Making flexible and adaptive software you can rely on
Kacti AI is a research and development company. We build systems that fit how your business runs, stay correct as it changes, and adapt without breaking what already works.
Built by a founder who's lived inside the problem
Andres Martinez spent 15 years at Microsoft as a Principal Architect on the VP/CTO team, building and architecting large-scale AI and enterprise systems. He holds multiple patents in enterprise systems, including synthetic data generation, async processing frameworks, and dynamic query optimization.
He founded Kacti AI to close a gap he kept seeing across enterprise systems. Software is either built once for everyone and never quite fits, or built ad-hoc by AI and never quite right. Kacti AI is the third path. Software that builds itself around how each business works, kept valid by a model of the domain. That work produced new methods: how to develop the model, how to project a fitted version from it, and a disciplined build cycle that bounds what the embedded AI builder can do.
He started building at 16, founding a leading online platform for track and field athletes in Mexico. Former national champion in the 400m.
Our Purpose
Software behavior should come from an explicit model of the domain, not improvised from a prompt and not frozen into a one-size product. Get the meaning right first, and correct software follows.
Our core commitment is self-construction inside a model. A semantic model defines what can validly exist in a domain. Each business's deployment is a projection of that model: one valid, fitted slice. An embedded AI builder extends the projection from within, and the platform is designed so each change is checked against the model before it lands. Adaptation without giving up correctness.
Our Principles
Clarity Above All
Decisions, systems, and communication should be transparent and easy to understand, from how we design software to how we work with partners and customers.
Correctness Earns Trust
We hold ourselves to a standard where our work must be dependable and efficient. Trust is something we earn through consistent execution and honest systems.
Embrace Creative Thinking
Building what comes next requires imagination, curiosity, and the courage to challenge established assumptions. Building a new foundation for software that constructs itself demands original thinking, not refinement of what already exists.
