We’ll be at WebExpo 2027 in Prague — the Czech conference for people who make the web. Come and talk sovereign architecture, EU-resident AI and production agents with the people who build them.

Daily AI snack 11 Sept Open-weight models are now "good enough" for enterprise workloads The NYT reports large enterprises are shifting production workloads to open-weight models, squeezing the pricing power of frontier API vendors. If you're pricing agent features on Claude or GPT API costs, this is the moment to model an open-weight fallback into your architecture. picked by Mia aiweekly.co Read the issue →
[ 01 ] — Services

What we do.

We build, modernise, and migrate B2B software — from greenfield products through cloud architecture and EU sovereignty migrations to production AI agents.

[ 01 ]

Software Development

Greenfield product engineering for B2B SaaS — from concept to first paying customer. And modernisation of legacy systems: replatformed, refactored, restored to shipping velocity.

[ 02 ]

Cloud Architecture

Greenfield cloud architecture and first-time migrations into the cloud. Reference designs on AWS and Cloudflare — sized for cost, instrumented for observability, with a clean blast radius from day one.

[ 03 ]

Go Europe

Migration off non-EU hyperscalers onto European providers like Scaleway. The same workloads, replatformed for jurisdictional clarity, European data residency, and a clean regulatory footprint.

[ 04 ]

Agentic Web

Production-grade B2B agents engineered for clients. Tool-use, retrieval, evals, and orchestration designed around cost, latency, and provable behaviour — built to ship to real customers.

[ 02 ] — Products

Built for our own work. Then for clients.

Four products, each one something we needed and could not buy from a European vendor. Two of them are running on this page while you read it.

The banner you answered

TEKKNA Consent.

Cookie banner, automatic blocker and daily scanner in one, holding every third-party tag back until the visitor decides. Google Consent Mode v2, and a “Reject” that cannot be configured away.

Watching this page

PingPong.

Uptime checks from Cloudflare’s edge, as often as every minute. Incidents open and close themselves, and the status page says what actually happened rather than showing a permanently green tick.

ReachOut.

Our own mailing tool. Lists, double opt-in and one-click unsubscribe, sending from our own infrastructure — no third-party mailer holding the addresses, and no key to leak.

Private beta

Atheena.

Customer feedback read against a live picture of your codebase — architecture, conventions, open tickets — then drafted into a ticket engineering can pick up.

[ 04 ] — The team that never sleeps

Six agents. They run the company with us.

Not chatbots bolted onto a product. Each one owns a part of the business, works while nobody is watching, and answers for what it did. This page was picked, written and published by one of them this morning.

Max Cashmann

Chief Financial Officer

Reads the books every night, drafts the invoices for work that has been done, and files what arrives. He will not invent a figure: asked something he cannot source, he says so.

Clara Flow

Chief Operating Officer

Watches delivery — what is finished, what is stuck, what is still up. She works out how long work actually took from the ticket and its comments, because elapsed time is not effort.

Mia Brandt

Chief Marketing Officer

Reads the AI news every night, picks the one thing worth your two minutes, and writes it up. The snack at the top of this page is hers, comic included.

Kurt Retention

Chief Data Privacy Officer

Watches consent across every site we run it on: what visitors actually agreed to, which cookies appeared without asking, and which of those is a problem rather than tidying-up.

Leo Canvas

Art Director

Draws. Mia commissions a picture for the day’s note and Leo makes it — in code, not from an image model, so it is ours and it is the same house style every time.

Tekkno

Daily check-ins

Asks the team what they are doing each morning, nudges the ones who forget, and writes the Friday summary. The only one who talks to everybody every day.

Every one of them refuses more than it answers — no figures in the wrong room, no client detail, nothing it was not explicitly given. That is the part that took the longest. See how they work together →

[ 05 ] — Good to know

Short notes from the team.

MCP, EU cloud migration, agentic AI in production, and how modern engineering teams actually ship. Written by the people doing the work.

MCP, explained: what it is, what it’s for, and where it actually pays off.

The Model Context Protocol is the unglamorous plumbing that turns a chat window into a coworker. A short, practical tour of what MCP is, what it’s used for, and where it earns its keep.

Why moving to EU cloud makes sense in 2026.

Schrems II didn’t get repealed. The CLOUD Act didn’t get rescinded. And procurement teams in the EU are starting to act on it — quietly, then suddenly.

Agentic AI in production: where the leverage actually is.

Most agentic AI demos break the second they meet a real workflow. The difference between a demo and a production system is mostly retrieval, evals, and the boring loop around the model.

Modern software development is operating-model engineering.

Engineering velocity isn’t an IDE problem or a language problem. It’s an operating-model problem — how teams structure feedback loops, ship cadence, and the cost of a bad commit.

Founded on a Thursday: why we started TEKKNA.

We registered TEKKNA on 1 January 2026. The date was a logistics choice, not a symbol — but the idea behind the company had been waiting much longer.
