About Pete

I build things, then write down what worked.

I’m Pete Gypps. I run COR Solutions, the managed IT business that looks after UK firms day to day, and I built COR Intelligence, the side that designs software, platforms and AI systems. This blog is where the two meet: the problems we see in real client work, and what we build to solve them.

Every article starts as a job. A client’s problem, a system we are building, a fix we had to find. The writing is the notes I would have wanted at the start.

How I work with AI

I know the major AI systems from the inside: their strengths, their weaknesses, and how to push their output past industry standards. Claude Code and Codex are the daily tools. The deeper work happens on local open-weight models (DeepSeek, Gemma, Llama, Qwen, Phi) running on hardware I own, with harnesses and tooling I build myself.

That shows up in what ships: Mac and Windows software, apps, SaaS platforms and websites. Content, imagery, video, personal avatars. If it can be done with AI, I have done it or tested it. I am looking for AI builders, not just AI users.

Our own products

  • Deck View

    Native macOS app for running many coding agents at once: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Aider, Copilot and Windsurf side by side in one multi-pane deck, with sessions that survive closing the app.

  • COR Cool

    Menu bar app for Apple Silicon Macs: live temperatures, fan speeds and custom fan control, built after an M5 Max ran hot under an MLX inference job.

  • Local mailbox AI

    A local-first AI assistant for a 125,000-message mailbox, with a knowledge graph and every bit of inference running on our own machine. Built when cloud AI could connect to the inbox but not read it.

Built for clients

  • Will drafter for a law firm

    A FLIT will-drafting tool with the AI running on a computer in the firm’s own office: no internet connection, no client data leaving the building, hours of partner time saved per will.

  • Matter-folder app for a family law solicitor

    A one-click native Mac app that creates a client matter folder and syncs it straight to SharePoint. No login, no browser, built to fit how the solicitor actually works.
