— The Work of Gentlecodes — Built in Prague · On our word
Chapter I — The Word
Chapter II — The Trade
Three disciplines,
one table.
We practise three trades. Two under our own roof; the third — artificial intelligence — under our sister’s, so that each is done by people who do nothing else.
Trade the First · by Everquest
Artificial Intelligence, entrusted to Everquest.
We do not deploy AI.
We seat it at the table.
Every AI engagement we take on is carried out by Everquest — our sister company, and the house where that expertise lives.
- AI in your applications
- AI in company processes
- Agents · Copilots · RAG
- AI products, built from scratch
Trade the Second
Expertise that sets things straight.
Senior engineers who help you straighten what has grown crooked and improve what already works. We begin by listening — to your systems, your team, your plans — and only then propose the work: an analysis, an audit, advice, or the engineering itself. We measure ourselves by how you grow — not by the hours we bill.
- Needs analysis
- System audit · Second opinion
- Architecture · Technical advice
- Technical leadership
Trade the Third
Platforms that hold their shape.
Portals, instruments, platforms — from the first commit to the last handover. Documentation and a runbook are not bonuses; they are what it means to have finished.
- React · Next · TypeScript
- Java · .NET · Node
- MS Power Platform
- Azure · AWS · Kubernetes
Chapter III — Imagine
Page 12 · A question to the reader
Imagine a brief
that is kept.
— How would the work feel, were every word held to.
t would feel, at first, quieter. Fewer declarations, fewer slogans about speed. Instead: a sentence that meant what it said, and the work that proved it. A figure named on the page, and the same figure that answered when you wrote.
There would be a ledger. Real engineers, real years — no names that never turn up. The senior would be senior. The architect, the hand that actually drew. The brief would be answered on the day it was given, and the answer would be true.
And when the work was done, there would be documentation, a runbook, a second opinion offered before it was asked for. Not because the contract required it — because the craft did.
This is what we mean by on our word.

Chapter IV — A Long Engagement
Client · Drivvn Ltd. · Since MMXVIII
Drivvn,
from the inside.
Drivvn builds and runs the commerce platform on which car makers, leasing and mobility providers, and retailers sell vehicles online — from the first configuration to the closed deal.
We have sat at their table since 2018. We have watched the platform grow from its early modules into the infrastructure that manufacturers and retailers run their online sales on — and we have helped build it, release by release.
Our senior engineers hold key roles in the work on the platform. The platform, its direction and the responsibility for it remain Drivvn’s own — what we bring is experience, care and continuity in the work entrusted to us.
Visit drivvn.comCar makers entrust their online sales to the Drivvn platform. Trust like that is earned in the details — and the details are where we like to work.

Chapter V
A new
discipline.
For a century we spoke of user experience. For a moment now, we must learn to speak of another kind.
— Folio XXV · recto —
A discipline practised at Everquest.
AIX—
def. The manners by which an intelligence conducts itself at the table: what it knows before it answers, how it earns trust, where it holds back, and how it takes correction. A discipline of courtesies, not capabilities.
- i. Context. — it knows what it is answering before it answers.
- ii. Trust. — measured, legible, its working shown.
- iii. Discretion. — it acts within the seat it is given, and returns it.
- iv. Feedback. — it listens to correction, and is better for it.
— the four manners of a good counterpart.

Everquest
Our sister company · All AI work, without exception
Our AI practice grew until it needed a house of its own. Everquest is that house — our sister house, a separate company, and the only place our AI work is done. It works for us, and for clients of its own.
Gentlecodes —
platforms, analyses, audits, and senior engineers who help your systems — and your business — grow. When the work calls for AI, we bring Everquest to the table.
Everquest —
every AI engagement, without exception: AI in your applications and processes, agents and copilots, and AI products built from the first line.
Makers of MetaHub — one workspace for the whole company.
Same standards. Same word. One brief, two desks.

Careers · Positions open at present
Seats at the table.
We hire seldom, and deliberately. Every seat below is senior, real, and open today — write to us and a person will write back.
- No seats are open at present. Write to us regardless — we keep good letters.
No seat for you here? Write anyway — an open letter is always read.
Colophon — A Correspondence

Write,
and we will write back.
A note in plain sentences is enough. A brief in two paragraphs is plenty. A handshake by post arrives by Friday.
