New ServicesNPCLocal

Your business gets services in Spanish.

Shops in South Texas find phone answering, custom software in their language.

NPCLocal is our local-services site that connects Coastal Bend folks with local pros, plus a jobs board.

By The Shop · Dispatch from Alice

If you run a business and speak Spanish at home, finding tech help in English gets old fast. We built four new services: AI phone answering, workflow automation, AI consulting, and custom software. All of them work in English and Spanish.

These aren't generic AI tools you find online. They're built on what we actually do here: real people who answer your phone calls, automation that cuts busywork, and software we write for shops that need something nobody else sells. We own these services in South Texas because we built them ourselves.

New ServicesNPC Fix

NPC Fix is our remote support app: we connect to your computer over the internet and fix it, no house call needed.

Your computer gets fixed without a truck visit.

When your Windows computer breaks, the old way meant waiting for a truck. Now you can let us in remotely and we fix it while you watch. You install a small app, give us permission, and we can see your screen and fix the problem without leaving our shop.

For HireClip

Clip is our app for recording your screen or camera, then trimming and sharing the clip.

Record only your face on video.

If you want to record yourself talking but keep your desktop private, we built a mode that records only your camera. No screen clutter. No accidental tabs or notifications showing up in the video. Just you, talking straight to the camera.

Your videos upload quicker.

When you upload a video, it goes to the nearest server instead of through a slow bottleneck. If you're in Corpus Christi, it finds the closest server and moves fast. If you're in another state, same deal.

Watch your videos in the library.

When you're scrolling through your video library, you can hit play and watch right there. No new tab, no loading screen, no jumping around. Just watch and trim the ones that need it.

Just For FunExtension Quest V2

Find local work in your town.

We built a board for work that needs doing in the field. Jobs post there and you can claim one if you can do it. The work is real and local because it comes from people and businesses in South Texas who need something fixed or built.

Straight TalkNPCLocal

NPCLocal is our local-services site that connects Coastal Bend folks with local pros, plus a jobs board.

We rewrote the daily paper to sound like a real person.

When we ship new work, an AI writes the first draft of the story. That draft was good enough, but it started to sound like every other tech newsletter online. Flat. Buzzword-heavy. Like nobody real was talking to you.
