Floransa builds working AI for ordinary businesses — a Shopify agent that rewrites a catalogue without inventing a word of it, advertising that outran the firm paying for it, a grant finder for people with no time to look. All of it running, none of it a demonstration.
published product pages under management, rewritten and audited in place
misplaced headings cleared in a single day, every change read back from the live shop
enquiries a week at APC Pest Control after the advertising was rebuilt
applicants to the same pest control advert, each of the three times it has run this year
test files that must pass before a release can deploy — a failure keeps the old version live
Figures as at 22 September 2026. The before-and-after pairs are finished work and do not change; the counts move as the catalogue and the code do.
The first thing the company built, and still the one it is judged by. You tell it what you want in plain English. It writes a plan, shows you the plan, and only changes anything when you say so.
Nothing else in this category will tell you where a figure came from. Floransa will. A specification comes from the manufacturer's own site or it is left out, and a guard compares the finished page against that source before anything is written back to the shop.
Every change is read back from Shopify after it is made, so "done" means the live page was checked — not that the request was sent. When a source blocks the crawler, it says so and asks for the specification to be pasted in rather than guessing.
It handles product pages, collection and brand pages, blog posts, internal links, image alt text and the SEO fields, and it keeps a record of what it changed on each one. It also reads the shop's own Google data, so the words it chooses answer searches people are really making.
1,080 pages carried at least one of these faults. None of them needs a language model to fix, so the sweep that repairs them does not use one and costs nothing to run — 752 pages written in a day, every one read back from the live shop afterwards. The shop's health score went from 78 to 85.
An agent that keeps working needs to learn from its own mistakes. An agent that marks its own homework is worthless. The difference between those two is the whole design.
Retrying a dropped connection, pausing when credits run out, parking a page that keeps failing, telling the shopkeeper when a manufacturer's site blocks it. No code changes, no judgement calls.
Built
Today this is one thing: the writer's lessons. It counts which faults keep surviving its own publishing, feeds the worst of them into the next rewrite, and drops a lesson when that fault rate falls. What it cannot yet do is prove a lesson helped rather than hurt — that comparison, and the automatic revert that depends on it, is the next piece of work.
Built for the writer; the measurement is not
The design is settled and the build comes last: an agent that takes an open fault and prepares a fix on a branch, with a test that fails before it and passes after, and the evidence for why it was needed. A person reads all three and approves. Nothing merges itself and nothing deploys itself.
Designed, not built — and never automatic when it is
An agent that can edit code can edit the tests that judge it. So it never touches the rules, the guard, the tests or the harness.
This is the part most catalogue tools do not have. Perfect product copy written with no idea what anyone searched for is a guess in good handwriting — so Floransa connects to the shop's own Google account and stops guessing.
A shopkeeper signs in with Google and picks their property from a list — no measurement IDs to hunt down, nothing chosen for them, and the save button stays off until they make a deliberate choice. Analytics 4 supplies the traffic and what it does when it lands. Search Console supplies the thing nothing else can: the words people typed before they arrived, and the ones they typed and left.
That changes the work rather than decorating it. A page can be rewritten around the phrase that is already bringing people to it; a product sitting at the bottom of page one can be found and fixed; a brand nobody searches for stops getting effort it will not repay.
The rule that governs it is the one that governs the writing. Code fetches the figures, the model only explains them. It never estimates a number it could have looked up.
Read-only, and chosen over a service account so any shop can connect its own account without needing an administrator. Floransa can see these numbers and the email address of the account that signed in; it can change nothing in the Google account, and it has no access to Gmail, Drive or ads. Tokens are encrypted where they are stored.
APC Pest Control in Norfolk came in at roughly ten calls and emails a week. Rebuilt search advertising took that past fifty on average. A booked job is worth at least £115 to them — not every enquiry becomes one, which is why the two figures are kept apart.
The extra work funded three new pest controller appointments and the firm's expansion into Suffolk. The campaigns are now switched off over Christmas and New Year, and for a few weeks each summer, so the team can catch up. That is the honest measure of it: advertising paused because the business could not keep up with it.
Which created the next problem. Three appointments meant hiring pest controllers in a county where everyone is hiring, so that job got an agent too — one that researches Indeed, and a second that compares what pest control roles elsewhere are actually offering, so the advert is written against the real market rather than against a guess.
The same advert has run three times in the past year. Each time it has brought in more than sixty applicants.
