Websites, apps, games and AI consulting. Made in the Hawkesbury, NSW, since 2016.

Rain Software is a family-run software studio in the Hawkesbury, out on the north-west edge of Sydney. We've been building things since 2016.

We build for businesses, clubs and people with an idea they can't stop thinking about, and lately we spend a lot of time helping teams work out what AI is good for. If it runs on a screen, we can probably build it. More about us

Get your business up to speed with AI

Most businesses know they should be using AI tools and don't know where to start, or tried ChatGPT once and weren't impressed. We sit down with your team, find the jobs where it actually saves time, set it up properly and show everyone how to use it. We use these tools every day and build custom AI solutions, so we know where they help and where they fall over.

  1. 01

    Workshops

    Hands-on sessions with your team, on your real work. What ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot and Gemini are good at, and what you shouldn't trust them with.

  2. 02

    Setup

    Choosing the right tools, setting up accounts, privacy settings and a simple policy so staff know what can and can't go into them.

  3. 03

    Automations

    Connecting AI to the software you already use. Sorting the inbox, drafting quotes and replies, pulling data out of documents and into spreadsheets.

  4. 04

    Custom builds

    Assistants that know your products and procedures, and internal tools built around them.

No hype and no 40-slide strategy deck. If AI isn't worth it for something, we'll tell you.

Recent work

Most of what we build is for small businesses and goes out under their name. Here's one we can show. Ask and we'll walk you through more.

How it goes

No account managers and no surprise invoices. You talk to the people building it.

  1. Step 1:

    You tell us the idea

    Use the form below. A few lines on what it should do and who it's for is plenty.

  2. Step 2:

    We send a free quote

    A fixed price and a timeline. Payment can be split up if that helps; we know money gets tight.

  3. Step 3:

    We build it in the open

    You see progress as it happens, and you hear about problems from us before you'd notice them.

  4. Step 4:

    You get the keys

    Everything handed over, plus a short guide. We're still around after launch if you want us.

Got an idea?

Tell us what you want to build, or what you'd like AI to take off your plate. A few lines is plenty. We'll come back with questions or a quote.
