What we build

Real systems, shipped.

AIS exists to build. Projects start as a scoped business problem, get a coherent design, and end as something people actually use, often running on the society's own infrastructure.

Cookie Clicker

A self-hosted, save-syncing build of Orteil's classic, with a live society leaderboard.

Live @baylor.edu

Our first public project runs entirely on the society's infrastructure. A single Bun + Hono process serves Orteil's offline game as static files and adds a small API for per-user, server-side save sync plus a leaderboard. The injected client shim pushes your save (and extracted stats) on every game-save and pulls the server's copy on load; a sidebar shows the top ten and your rank across cookies baked, CpS, and buildings. Cloudflare Access gates the whole thing with a one-time PIN to any @baylor.edu address.

It's deliberately small, a complete, shipped system that proves out the stack: containerized service, tunnel ingress, identity-gated access, and a real database. The pattern it establishes is the same one bigger projects will follow.

The lifecycle

How a project comes together.

Each step maps to a pillar, so the handoffs are clean and the work compounds instead of reinventing itself.

Scope

AI Strategy frames a real business problem into a use case worth building and validates it's worth the team's time.

Design

AI Architecture sets the approach (tools, systems, and patterns) so the build stays coherent and reusable across projects.

Build

AI Engineering implements: code, APIs, deployments, and standards. Members pair in and level up as the system takes shape.

Ship & show

The system goes live on society infrastructure and gets demoed at meetings, to partners, and at the end-of-semester showcase.

The kinds of work

What members build.

Internal tools

Systems that make the society itself run better: automations, dashboards, and the infrastructure projects depend on.

Client & consulting

Scoped AI problems brought in by partner companies: real stakes, real users, real feedback.

In the pipeline

Member ventures

Members build their own products on the society's stack: startups, portfolios, and side projects with room to grow.

Learning projects

Foundation Series builds where new members ship something small end-to-end and learn the whole pipeline.

More projects are in progress and will be showcased here as they ship. Have an idea? Members and partners can propose one anytime.

Whether you're a member with a concept or a company with a problem, AIS turns ideas into working systems.
