What we build, by who you are.
Khtain serves five overlapping audiences. Find the one closest to you, see what we've shipped for them, and start from there.
For indie saas founders
Live product, lean stack, growing automation backlog.
You typically have
You typically have a live product with 10-1,000 paying customers, a stack you can mostly maintain alone, a growing list of "I should automate this" items, and limited budget with zero appetite for hiring.
What we ship for you
Customer support agent
RAG over your docs, answers in Slack/Discord
Churn-prediction tool
Reads your Stripe + product analytics, flags at-risk customers
Custom analytics dashboard
Beyond what Stripe + your DB UI gives you
Onboarding personalization
Agent that personalizes onboarding per signup
Internal admin tools
Customer lookup, refund flow, debugging UI
Self-hosted migration
Move off expensive SaaS without breaking workflows
Scenario. Spending hours daily reviewing customer support emails for a small but growing SaaS product.
Outcome. We deployed a Claude-based triage agent that auto-categorizes incoming support, drafts replies, and surfaces only the messages requiring real human attention. Reclaimed most of the founder's morning within the first month.
For crypto operators
Self-hosted everything, sovereign wallet ops, no SaaS in the stack.
You typically have
You typically have a specific role in the ecosystem (validator, contributor, founder, trader, infra runner), strong technical opinions and preferences for self-hosted everything, wallet operational hygiene as a business concern, and an aversion to closed-source SaaS in your stack.
What we ship for you
Smart contract review
Lightweight audit, gas optimization
Validator monitoring
Custom dashboard for node health, slashing risk
On-chain agent
Autonomous agent that reads/responds to chain events
Token-gated tools
Discord bot, web app, or doc system gated by token holdings
Tokenomics review
Engineering review of your model before launch
Custom indexer
The Graph subgraph or custom indexing setup
Wallet ops infrastructure
Multi-sig setup, signing automation, key recovery planning
Scenario. Needed a custom Discord bot gating channel access based on holders of three different tokens across two chains.
Outcome. Built and shipped self-hosted on a Hetzner VPS. Replaces three different gated-access services that had inconsistent behavior.
For content creators
Audience to monetize, tools that don't quite talk to each other.
You typically have
You typically have an audience (newsletter list, YouTube subs, Twitter/X followers, podcast listeners), a monetization mix (sponsorships, products, courses, memberships), tools that don't quite talk to each other, and more content ideas than time to publish.
What we ship for you
Content pipeline agent
Idea capture → research → draft → review handoff
Custom newsletter platform
Self-hosted alternative to Substack/Beehiiv
Sponsorship CRM
Track sponsors, invoices, ad slot inventory
Member portal
Custom membership site with tiered access
Distribution agent
Auto-cross-post (with custom edits) to multiple platforms
Audience analytics
Unified dashboard across YouTube, newsletter, podcast, X
Knowledge base / RAG search
Searchable archive of years of your own content
Scenario. 25K-subscriber newsletter and a podcast, but sponsorship status, content scheduling, and audience metrics lived in five different tools.
Outcome. Built a single dashboard pulling all three together. Replaced four spreadsheets and two SaaS subscriptions; the creator now plans every release cycle from one screen.
For freelance consultants
Time is your only inventory — protect it.
You typically have
You typically have 5-20 clients across the year, knowledge work delivered in documents or recurring meetings, a constant tension between "billable client work" and "improve my own systems", and time being your only inventory.
What we ship for you
Client portal
Custom portal showing each client their deliverables, status, invoices
Proposal generator
Agent that drafts custom proposals from your past work + the brief
Knowledge base RAG
Searchable, queryable archive of your past projects/notes
Time tracking + billing
Custom system tuned to your billing approach
Discovery call agent
AI that runs structured discovery interviews
Custom intake forms + workflow
Replace Typeform + Zapier mess
Scenario. Six years of client deliverables sitting unsearchable across folders. Couldn't reuse past frameworks at the speed of new engagements.
Outcome. Built a custom RAG system. Now "what frameworks have I used for SaaS retention problems" returns relevant past work in seconds. New proposals take half the time.
For solo agencies
One person, multiple clients, agency-grade output.
You typically have
You typically have multiple active client projects running simultaneously, a handful of subcontractors you sometimes use, project management tools that almost work, and dreams of productizing a service to scale.
What we ship for you
Client onboarding agent
Automated onboarding workflow per new client
Productized service backend
Turn a custom service into a recurring product
Subcontractor coordination
Automated brief generation, status tracking
Reporting automation
Monthly client reports auto-generated from data sources
White-label tool builds
Internal tools you can rebrand for clients
Asset management
Custom DAM for client deliverables
Scenario. Burning more than a full work-day every month manually building reports across Search Console, GA4, Ahrefs, and a few proprietary tools.
Outcome. Built a unified reporting backend that auto-generates per-client PDF reports on a regular cadence. Eliminated the recurring monthly chore entirely.

FAQ
Common questions about working with Khtain
I have an idea but no real product yet. Can we still work together?
Yes, but only if you've validated the idea has real demand. We don't build speculative MVPs for ideas that haven't been tested at all — that's a market research problem, not an engineering problem. If you have signups, paying customers, or strong qualitative signal, we can build the next thing.
I'm a non-technical founder. Will I be able to maintain what you ship?
Depends on the project. AI agents and self-hosted infrastructure typically need light technical comfort to operate (running Docker commands, basic git). Custom tools and software with admin UIs are more accessible. We'll honestly assess this in the scoping call and propose either a simpler architecture or an optional retainer.
What if my use case crosses categories?
That's normal. Most engagements span 2-3 of the categories above. The use-case pages are entry points — the actual project is whatever fits your real situation.
Do you work with employed founders building side projects?
Yes, with one caveat: you must own the IP outright with no employer claim. We'll ask about your employer's IP policy before contracting.
My project doesn't fit any of these audiences. What now?
Book a call. The audience pages are common patterns, not exhaustive. If your project has the right shape (single operator, real need, well-scoped), we likely can help.

The hardest part is the first conversation. After that, scoping is straightforward.
