mantichor

Products, not just software.

The studio of Pete Mueller, a CTO who still writes the code, weaving AI into how teams design, sell, and ship.

What Mantichor does

A rare blend: builds the product, sells the product, runs the team.

Most operators do one of these well. Mantichor is the through-line across hardware and software, sales and engineering, the boardroom and the terminal.

01

AI woven in, not bolted on

Agentic frameworks for architecting apps and running sales campaigns, AI governance that detects and documents how models get used, and computer-vision systems shipped into retail and pharma. AI as a working part of the org, with the guardrails to match.

02

Whole products, end to end

Embedded hardware and kiosks, mobile apps, data warehouses, cloud-agnostic SaaS on Docker and Kubernetes. From the silicon to the storefront, and the release cycle that ties it together.

03

Executive judgment

Twenty years leading teams from three to three hundred. IT spend cut by half a million, services revenue up 130% year over year, M&A due diligence and platform integration. The technical call and the business call, made by the same person.

04

Proof that AI plus a craftsman ships quality

Mantichor's own products are built largely with AI agents under a knowledgeable hand, evidence that the tooling produces real applications when an experienced human is steering.

Let's talk

Hiring, investing, or building something hard?

If you need someone who can architect the system, lead the team, and still ship the code, that's the whole point of Mantichor.
