Products

Software that does the thing, end to end

Each product solves a problem its users had been hand-piecing together for years. The math has been figured out. The interfaces are calm. The work that should have been infrastructure is now infrastructure.

Open Road Ace

Pacing app for open-road time-trial racing. Replaces a human navigator with a virtual rabbit and millisecond-accurate finish-gate detection.

Used solo to win the 100 mph class at BBORR April 2026 with a +0.016 sec cumulative delta over 117.86 miles. Across ten years of BBORR history (182 class-events): would have podiumed in every single one.

Climb Test Prep

Adaptive iOS app to prep for the SAT® exam, built around mastery, not engagement. AI tutor (Wren) with persistent memory, sherpa-guided climb to your target score. No XP, no streaks, no leaderboards.

Built for one kid first — the founder's son, target 1340 by Sep 2026. Three teaching modes (Explain / Diagnose / Reassure & Reset), grounded in Bloom's two-sigma + Cognitive Tutor research. Three pricing tiers — Climb Monthly, Climb Annual, and a Season Pass — billed by Apple, with an AI usage cap that bounds costs. The Climb metaphor mirrors a real Mt. Everest base-camp trek the founder is taking with his son in 2027.

Procurement Helper

Desktop tool that automates the procurement workflow that industrial buyers spend their evenings doing by hand.

163 tests in production. Sister web app (PH-Web) generates RAPID Deck templates directly. Currently in private beta with select procurement teams.

Wren Engine

Coherent AI. Customizable. Self-improving. Time-aware. Durable memory. A custom AI harness — the runtime under every KyrosWorks product — that solves what most LLM stacks still can't: amnesia between sessions, drift across time, single-machine isolation, and single-agent ceilings.

Wren — the engine's namesake — logs each session's proactive surfaces, runs weekly self-review, and proposes one durable change at a time. Custom-built. Powers continuity across every KyrosWorks product. Not currently externalized.

People

Built for the people who already have the problem

Each product is shaped by a specific group of users — people who have been working around the gap for years, stitching the workflow together by hand, waiting for the right tool. KyrosWorks software is what they would have built for themselves.

Open Road Ace

Open-road racers

TSD competitors at sanctioned events like the Big Bend Open Road Race, the Silver State Classic Challenge, and the Sandhills Open Road Challenge. For forty years they've paced 100-mile courses with stopwatches, paper charts, and a navigator calling splits. Open Road Ace does the timing math at GPS precision so the driver can focus on the road.

Procurement Helper

Industrial buyers

Procurement teams at industrial and commercial contractors. Their workdays end at 5; their evenings get eaten by the stitch-work between their ERP, their vendor spreadsheets, and the purchasing docs they have to assemble. Procurement Helper runs the workflow end-to-end and gives the evenings back.

Climb Test Prep

High school students prepping for the SAT

Students with a target score, a test date, and the wrong tools — generic curricula that ignore where they actually need work, gamified apps that optimize for streaks over mastery. Climb adapts to the student, teaches what's missing, and remembers what's already been worked through.

AI

AI-native development, end to end

KyrosWorks builds with AI as a primary collaborator — from architecture decisions and code review through testing, marketing, and customer support. The AI is the second engineer, not a feature you turn on.

The pattern

AI in our workflow does specific work: writing code from a clear specification, parsing data we'd otherwise process by hand, drafting marketing copy from verified facts. It reviews pull requests against project conventions, maintains a memory layer that survives between sessions, and orchestrates multi-agent workflows when problems span more capability than one model can fit. None of this is a chatbot.

Inside the products

Where AI shows up in shipped products, it shows up quietly and where it changes the outcome — not as a marketing feature. Open Road Ace doesn't have an LLM in it; it has a deterministic timing engine that AI helped build, validate, and calibrate against ten years of historical race data. Procurement Helper uses LLMs where the workflow is unstructured text and rule-based code where it's deterministic. AI shows up where it actually outperforms the alternative. Nowhere else.

What this means in practice

Smaller team, faster cycles, deeper testing than a single human could produce alone. The products ship more thoroughly tested than most companies ten times the size. The marketing copy is verified against primary data. The code review is two-pass. The memory persists. None of this is achievable without AI in the loop — and none of it is sold as "AI-powered," either.
