Custom AI Agents & Business Apps, Built by the Team That Already Knows Your IT
Most Tampa Bay businesses run on software that almost fits. Our AI development services close that gap, so the spreadsheet only one person understands stops running your day.
ShowTech Solutions has provided managed IT services to Tampa Bay businesses for more than 15 years. Today we also offer AI development services: custom AI agents, business apps, and integrations that connect the tools you already use. And because we already know your systems, your security, and your people, you skip months of discovery and get an app that fits the way you actually work.
A custom app is probably worth a conversation if any of these sound familiar:
If an off-the-shelf product already does the job well, we’ll tell you. However, custom software only makes sense when it pays for itself in hours saved, errors avoided, or decisions made faster.
Custom AI development means building software around one painful, repeated problem in your business and solving it very well. Instead of asking a chatbot for help, an AI agent or purpose-built app does a specific job inside your workflow: reading, sorting, drafting, routing, or reporting, with a person approving anything that matters. AI-assisted development also lets a small, experienced team build these tools in weeks instead of quarters, at a price that makes sense for small and mid-sized businesses.
The best custom apps aren’t giant platforms. Instead, they solve one problem very well. For example, here are the categories we see most often.
Stop keying invoices in twice.
Give partners and executives an hour back.
One view instead of five systems.
Budgets that don’t drift out of date.
Replace the fragile spreadsheet.
Information stops living in five places.
The context about your systems, security, and people is the expensive part of any software project. Your managed IT provider already has it.
AI tools make it easy for anyone to spin up an app over a weekend. That’s exactly the problem. An app built without security in mind can expose client files, financial records, or privileged communications in ways no one notices until it’s too late.
That’s why our AI development services start with security. ShowTech holds the GTIA Cybersecurity Trustmark Assurance credential, and we build every app to the same standard we use to protect our clients’ networks.
We sit with the people doing the work and map where time and accuracy are lost. Often the answer is a smaller app than you expected.
We define what the first version does, what it connects to, and how you’ll measure success.
You see working software every week or two, not a big reveal at the end.
Your team uses it on real work before it’s rolled out more widely.
Updates, monitoring, and help desk support fold into the service you already have with us.
We don’t just talk about AI. Over the past year, ShowTech has been designing and building our own AI agents, apps, and custom integrations, and running our business on them every day.
As a result, we only recommend what we’ve seen work. Want to see it in action? In our ShowTech Sync webinar, CEO Cary Showalter and COO Charles J. Love walk through the real tools we built, what they do for our team, and how the same approach can be tailored to your business. No hype, no jargon. Register or watch on demand.

An AI agent is software that does a specific job inside your workflow, like sorting email, reading invoices, or pulling a report together, rather than just answering questions in a chat window. At ShowTech, every agent we build keeps a person in the loop to approve anything sensitive.
A focused first version usually takes a few weeks to a couple of months, depending on how many systems it connects to.
Yes. Most of the apps we build connect to tools you already use, including Microsoft 365, Outlook, and common accounting platforms.
It can be, with the right controls. We keep data inside your environment where possible, require multi-factor authentication, and put a human approval step on anything sensitive.
No, but existing clients get the fastest start because we already know their systems.
If an off-the-shelf product already does the job well, we’ll tell you. Custom software only makes sense when it pays for itself in hours saved, errors avoided, or decisions made faster.
We do. Updates, monitoring, and help desk support fold into the IT service you already have with ShowTech, so the team that built it is the same team you already call.
Tell us about the task your team repeats every day. We’ll help you figure out whether a custom app or AI agent makes sense, and what the first version could look like. Prefer to talk? Call or text (813) 793-4700.
