Church Answers
Software development, cloud hosting, and AI from one team.
We build web and mobile applications, host them on infrastructure we own in the United States, and run AI models you can chat with or build into your product. You work directly with the engineers doing the work.
Custom Software Development
Web and mobile applications, internal tools, and system integrations, built by the engineers who host them
Cloud VPS Hosting
Managed virtual private servers with flat monthly pricing and full root access on US-based infrastructure
AI Chat
Chat with a model hosted on hardware we own, free to try with no account
AI Models and API
Models for chat, code security review, and high-volume automation, behind an OpenAI-compatible API for your own applications
Ship the software you need in months, not years
We are a lean software team that builds custom web and mobile applications and gets them live fast. Fewer people, less process, more shipped. You work directly with the engineers doing the work, from the first call to production.
- You work with the people building your software, not a project manager relaying messages to a team you never meet
- We scope hard and build in short cycles, so the budget goes into shipped features instead of coordination
- The code, the IP, and the accounts are yours, spelled out in our Services Agreement

July3.1 TBPlan rate
June was a product launch. Traffic went up roughly fifteen times over March. The amount billed did not move, because compute carries no overage and the default when you cross the bandwidth allowance is a speed drop to the base tier rather than a charge.

Cloud VPS Hosting Without the Surprise Bill
Carpathian Cloud is a managed VPS platform with flat monthly pricing, full root access, and US-based infrastructure. Compute is never metered, and the default for bandwidth is a speed drop at the allowance rather than a charge.
- Flat monthly cloud pricing with no hourly billing or compute overages
- US-based VPS infrastructure with active monitoring and uptime SLA
- Full root access, standard disk images, and no vendor lock-in
AI Models for Chat, Code, and Security Work
Carpathian AI is a set of hosted models, each one for a specific job: everyday chat, reviewing code for security flaws, and running the same kind of request all day behind a script. Talk to one in the public chat, then call the same models from your own application.
- Free chat to try with no account, and no message caps on a free one
- An OpenAI-compatible API, so the SDK you already use keeps working
- Every model runs on our own compute in the United States

Which model should I use to summarize support tickets?
For tickets under a few thousand words, Wren is the fastest option and costs the least per token. If the tickets include long email threads, step up to Osprey for better summaries of multi-party context.
Can I call it with the OpenAI SDK?
Yes. Point
base_url at https://api.carpathian.ai/ai and keep the rest of your code.The public chat runs the same models the API serves.
