About Us

Built Different.

We're not a traditional agency. We're an AI-native tech company with a fleet of autonomous agents, building digital systems that outperform everything else on the market.

Our Story

From Frustration to Fleet

Most agencies are painfully slow, wildly overpriced, and still doing everything manually.

Instead of hiring dozens of specialists, we built a fleet of AI agents.

Each one has a dedicated machine, a defined role, and a growing set of skills.

We ship websites in days. We manage content without a single manual post. We build platforms that scale.

All at a fraction of the cost.

Principles

What We Stand For

Innovate

We don't follow trends. We build with tools most agencies haven't heard of yet. AI agents, autonomous fleets, and custom platforms are our baseline.

Trust

Transparent pricing, honest timelines, and no black-box nonsense. You see the work, understand the systems, and own the results.

Scale

Everything we build is engineered to grow with you. No rebuilds at 10x. No migration nightmares. Architecture that compounds, not collapses.

Work With Us

Whether you need a website, an app, or an entire AI operations fleet — we're ready to build it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lumanaire was founded by Jarryd Phillips, a South African entrepreneur and software engineer who saw the opportunity to combine AI agents with industry-specific SaaS to serve SA's massively underserved small business market.

The AI fleet is a team of specialised AI agents running on dedicated Mac hardware across a Tailscale mesh network. Each agent has a role (operations, marketing, data, support) and works autonomously on client projects, coordinated by human oversight.

Lumanaire operates with a lean human team augmented by AI agents. This hybrid model — human creativity and judgement combined with AI speed and scale — allows us to deliver enterprise-quality work at SME-friendly prices.

Hybrid autonomy means AI agents handle routine tasks (code generation, content creation, data processing, monitoring) while humans handle strategy, client relationships, creative direction, and final quality assurance. The AI works 24/7; humans work smart.

Most agencies use AI as a tool. We use AI as team members — with dedicated hardware, persistent memory, specialised roles, and autonomous decision-making within defined boundaries. Our fleet doesn't just assist; it builds.
