Hands-on workshops where your team builds something real with AI, with materials to keep and a follow-up Q and A window.
See training →Every project is quoted at a fixed price before any work starts. The free call is how you get yours.
Bigger project? Larger apps are quoted by phase after a scoping call. Talk about a bigger build
Included in every build
A live walkthrough, a short how-to guide, and 30 days of email support. You own the code and the accounts.
Practical examples
What we could build for you
Examples of the chores we take off your plate. Yours will be scoped to fit.
After-hours inquiry assistant
Answers questions on your website or by text at 9pm, qualifies the lead, and books the appointment, so you stop losing customers to whoever replied first.
Proposal and contract drafting
Notes from a discovery call become a polished, branded proposal in about ten minutes.
"Ask your data" dashboard
Your sales, bookings, or inventory data sits behind a simple question box. Ask "which service made the most money last quarter?" and get the answer without opening a spreadsheet.
Custom team assistant
A private AI trained on your processes, pricing, and policies, so a new hire can get answers without interrupting you.

Our work
In build
A spending plan in a CPA's own voice.
Sherron Permashwar, CPA, teaches a spending method in her Get Wealthy With Me course and wanted students to apply it to their own real spending. We are building an app that reads a student's recent transactions and sorts them the way she teaches, with her personality quiz and a coaching voice written from her own answers. She owns the ownership rights and the code.
The first release is in build. Results will be added after launch.
Sartori AI was built by Ardent and is now its own company. Visit Sartori AI
Big stages, small teams. We bring the same plain-spoken approach to a local shop as to a conference room.

About us
The people doing the work.
We are Ashley and Wesley. We run Ardent Studio in Palm Beach County. We work directly with you to find where AI helps, build what fits across the major AI tools, and make sure your team can use it. No account-manager handoff, just the people doing the work.