A community group in Hethersett needed grant funding for its net zero plan. Volunteers do not have days to spend reading funders' websites, and the good money is never in the obvious place.
The interesting part is how the search works. It does not ask one question and hand back a list. It hunts in five themed passes, each with its own territory — lottery and public money; energy and climate; nature and wildlife; Norfolk's own funds, including the money that comes ashore with the offshore wind farms and what developers owe under planning agreements; and the big trusts and corporate giving. The volunteers tick which passes are worth running for what they are trying to do.
Then a sixth pass runs, every time, whatever they ticked. It goes back over the strongest leads and checks them again — because a fund that looked open an hour ago may have closed, and a deadline read once is a deadline read wrong. Nothing reaches the volunteers without being looked at twice.
It also refuses to repeat itself: a full search runs once a month at most, and asking the same question twice inside thirty days is recognised and stopped rather than billed for.
Roughly a tenth of the cost, for results the volunteers could not tell apart. A grant finder that costs more than a small grant is worth nothing to a group like this, so the engineering was the point.
A trade association with seven member guides, a blog that had gone quiet, and nobody with a spare day a month. Two different problems, and only one of them needs a language model.
The site itself is built from source rather than edited page by page. The guides, the index, the navigation and the downloads all regenerate from one set of files, so correcting something once corrects it everywhere and the seven guides cannot drift out of step with each other. There is no AI anywhere in that — it is ordinary, deterministic code, and that is exactly why it can be trusted to run unattended.
The writing is the part that needed help. A drafting tool reads the month's published guide, looks at how the previous post ended, and drafts the next one so the series reads as one programme rather than seven unrelated articles. It takes no shortcuts with the facts: no web search, no tools, nothing but the guide in front of it.
Then it stops. The draft lands in a folder for a person to read and edit, and the association publishes it under its own name. A machine that posts to a members' website without anyone reading it first is not a feature, it is a liability.
One a month is the intended cadence, not a schedule anything enforces. The honest limit of this kind of tool is that it removes the blank page, not the editor.
Both of these are at the design stage. Nothing below is running yet, and this page will say so when it is.
Most profile advice is generic because the person giving it has not looked at what anyone else in your field is doing. These agents look first, and they work in an order that puts a review before anything is written.
One agent reads the client's own writing for tone and works out what business they are actually in — which is often narrower than their job title. A second looks at how people in that field write: what they post about, how they sound, and which kind of message earns a reply rather than a scroll.
The client's profile set beside others doing the same work, locally and nationally — from their own connections or found deliberately. Not just the headline: the skills listed, the advice given, what has changed on those profiles over time and where this one is thinner. It ends on the question that decides everything else — what sets this person apart from everyone else with the same job title.
Every claim and every proposed change checked against its source by a separate reviewing agent that did not write any of it. Nothing that has not been through this gate goes any further. It is the same rule that governs the Shopify work: the thing being judged never owns the judge.
A complete rewrite, delivered as a difference rather than a fait accompli: each change beside what was there before, and the weakness it answers. The client approves it. Nothing is posted to their account on their behalf without that.
Posts drafted in the voice learned at stage one — achievements worth reporting, what is happening in the industry, ordinary updates. Alongside it, who is doing what: who in the field has moved, been promoted, or started hiring, which is both useful to know and the honest reason to post something.
The CV read against live roles in the same industry — phrasing and tone against how those adverts are written, skills and qualifications against what they ask for, and the gap named plainly. The same agents that found what sets this person apart now have somewhere to put it.
Built on the client's own LinkedIn export and what they choose to supply, plus the public web. No scraping, and no risk to anyone's account.
Nothing is invented. A specification comes from the manufacturer, or the page goes out without it. A guard compares the finished text to the source before it is published.
Every write is read back. The shop is queried after the change, and the result is what gets reported. A request that was sent is not a job that was done.
The test suite is the gate. 58 test files run on every deploy. If one fails, the build fails and the version already running stays live.
No component reports on itself. The thing being judged never owns the judge — not the rules, not the guard, not the tests.
A person approves the code. The agent can propose a change to itself, with the test and the evidence. It cannot merge it and it cannot deploy it.
The Shopify app is not on the App Store yet — it runs on one catalogue, every day, and the first shops outside that one are being lined up now. If you run a specialist catalogue, or you want advertising that has to pay for itself, or something like this built inside your own business, an email is the quickest way in.
