Software we built — and use ourselves.

Products from the Player Piano workshop and the wider Ayres Capital portfolio. Each one earns its keep running our own business before we offer it to yours.

Maestro

The CRM that writes, sends, and answers — under your brand.

AI drafts your email replies from your own knowledge base — queued for one-click approval, never auto-sent.
Describe an issue in a sentence; get a finished, on-brand newsletter you can send and track.
CRM, bookings, and campaigns in one place — with CASL compliance built into the architecture.
Installed, branded, and tuned for you. You own your data and your audience.
Founding clients

Empire OS

Run your empire with agents you can trust.

The command centre Andrew built to run this whole portfolio — AI agents that do real work in your real files.
Every change is checkpointed and revertible — the worst case is a one-click undo.
Native macOS and local-first: your files and keys stay on your machine, with no token markup.
A morning briefing, scheduled agents, and a live audit trail of every move they make.
Early access

Neither product is a self-serve sign-up. We install each one, brand it, and tune it for you — the way we run them ourselves.
