About
We do not pretend to know every industry. We know agriculture, local government, and professional services because we have worked in them. If your problem is outside that, we will tell you.
Helio is the public brand. Fieldmind Ltd is the operating company.
Helio is the product and systems studio operated by Fieldmind Ltd. We have been building and running software systems for 20 years. Over the last three years, better AI tooling made it practical to ship focused products and useful business workflows.
We keep the team small and the overhead lower. When a project needs more hands, we bring in people we have worked with before. Not random contractors from a platform.
Based in the UK. Can work remotely or on-site. For infrastructure, remote is faster. For understanding how your team actually works, being in the room is better.
The deciding factor is usually whether your workflows are written down or exist only in people's heads.
We scope before we start. Fixed price for a fixed deliverable. If the scope changes, we talk about it. No surprises.
You talk to the person doing the work. No account manager. No junior developer learning on your budget.
Documentation gets written as we go. The goal is that someone else could pick this up and understand it.
Your approved data, rules, examples, and operating context matter more than choosing the fanciest foundation model. Generic AI becomes more useful when it is grounded in the material your team actually relies on.
Infrastructure is not exciting but it matters. If the server is down, the AI is useless. We spend as much time on the boring stuff as the model.
AI should do the repetitive work. Humans should keep the judgment calls. We do not build systems that try to replace people where they matter.
