Our Three Domains.
Hyena Industries works across strategy, research, and build. Most engagements pull in more than one. Clients come to us for a clear view of AI and often leave with the systems, governance, and a clear plan into this new frontier.
We help leadership teams work out where AI genuinely belongs inside their business. Most companies don’t need another chatbot. They need someone honesty in the room when the decisions get made.
A typical engagement starts with an internal audit. Which workflows are expensive, repetitive, or error-prone enough that they justify an AI system? Which would be better served by simpler automation, better tooling, or no change at all? We bring a vendor-neutral view and we’re happy to recommend against AI when it isn’t the right answer.
From there we work with you on vendor selection, cost modelling (including the line items that don’t appear on the demo), and a governance framework that holds up after the launch meeting. The deliverable is a roadmap your team can defend.
Who it’s for
Companies between 20 and 2,000 people weighing a first serious AI investment, or correcting one that didn’t land.
Engagement
Discovery workshops, a written assessment, and ongoing advisory. Typically 4 to 12 weeks.
Original work on the model and system layer. Memory architectures, agentic tool loops, multi-expert orchestration, local inference on modest hardware, and the embodied AI platforms that tie it all together.
Some of this research lives as in-house products. Some of it backs up client engagements where an off-the-shelf approach won’t do the job. Either way, it keeps the consultancy honest: when we recommend a particular approach, it’s usually because we’ve built it ourselves first.
Our focus is on systems that run on accessible hardware, treat privacy as a default and stay inspectable end to end. The research outputs feed both the open ecosystem and the client work we take on.
Active threads
Local-first LLM systems, agentic tooling, multi-agent orchestration, and original work on memory architectures.
Collaboration
Research partnerships, sponsored R&D, or bespoke work layered on top of an existing client engagement.
A custom company website built from scratch. Often layered on top of an AI engagement, sometimes as a standalone project for businesses that have outgrown the templated agency option.
Designed and built end to end: positioning, information architecture, design system, and engineering. We don’t do placeholder copy or stock illustrations. The output is a site that reads like the business it represents, built to be maintained for years rather than rebuilt in eighteen months.
Where it fits, the build dovetails with the AI work: a surface for an internal tool, an embedded research hub, a customer-facing product. Where it doesn’t fit, we’ll say so.
Who it’s for
Consultancies, research groups, and product companies whose current website is undershooting the work behind it.
Stack
Next.js, TypeScript, and a custom design system. Hand-built, not page-builder.
How we work
A small studio. Direct contact throughout.
- Step 01
Conversation
A no-fee call or meeting to understand what you’re actually trying to do. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll say so.
- Step 02
Scoped proposal
A short written proposal. What we’d do, what we deliberately wouldn’t, the timeline, and a flat or capped fee. No padded hours.
- Step 03
The work
Direct contact with the people doing the work, weekly written updates, and a written hand-off at the end. We run a small roster on purpose.
- Step 04
Afterwards
We’re still around. Most clients come back for the next piece of work and the people who pick up the phone are the same people who did the build.
Want to talk it through?
The first meeting is free and the worst case is you leave with a clearer picture of the problem.
