A local guide with a point of view
A more useful way to find the people, places, and happenings that make Austin feel like Austin.
Apps & tools / useful on purpose
Small systems that take real work off your plate.
The Austin Catalyst shapes practical AI and business tools; Soltra is the platform where we host and demonstrate them. Explore what is working now, then see what we are still shaping for Austin.
Built here · hosted on Soltra
A practical proving ground for useful software.
Soltra supports the working side of this practice: custom web and mobile apps, AI-assisted workflows, CRMs, booking systems, client portals, dashboards, and lightweight internal tools.
Available to explore
Working demos, no invented case study.
These public demonstrations open on Soltra in a new tab. They show the kinds of focused products we can shape—not client results we have not earned.
AI-assisted reception
Help with the first hello—and the follow-through.
We can shape an AI receptionist around common questions, intake, scheduling, and handoff needs. It is a capability we are developing, not a replacement for the people who know your business.
Being shaped for Austin
