Unlocking Tech

Unlocking Tech is a senior-only engineering team based in Portugal. We build AI products, custom software, and workflow automation for founders, product-led companies, and SMEs — and we ship the first version in about 9 weeks, not quarters.

Three ways teams work with us:

AI product engineering. We design and build AI-powered software end to end — web apps, AI systems, and enterprise software — with the current model stack and a production bar from day one.

Embedded engineering teams. When you need senior capacity fast, we place engineers into your team from Portugal (CET, aligned hours). Right-On-Skill had a Tech Lead and a Frontend Developer integrated in two weeks, with zero rejected CVs.

Workflow automation and AI agents. We rebuild repetitive back-office work as agents wired to your CRM, ERP, and inbox. Across shipped agents we've averaged a 78% task-time reduction, measured against the manual baseline we capture before building — not a vague efficiency number. OmniTrade's lead-qualification agent processes 1,200 files a month autonomously; Grupo Filtrarte runs two agents in production across HubSpot, WhatsApp, and email.

We work project-based, scope-first, with a short engineer-led diagnostic before we commit. The people who scope the work are the people who ship it — no offshore ticket factory, no junior bench.

or Portuguese SMEs, we also package this as vertical AI solutions — healthcare, real estate, and financial services — starting from an assessment rather than a fixed spec.
