What we do

Four ways we help you move faster

Pick a starting point. Most clients begin with one service and add another once they see how we work.

Business

AI services & automation

Chat and voice assistants, inbox and intake automation, and internal tools trained on how your business actually runs.

Start a project
Business

Custom software

Web apps, dashboards, and internal systems built around the workflow you already have, not a template you have to work around.

Business & personal

IT & network support

Ongoing monitoring, security patching, and same-week on-site visits when a printer, router, or server needs a human.

Built in-house

Products we make and maintain ourselves

Software we've built for our own clients, now available on their own. Every one of them started as a fix for a real problem someone brought us.

AI · Recruiting

Probeo

AI-generated interview questions and plain-English answer guidance, so recruiters can run a strong technical screen without being technical themselves.

AI · Interview Prep

PrepLoop

Helps technical candidates prepare for interviews, the other side of what Probeo does for recruiters.

How it works

From first call to done, in four steps

1

Tell us what's going on

Fill out the quote form or call directly. Most people hear back the same business day.

2

We scope it together

A short call or site visit to understand the real problem, then a written quote with no surprises.

3

We build or fix it

You get a single point of contact and regular updates, not a ticket number.

4

We stick around

Support and monitoring after launch, so small issues get caught before they're big ones.

CEO / Founder

Started Silicon Prairie Technologies to bring the same AI and software tools larger companies use to businesses down the street, without the overhead or the sales pitch. Still takes service calls himself.

About us

Local, small, and built for the long haul

Silicon Prairie Technologies is a small team based in Raleigh, working with businesses and households across the Triangle. We keep the client list small enough that everyone gets a real person, not a queue.

Whether it’s a first AI assistant, custom software your business has outgrown its spreadsheets for, or a network that needs someone to actually own it, we scope honestly and stick around after launch.
