testimonials
What clients say
We've recently completed Phase 1 of a bespoke business valuation tool with James at Code23, and I've been extremely impressed. He has taken the time to understand both the commercial and technical requirements, communicated clearly throughout, and delivered a well-thought-out system with a high level of flexibility. The admin dashboard, in particular, gives us full control over the scoring and valuation logic, which was a key requirement. I'm looking forward to working with James on Phase 2 and would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone looking for bespoke software development – Jason Atkins, Director, Lansley Commercial

I have worked with Code23 and their team for over 5 years across 3 different projects ranging from mobile app development to custom WordPress websites. Together the team bring a level of expertise and professionalism I have not seen anywhere else... The results achieved have really helped to grow our business. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a custom project to be completed on time and in budget.

We have been working with James and the team at Code 23 for about 18 months now on a lengthy and sometimes complicated app development. At all times we have found Code 23 to be calm, competent, and their advice has been invaluable. The app is now live and we are extremely pleased with the results and are happy to continue our relationship with Code 23 for enhancements and hosting. We would be pleased to recommend Code 23.

Can't recommend these guys enough... really great service with expert advice. The technology they managed to integrate into our self service kiosk was outstanding and went the extra mile to make sure everything was as we wanted. Great job guys, i'll be engaging with Code23 for any future upgrades and add ons required TAN

It has truly been a fantastic experience working with the Code23 team. Every part of the process from the scoping and onboarding down to the design and implementation of our website was handled excellently. The quality of service delivered by the team is globally top standard and I couldn't be more satisfied with the final outcome.

The results of Code23’s hard work, professional approach, and ability to work together with us to create our vision, has resulted in an end product that we couldn’t be happier with. They have provided us with a fully rounded service, including plenty of support, advice, and guidance for the future too. We are all very excited to welcome our customers back to our wonderful new e-learning platform.

faq
Questions about AI Development
What are the top AI development companies in the UK?
Judge on shipped production work, public reviews and whether seniors stay on the build. We are Reading-based, with 60+ five-star Google reviews and 350+ projects behind the AI practice.
How much does AI development cost?
Scope sets the number: workflows, data readiness, integrations and eval strictness. Blueprint defines the first release and we confirm current pricing against that agreed scope before Build begins.
How long does an AI project take?
Most first production releases run Map through Launch on a Blueprint timeline. Thin slices ship earlier; Harden and staged rollout protect go-live. Agents compress build; data readiness usually sets the critical path.
Do you build custom AI agents or only wrap ChatGPT?
Custom agents with tools, policies and evals. Commercial models stay in the mix where they fit - seniors design the system, agents execute the bulk.
Can you add AI into an existing product?
Yes. We retrofit agents, search and automation onto live stacks when the workflow and data support it. Greenfield is optional.
How do humans stay in control when agents ship at 5x speed?
Seniors set the brief, own architecture and hold the eval bar. Agents run under policies, harnesses and kill-switches - speed without that gate is not a release we ship.
