AI and software development in Cheltenham
Augustova builds custom AI systems, websites, web and mobile applications and business automations for companies in Cheltenham and across Gloucestershire. Fixed price, agreed against a written scope, typically two to four weeks to a working system. We run our own software in production, so the work is done by the people who carry it.
Working in Cheltenham
Cheltenham has become a cyber security centre of national significance, with a technology and professional services economy around it and a well known events and hospitality trade. Firms here work to security expectations that most towns of this size never encounter.
Cheltenham has become a cyber security centre of national importance, and around it sits a technology and professional services economy plus a well known events and hospitality trade. The security concentration changes the buying conversation: clients here know what good access control and audit logging look like and will ask about both before they ask about features.
In a town where the customers know security properly, a system that cannot show its access controls and audit trail does not get bought at all.

What we build for Cheltenham businesses
What Cheltenham businesses keep asking us to fix
Buyers who know security properly
A system that cannot demonstrate its access controls and audit trail does not get bought here at all, regardless of how well it performs.
Small firms with enterprise obligations
Security and technology suppliers are audited by customers far larger than themselves, and answering that ad hoc consumes senior time.
Event driven demand
Hospitality and events businesses see demand concentrate into a handful of weeks, and processes built for an average month fail during them.
Questions from Cheltenham businesses
Our clients audit our security. Can you build to that standard?
On the engineering side yes: access control, audit trails, retention rules, documented data handling and a written security position, designed into the first phase rather than added later. We are registered with the Information Commissioner under ZC152144.
How do you handle explainability?
By designing for it. Where an output influences a decision that will be reviewed, the system records the inputs, the model and the reasoning path so the working can be shown. If a problem cannot be made explainable, that is a reason to solve it with ordinary software instead.
