Catalyst
About

A small studio with one job: give you your time back

Catalyst is founder-led. You work directly with the person building your automations — no account managers, no handoffs, no offshore mystery team.

Why Catalyst exists

Most organizations don't need more software. They need the software they already have to stop making people do manual work around it — re-typing form responses, chasing payments, rebuilding the same report every month.

Catalyst was started to do exactly that work for the organizations that can't justify a full-time automation hire: residential societies, clinics, agencies, non-profits and family businesses.

The practice is new, and priced accordingly for early clients. What isn't new is the toolkit — the founder trained intensively in current-generation automation and AI systems (n8n, agentic workflows, LLM integrations, MCP) and now builds them for others.

The toolkit

  • n8n & Make
  • Zapier
  • Claude & LLM APIs
  • Model Context Protocol (MCP)
  • Custom scripts & APIs
  • Google Workspace & Microsoft 365
  • Airtable & spreadsheets
  • Webhooks & internal dashboards
Principles

How we work

Work with your tools

We don't sell a platform. We connect the spreadsheets, forms, inboxes and apps you already run on.

No lock-in

Everything is built in your accounts and documented. If we part ways, nothing breaks and nothing is hostage.

Fixed fees

You get a number before we start. No hourly meters, no open-ended invoices.

Humans stay in charge

Automations handle the busywork and hand the judgement calls back to your team, with a clear trail.

Let's look at one workflow together

Thirty minutes, no obligation. Bring the task that annoys your team the most.
