Vertical software studio · Vermont
Software built carefully for industries the big tools overlook.
Amanita builds deeply specialized software for clients in industries the big tools don't fit - museums, working potters, and others. Multi-tenant, AI-native, regulated-industry-aware, end to end. You own what we build.
Two platforms in production. A third in design.
Madrona and Claybench were each commissioned by a client who deeply understands their field - we designed and built every layer, and both run in production today. Ekphrasis, the third, is in design now. Our clients own the code, the brand, and the data.
The collections platform that finally fits how museums actually work.
A multi-tenant platform spanning collections, digital asset management, AI guides, public CMS, and data integration. Modular apps that institutions adopt one at a time.
- Standards-aligned cataloguing model
- Open image and linked-data interoperability
- Tenant isolation enforced at the database
- AI staff and visitor guides, on-prem option
The platform that runs a working pottery - from clay to calendar.
An all-in-one platform for production potters: physics-aware production planning, piece tracking on web and native iOS, glaze-recipe search, kiln and firing scheduling, defect analytics, class booking, and an integrated shop. Everything connected, so the plan knows the kiln and the kiln knows the calendar.
- Materials engine - drying, cones, shrinkage, safety
- Glaze-recipe search by cone, color, and ingredient
- Piece tracking on web and native iOS
- Class booking, analytics, and an integrated shop
See everything. Leak nothing. Own it all.
A privacy-first, observable knowledge platform, now in design - for organizations that can't send sensitive data to a third party. It turns internal documents and institutional knowledge into a cited, org-owned answering system, with every pipeline stage visible and every boundary crossing auditable.
- Citation-forced answers, grounded in your sources
- Eval heatmap shows exactly where coverage is weak
- Your content never used to train any model
- Deploys anywhere - cloud, on-prem, air-gapped
A consistent pattern, applied to very different fields.
Every Amanita platform shares the same backbone - multi-tenant data isolation, AI-native interfaces, regulated-industry awareness, and full-stack ownership. The domain changes; the rigor doesn't.
Vertical first.
We take on projects in industries where the standard tools are bad fits, working alongside domain experts to build the platform their field deserves. Generic software doesn't make our shortlist.
Multi-tenant from day one.
Tenant isolation belongs at the database, not bolted on later. Auditing, role inheritance, and single sign-on are part of the foundation, not a roadmap item.
AI-native, not AI-dusted.
We use modern AI where it genuinely improves the workflow - schema-aware staff assistants, retrieval over domain corpora, agent tooling - and skip it everywhere else.
Compliance and physics, modeled.
Cataloguing standards, kiln cones, drying curves, GDPR. The unglamorous rules of a field are the most important features.
End to end, then ongoing.
Backend, web, mobile, infrastructure, billing, hosting, monitoring, support. You own everything we build - and most clients keep us on for hosting and ongoing development for years afterward.
Five things we do well.
If you're building something that fits one of these lanes - especially in an industry where the existing tools feel like compromises - we should talk.
End-to-end vertical software builds
We design and build the platform your field deserves - discovery through architecture, build, launch, and the long tail of ongoing development. You own the source, the brand, and the data; we run it for as long as you want us to.
AI integration that holds up
Schema-aware assistants, retrieval over your domain corpus, agent tooling, and locally-hostable options for institutions that can't send their data to a third party. Used where it actually helps; skipped where it doesn't.
Multi-tenant architecture
Database-level tenant isolation, role inheritance, single sign-on, immutable audit trails. Built right the first time so you don't have to retrofit it later.
Regulated-industry data systems
Cataloguing standards, NAGPRA, GDPR-aware exports. We design for industries where the paperwork matters as much as the product.
Hosting, monitoring, and support
Production hosting, monitoring, on-call for incidents, and ongoing development. We run what we build.
Have an industry that mainstream tools forgot?
If you're a domain expert with a clear thesis about what your field needs and you'd like a team that can build it end to end, we should talk.
The fastest path is an email with a paragraph or two about what you're trying to build and what you've already tried. We'll write back within a business day.
