AI built in, not bolted on

Every sluicebox account includes AI-powered assistance. Ask questions, take action, get answers from your data instantly.

Built-in AI Chat

Included with every account. Use natural language to interact with your operations data.

  • "How many hours did we bill last month?"
  • "Start a timer on the ACME project"
  • "Show me overdue tasks for the team"

MCP Compatible

Connect ChatGPT, Claude, or any MCP-compatible AI directly to your sluicebox data.

  • Use your preferred AI assistant
  • Full API access to all your data
  • Build custom workflows

Business answers, not search results

Ask a question, get a real answer. The AI queries your actual data and synthesizes results using knowledge of your business context.

Instead of:

"I found 12 files mentioning 'Johnson project.' Would you like me to summarize them?"

You get:

"The Johnson Electric project is in Phase 2 of 3. You've billed $12,400 of the $18,000 budget and timeline is on track. One open item: waiting on their IT team for API credentials. Last activity was yesterday — Mike logged 3 hours on panel wiring."

Born from real experience

sluicebox is the evolution of Limelyte Extranet — our internal operations platform that's run our software consulting business since 2006.

Limelyte Technology Group

Limelyte Technology Group is a software development and consulting agency based in Spokane, WA. Since 1999, we've been solving problems with software — building custom applications, integrations, and tools for businesses of all sizes. sluicebox is the platform we built to run our own operations.

Why we built it

In 2006, off-the-shelf solutions were too generic, too expensive, or didn't fit our workflows. So we built our own. 20 years later, it still runs every aspect of our operations — time tracking, invoicing, project management, client relationships.

Battle-tested daily

We're not building from theory. Every feature in sluicebox has been used in production for years. We've tracked hundreds of thousands of hours, generated thousands of invoices, and managed thousands of projects across hundreds of clients.
