Six apps built on Chamfer: claims, dock, rota, quality and store dashboards

1,400 companies build on the Bench

01 — The Bench

Three ways to shape the same app

Start with a sentence, then move between Chat, Data and Code without leaving the app. Every edit lands in the Logbook with a name and a diff.

Describe it in plain English

Tell the Bench what the team needs and which source to read. Follow-up prompts adjust the layout, fields and rules.

Check the data it touches

Edit the code, or bring your own

02 — What’s included

Everything an internal app needs, on one bench

A builder that reads your schema

Prompts are answered against your real tables and column names, so the queries it writes run on the first try.

Code wherever you want it

Drop into SQL, JavaScript or TypeScript on any query or event. Import npm packages and your own React components.

100+ sources, one credential store

Postgres, Snowflake, Salesforce, Stripe, and any REST or GraphQL API. Credentials never reach the browser.

Stockroom, managed Postgres

Every app gets a shelf in the Stockroom: managed Postgres with a separate branch for dev, staging and prod.

Tolerances on every app

SSO, roles, row-level permissions, sign-offs and a Logbook come with the first version, not the fifth.

Our cloud or Chamfer Onsite

Run on Chamfer’s cloud in the US or EU, or install Onsite in your VPC, on-prem or fully air-gapped.

Refund Desk admin panel for Tessaly with a two-person sign-off queue

Claims analyst chat for Halden Mutual beside an open-claims chart

Markdown Manager dashboard for Saltmarsh & Co. with waste KPIs and charts

Renewals Board for Quenby with renewals grouped by 90, 60 and 30 days

Carrier rates grid for Kettleby Freight with validation checks and a pending sign-off

03 — Use cases

What teams put on the Bench first

Admin panels support teams trust

Look up a customer, fix an order, issue a refund. The panel runs on your production tables, and each role can change only what it should.

Used by

Support

Operations

Finance

See the use case →

AI assistants on your own data

Put Claude, GPT or a private model behind a chat that reads only the tables you allow. Every answer links to the rows it used.

Works with models from

Anthropic

OpenAI

Amazon Bedrock

Azure OpenAI

See the use case →

Dashboards that write back

Chart Snowflake, BigQuery or Postgres, then let people correct the row they are looking at. Every write passes the same roles and sign-offs.

Reads from

Snowflake

BigQuery

Postgres

Redshift

MySQL

The screen your SaaS is missing

Add a deal desk to Salesforce, an escalation queue to Zendesk or a payout review to Stripe, shaped to your process instead of theirs.

Extends

Salesforce

Zendesk

Stripe

Jira

See the use case →

Spreadsheets with an approver

Replace the shared sheet with an app that checks each entry, limits who edits which rows, and records every change by name.

Replaces

Google Sheets

Excel

Airtable

CSV

04 — Operators and Jobs

Add

Operators

to

any

app:

agents

that

work

a

queue

on

a

named

person’s

authority,

stay

inside

the

tables

you

allow,

and

log

every

step

they

take.

Add Operators to any app: agents that work a queue on a named person’s authority, stay inside the tables you allow, and log every step they take.

Jobs and Operators, on the same controls

Schedule a Job for the nightly reconciliation, trigger one from a webhook, or hand a queue to an Operator. Each run writes a job sheet, sensitive writes wait for a named approver, and any Operator can be revoked in one click.

How Operators work →

A Job graph that reads claims, applies Specs, scores with a model and waits for sign-off, beside a claims analyst chat

05 — Side by side

What it takes to hand an app to 400 people

Typical AI app builders

Queries Postgres, Snowflake and your APIs directly, with no copied data

SSO, roles and a Logbook on every app from its first version

Hosting, environments and promotion to prod in the same place you build

Edit one field by hand without re-running the whole prompt

Made for queues, approvals and write-backs to live systems

06 — Customers

“We replaced 14 spreadsheet processes in one quarter, and every app had a named approver before it went live.”

07 — Questions

What teams ask before they build

What does Chamfer actually build?

How is this different from an AI coding assistant?

Can we edit what the Bench generates?

Which data sources can Chamfer connect to?

Can we bring an app we’ve already built?

Is our data used to train AI models?
