Pre-seedSparkient

Fast AI models for decisions your software makes again and again.

Peter Dobson · Foundersparkient.aiRaising £300K

Problem

Repeated decisions become an engineering problem when rules miss cases or a live-model path exceeds the project's budget.

Approve sign-ups · Categorise submissions · Rank search results

Route messages · Prioritise support · Moderate content · Approve AI agent actions

Write fixed instructions

Hard to cover every case

Build a custom model

Requires data, evaluation and operations

Call an LLM every time

Inherits model latency, usage and availability

Solution

Have your coding agent use Sparkient to create a fast, lightweight AI model for each repeated decision.

Product

Developers define a repeated decision and add examples. Sparkient builds and runs the model.

Define

How urgently should this support request be handled?

URGENT · STANDARD · LOW

Add real examples and any rules that must always apply.

Rules cover exact constraints. Examples cover the grey areas.

Sparkient

Creates the starting examples, then trains, tests and deploys the model.

Sparkient handles the model work.

Decide

“Charged twice. Order cancelled.”

URGENT

Confidence and reason code returned through the API or locally.

Routine requests use the model. An LLM is optional when it is unsure.

Illustrative workload value test

Sparkient is valuable only when a measured decision improves enough to justify the full cost.

01 · Measure today

Record the current quality, latency and cost

Include provider usage, engineering time and the cost of incorrect outcomes.

02 · Test Sparkient

Compare one candidate on the same cases

Count decisions, training, generation, serving, escalation, top-ups and integration effort.

03 · Decide from evidence

Adopt only when the measured result clears the project's threshold

At low volume, ordinary code or a direct LLM may remain cheaper and simpler.

Why now

Coding agents make it easier to add software features, including features that repeat the same bounded decision.

More software

More repeated decisions

The same problem, multiplied

Sparkient is designed for that repeated-decision workload.

Target market

We start with developer-led software businesses already building with coding agents.

Target accounts

Technical solo founders to software teams

Fit depends on the decision, not company or team size.

First users

Technical founders and developers

They can test Sparkient on one decision without a sales call.

Buyers and expansion

Technical founders, CTOs and engineering leads

In solo businesses the developer is the buyer. In teams, technical leadership funds wider use.

Go to market & pricing

Pre-revenue · Testing whether developers pay

We ask developers to paste a free audit prompt into their coding agent.

The audit prompt

Research Sparkient online (start with https://sparkient.ai/llms.txt), inspect this project, and tell me whether Sparkient would be useful.

01

Invite

Developer events, communities and direct outreach

02

Audit

Their coding agent finds repeated rules and live LLM calls

03

Try

They test one decision for free

Entry

$19/month to start

The lowest paid plan.

Expansion

$199-$1,999/month

Higher plans add credits, decision types, edge export and support.

Founder

A technical solo founder who has built, scaled and shipped.
