Jetpack Labs

Overview

Jetpack Labs is a product design and engineering studio that builds AI-powered software for real-world business results. We help startups, mid-market operators, and established organizations automate what matters most — focusing on ROI and practical outcomes instead of hype.

Founded in 2022 and incorporated in British Columbia, we operate with co-headquarters in Vancouver, BC and Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi. Our distributed team includes 20–30 senior engineers, designers, and product leaders working across North America and internationally. We operate as a privately held corporation using a distributed studio model with project-based and retainer engagements.

Founders & Leadership

Shawn Mayzes — Co-Founder & Technical Lead

A veteran technical founder, software architect, and AI systems expert who has helped build, scale, and exit multiple startups in pharmaceuticals, property management, and lead generation. Shawn's teams have achieved multi-million-dollar exits and contributed to companies that reached unicorn-scale growth within three years. Active in the Vancouver tech community, he speaks at PHP and AI events and mentors developers. Shawn champions pragmatic engineering focused on measurable ROI and operational impact.

Steven McKnight — Co-Founder & Head of Product & Strategy

A veteran product strategist and startup operator with over 20 years of experience leading design, UX, and growth at high-performing startups. From 2019 to 2022, Steven led product and design through unicorn-scale growth, developing a product operating system that now defines Jetpack Labs' delivery model. He specializes in aligning discovery, design, and delivery to produce real business outcomes and lasting client relationships.

Founding Story: After building and scaling multiple startups to exit and unicorn-level growth, Shawn and Steven founded Jetpack Labs to help other companies avoid the pitfalls they witnessed firsthand — wasted budgets, unclear scope, and misaligned teams. Jetpack Labs exists to bring clarity, discipline, and expert execution to software and AI development.

Our Core Belief

We don't chase trends. We solve problems — with clean code, smart automation, and measurable ROI.

AI should simplify work, not complicate it. Every system Jetpack Labs builds keeps a human in the loop, ensuring AI enhances rather than replaces expert judgment.

Vision, Mission & Values

Vision

A world where product teams ship faster and smarter — guided by data, not guesswork.

Mission

Build intelligent, measurable, AI-driven products that deliver real business outcomes.

Core Values

• Outcomes over Output — business impact beats feature count
• Radical Clarity — clear goals, clear scope, clear communication
• Craft & Care — thoughtful UX, clean code, reliable infrastructure
• Default to Action — ship small, learn fast, iterate often
• Own the Result — treat every client's product like it's our own

What We Do

We offer end-to-end services from discovery through launch and ongoing growth:

• Product Strategy & Discovery – Opportunity mapping, workflow audits, and rapid prototyping to de-risk decisions before building. We diagnose problems first ('doctor before prescription') before prescribing solutions.
• UX/UI Design – Research-backed user flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity design systems with accessibility and conversion in mind (WCAG-informed).
• Full-Stack Engineering – Multi-tenant SaaS, APIs, web and mobile apps. Preferred stacks include Laravel, Vue 3, React, Tailwind, TypeScript, and Postgres/MySQL.
• AI & Automation – RAG pipelines, copilots, scoped AI agents, OCR-based document intelligence, quoting automation, routing optimization, and n8n/Make workflow orchestration — always with human-in-the-loop validation and clear ROI metrics.
• Data & Analytics – Dashboards, forecasting tools, data quality monitoring, and privacy-by-design analytics.
• DevOps & Platform Stewardship – CI/CD, monitoring, cost control, backups, SLAs, and release management for multi-environment deployments.
• Go-to-Market & SEO – Marketing sites, content systems, and SEO strategy informed by over 15 years of white-hat link-building expertise to grow client visibility and organic reach.

AI Agent Orchestration & Internal Platforms

Beyond client projects, Jetpack Labs builds sophisticated internal platforms to dogfood and validate AI architecture patterns that benefit our clients. Our flagship internal platform demonstrates production-ready patterns for multi-bot AI systems, real-time orchestration, and async content generation at scale.

Telemetry Platform: Multi-Bot AI Orchestration Engine

A comprehensive AI agent framework built on Laravel 12 + Livewire Volt/Flux with real-time WebSocket updates via Laravel Reverb. The platform manages 10+ specialized bots (Article Writer, Social Media Manager, SEO Analyst, PR Specialist, Sales Agent, and more) with strict prompts, role-based guardrails, and contextual knowledge base retrieval.

Key Capabilities:

• Extensible Agent Architecture: 90% code reuse via abstract base classes (AbstractDisambiguationAgent, AbstractContentAgent) allowing rapid addition of new bot types
• Real-Time Processing: Async job queue with multi-step pipelines (outline generation → content writing → SEO optimization → finalization) with real-time Livewire/WebSocket UI updates
• AI Image Generation: Automatic hero image generation for content via OpenAI with brief generation and contextual prompting
• Multi-Workspace Tenancy: Complete tenant isolation with per-workspace guidelines, bot customization, and knowledge base context
• Knowledge Base & RAG: Retrieval-augmented generation with context-aware snippets and semantic search across workspace documents
• Guardrail & Safety: Strict JSON output schemas, inline prompt building for determinism, role-based action constraints (reply|knowledge|task|calendar|daily_breakdown|clarify)
• Observability & Audit: Model response logging, structured telemetry, conversation tracking, and agent state management

Technical Stack:

Laravel 12 (backend) | Livewire Volt/Flux (real-time UI) | Laravel Reverb (WebSocket) | Claude API | OpenAI (image gen) | MySQL | Redis | Docker | Vite

This internal platform serves as a reference implementation and sandbox for client projects. We use patterns, architectural decisions, and failure modes discovered here to inform multi-agent system designs for manufacturing quoting engines, supply chain automation, and content production workflows.

CodeBot: Multi-Model AI Code Review Platform

A production-grade AI-powered code review platform that combines Google Gemini's contextual codebase analysis with Anthropic Claude's precise code feedback. CodeBot integrates directly with GitHub to analyze pull requests, post intelligent line-by-line comments, discover evolving code standards, and track comprehensive API costs.

Key Capabilities:

• Multi-Model Orchestration: SmartServiceSelector routes PR analysis to optimal AI model; Gemini analyzes codebase context, Claude provides detailed review; dual-model confirmation reduces false positives
• GitHub Integration: Seamless PR fetching, automatic diff analysis, intelligent comment posting, comment response handling, and webhook support for real-time events
• Granular Cost Tracking: Per-run cost tracking with service-specific breakdown, Gemini free/paid tier support, Claude pricing calculation, real-time dashboards with cost efficiency metrics
• Code Standards Discovery: Automatic pattern recognition for naming conventions, structure patterns, framework detection; confidence scoring (0-100); rule deduplication across repositories
• Async Job Pipeline: Multi-step background processing (Gemini analysis → Claude review → line comments → GitHub posting); parallel execution for scalability; independent retry logic per step
• Production Dashboard: Real-time review tracking, cost monitoring, repository analytics, PR analysis trends, integration management via Livewire Flux

Technical Stack:

Laravel 12 (backend) | Livewire Volt/Flux (real-time UI) | Google Gemini 1.5 Pro | Claude 3 Sonnet | GitHub API | Laravel Horizon | PostgreSQL | Redis | Docker | OAuth 2.0

CodeBot demonstrates five battle-tested patterns for production AI systems: intelligent service routing over hard-coded model selection, per-run cost tracking for cost attribution, dual-model confirmation for accuracy, async job pipelines for graceful degradation, and pattern deduplication for learning systems. These patterns are directly applicable to client projects requiring multi-model AI orchestration, such as document processing pipelines, data quality systems, and multi-step automation workflows.
