'm a lawyer and startup founder turned operator-builder. I ran a boutique law firm for three years before it was acquired by a larger firm for its clientele. Since then, I've been working for 15 years shoulder-to-shoulder with lawyers, CFOs and accounting teams towards exits via: IPO and sale/acquisition to private equity firms.
I know partner-level workflows from the inside: where the billable hours actually go, which tools promise leverage and deliver paperwork, and what 'good' feels like when a piece of software finally earns its place in a firm.
Brightline Labs is designed to be exactly the firm I needed all along. A laser-focused team who scopes the work, ships the module, hands over the source, and leaves.
Good questions, asked often.
Four steps. (1) A 30-minute discovery call to understand your bottleneck and make sure custom software is the right answer. (2) A written scope and fixed price. (3) We build, you test it on real work. (4) Source code lands in your GitHub repo. You own it completely.
A 30-minute audit, not a sales pitch. If custom AI isn't the right answer for your firm, I'll tell you.
