We build custom software and AI automation that gives growing companies hours back every week — then we stay on to make sure your team actually uses it. Run by an operator with 20 years in product, not an agency with a meter running.

Services
From first automation to full platform.
Start small with one painful process, or rebuild the whole stack. Either way, AI does the heavy lifting and your team gets time back.
Workflow Automation & AI Integration
We find the hours your team loses to manual work — data entry, reporting, scheduling, follow-ups — and automate them. AI built into the tools you already use, not bolted on.
- Process audits & automation roadmaps
- LLM-powered document & email workflows
- Dashboards that replace spreadsheet reporting
Custom SaaS Platforms
Industry-specific software built from the ground up for businesses that off-the-shelf tools have left behind. Multi-tenant, cloud-native, and built to scale with you.
- Replace legacy desktop tools & spreadsheets
- Built around your actual operations
- You own the roadmap — not a vendor
Web & Mobile Apps
Full-stack applications shipped fast. AI-accelerated development means we go from idea to working product in weeks — at a fraction of traditional agency cost.
- MVP to production-ready in weeks
- Modern stack: Next.js, PostgreSQL, cloud
- IoT & hardware integrations when you need them
AI Adoption & Support
Bringing AI into your business shouldn't mean figuring it out alone. We train your team, monitor what we build, and keep improving it — as an ongoing partnership, not a handoff.
- Team training & change management
- Monitoring, tuning & monthly improvements
- Flat-rate subscription — no surprise invoices
AI Enablement

You don't need to become an AI expert. We handle the whole path — from your first tool to custom agents wired into your systems — so AI actually makes your day easier.

AI Agent Creation
Custom AI agents that do the work — answering customers, processing documents, chasing invoices, pulling reports. Built around your operations and the tools you already run.
- Agents scoped to your real tasks
- Wired into your existing systems
- Guardrails, review & human-in-the-loop

- Honest opportunity assessment
- Prioritized, plain-English roadmap

- Works with Claude & other MCP clients
We'll tell you the one place AI would help most — even if you don't hire us.
How we work
No black boxes. No surprises.
You'll always know what we're building, why, what it costs, and when it ships.
Discovery
We dig into how your business actually runs — where time goes, where money leaks, what your team dreads doing. You get an honest assessment, not a sales pitch.
Roadmap
A clear, prioritized plan: what to automate first, what to build, what it costs, and what it returns. Scoped in plain English with fixed pricing.
Build & Ship
We build in short cycles and show you working software every week. No six-month black boxes — you see progress and steer as we go.
Support & Grow
After launch, we stay on. Training, monitoring, and continuous improvement through a flat-rate support subscription. Your tools get better every month.
About
Built by an operator, not an agency.
Cornish Technologies was founded by Andrew Cornish after 20 years as a product manager in the financial industry — two decades of turning messy business problems into software that people actually use, in one of the most demanding environments there is.
That background changes how we work. We don't start with technology — we start with your P&L. Every project is scoped around a business outcome: hours saved, errors eliminated, revenue unlocked. AI-accelerated development is how we deliver it faster and cheaper than a traditional shop.
You work directly with the people building your software. No account managers, no hand-offs, no bloat.
Why clients pick us
Where we work
Local to Columbia & the greater St. Louis region.
Cornish Technologies is based in Columbia, Illinois and works with small and mid-size businesses across Monroe County, the Metro East, and the St. Louis metropolitan area — plus remote clients nationwide. You get a local partner who answers the phone, not an offshore ticket queue.
FAQ
Common questions
Small and mid-size businesses — typically 5 to 200 employees. Companies big enough to feel the pain of manual processes and legacy tools, but without an internal software team to fix it.
