Build the things most teams can't.
Replace Works (replaceworks.com) is an AI-native studio and consultancy that builds AI products, agents, and automations and helps teams adopt AI, half studio, half consultancy, end-to-end. For operators who already know what they want. Operated by Replace Works OÜ, Tallinn. Not Otto HR. Not a job board. Not a staffing shop.
We don't scale by adding people. We scale by replacing process with software, first our own, then yours. An AI-native team up front, agents handling the meta-work behind them, and two public stacks of the software we actually ship with.
In short
Hire an AI studio when you know the outcome and need it shipped end-to-end, product, agents, evals, infra, by the seniors you meet. Replace Works is that studio. Not extra headcount. Not a deck.
What we believe
- /01
AI is the substrate, not the upsell. Agents and evals are the starting point, not a feature we bolt on at the end.
- /02
Most studios scale by adding people. We scale by adding agents.
- /03
The people you meet build the thing. No junior bench, no handoff, no account managers in between.
- /04
We say no often. Scope stays small on purpose, so the bar stays high.
Who it's for
Operators who already know what they want and need someone who can actually do it.
- /01
Founders
Pre-seed to Series B. You know the next thing to ship and need a senior crew without growing headcount.
- /02
Product teams
Inside a scaling company. You need an AI-native partner to prototype, productize, or replatform a workflow.
- /03
Operator-CEOs
You're evaluating where AI actually moves the needle, and you want a partner that ships, not a consultancy that recommends.
Not for
- Buyers who need a long discovery / strategy phase before any code.
- Anyone shopping primarily on price or headcount.
- Teams that want a junior-led, staff-augmentation model.
How we're structured
Four decisions that shape every project we take on, and every project we don't.
- /01
The people you meet build the thing
No junior bench, no handoff. The senior crew that sells the work also ships it: small enough to stay senior, fluent enough to span design, code, content, and infrastructure.

Agents handle the meta-work
Planning, coordination, reporting, follow-ups: the management layer runs through agents and the same model stack we ship with. Our humans do the work; the agents do the meta-work.

We use what we publish
Every tool in our public Tool Stack and Company Stack is one we use internally. The catalogues aren't curation theatre. They're radical transparency about how we build and run the studio.

Selective by design
Selective about the work. Selective about the headcount. We turn down more work than we take on. We'd rather finish a few projects than scale a roster nobody can stand behind.
Fewer projects, finishednotHeadcount as a KPI
We use our own stack
Two living catalogues, maintained in public: the AI tools we actually ship with, and the software we use to run the studio. Both live on this site, both stay current, both have our receipts on them.
