Nexos, the AI and software division of Abrams & Luchanski — a firm started in San Diego in 2024 by the engineer who designed and built the Nexos Platform, our own multi-tenant AI operations software — builds AI agents, workflow automation, private language models and custom software for Colorado companies, from Denver and Boulder to Colorado Springs and the Western Slope. Colorado engagements happen entirely at a distance: we hold workshops, reviews and training over video, with our Pacific clock one hour behind your Mountain Time. Scoping for a Colorado build notes where the Colorado Privacy Act or the 2026 automated-decision law may touch it, so you can raise those points with counsel early.
Colorado’s business base is wide and mostly small. The Census Bureau counted 182,486 employer establishments in 2023, belonging to 140,658 employer firms and employing roughly 2.57 million people, 3.4% more than a year earlier. Next to them sit 607,592 nonemployer businesses — consultants, contractors, designers, guides and tradespeople who work without a single paid employee and do their own paperwork at night.
The payroll leans toward desk work. Of about 2.97 million nonfarm jobs in August 2026, the Bureau of Labor Statistics places 489,500 in professional and business services, the biggest private supersector after trade, transportation and utilities, with 176,000 more in financial activities and 64,400 in information. The workforce behind those jobs is highly educated: 45.7% of Colorado adults aged 25 or older hold at least a bachelor’s degree, by the Census Bureau’s 2020–2024 estimate.
The Office of Economic Development and International Trade names fourteen key industries, among them aerospace, bioscience, energy and natural resources, financial services, food and agriculture, tourism and outdoor recreation, and cites the Colorado Space Coalition’s 2020 finding that Colorado ranks first among states for private aerospace employment concentration. Health care is a heavyweight as well, with $52.7 billion in receipts in 2022. Across that mix the daily work is proposals, compliance binders, patient and client records, bookings and reconciliations — rarely code.
Nexos has not delivered a Colorado project, so nothing here is a past result. Each item below follows from the economy described above, and names the service that would deliver it.
Engineering subcontractors along the Front Range answer long solicitations and maintain thick quality and compliance files. An assistant that finds the right past answer, requirement or procedure — and cites the exact document and revision it drew from — gives engineers back hours they currently spend searching shared drives.
Drawings, test data and customer specifications are the last things an engineering firm should paste into a consumer chatbot. Running a language model on hardware the company owns keeps that material inside its own network while still letting staff summarize, compare and draft from it.
Wealth managers, accountants and consultancies assemble the same quarterly figures from custodians, ledgers and CRMs by hand. A small data platform that pulls those sources together nightly lets an adviser open one current view of a client instead of rebuilding it before each meeting.
Outfitters, lodges and tour companies swing from a quiet shoulder season to a full winter or summer in weeks. Wiring the reservation system to scheduling, waivers, payments and guest messaging means the peak is handled by the same small office rather than by temporary data entry.
Staffing firms, lenders, insurers and clinics whose software materially influences who is hired, approved or covered will face Colorado’s decision-making statute from January 1, 2027. A purpose-built intake tool can be designed to give notice, record what the model contributed and route adverse results to a named reviewer, and can be adjusted once the Attorney General’s rules are final.
Colorado pairs a comprehensive privacy act, extended to biometric data in 2024, with two 2026 AI statutes that take effect on January 1, 2027. The Attorney General enforces them, and on August 11, 2026 filed proposed rules for both AI laws, taking written comments through October 26, 2026 — so details may still move.
Reaches entities that do business in Colorado or target its residents and either handle the personal data of 100,000 or more consumers a year, or earn revenue from selling personal data while handling that of at least 25,000. Residents may opt out of targeted advertising, sale of their data and profiling behind decisions with legal or similarly significant effects, and may access, correct, delete and port their data; sensitive data needs the consumer’s prior consent, and heightened-risk processing, some profiling included, a documented data protection assessment. A violation is a deceptive trade practice that only the Attorney General and district attorneys can pursue.
Anyone controlling or processing biometric identifiers needs a written policy with a retention schedule and a security-incident protocol, must delete the identifiers by set deadlines, and must give disclosure and obtain consent before collecting them. It also restricts the reasons an employer may require staff to consent to biometric collection.
Governs technology that materially influences consequential decisions about education, employment, housing, lending, insurance, health care or government services, and binds both the developers who build it and the deployers who use it. Deployers must give clear notice at the point of interaction, explain the system’s role within 30 days of an adverse outcome, and let people correct their data and ask for meaningful human review, keeping records for three years. It replaced the 2024 Colorado AI Act, whose start SB 25B-004 had already moved to June 30, 2026, before that date arrived.
Operators that develop or offer a conversational AI service to the public must tell users they are talking to artificial intelligence, estimate users’ ages and apply safeguards for minors, and keep a self-harm response protocol reported annually to the Attorney General. Whether a particular customer-service assistant counts as such a service is worth settling with counsel before launch.

A Colorado engagement starts with a free technology audit: a call, then a written audit ranking which of your workflows are worth automating. Next comes a fixed-scope proposal naming the deliverables, the exclusions and the price. Only once that paid build begins do the people who do the job share their screens and show us the real sequence — the portal logins, the spreadsheet tabs, the email they forward every Monday. Throughout the build there is a weekly check-in call and a shared progress board, and working software arrives early, so the first review is of software that runs rather than of slides.
All of Colorado keeps Mountain Time, one hour ahead of our Pacific clock, which leaves most of the working day shared: a 9 a.m. Denver standup is 8 a.m. for us, and a 4 p.m. review in Grand Junction is 3 p.m. here. Launch and training sessions can be recorded, with your agreement, so crews on early shifts or seasonal staff hired later can watch them on their own schedule.
Remote: discovery, reviews and training over video, with shared documents and working software in between. Mountain Time throughout Colorado — one hour ahead of Pacific.
The free technology audit is a call and a written audit, wherever you are, Southern California included. Outside Southern California, all of it runs over video.
Audit — free: a call and a written technology audit.
Build — from $4,900 per fixed-scope project.
Run — from $890/month for a hosted private model.
The same prices everywhere. See pricing.
Aidan Luchans founded Abrams & Luchanski in San Diego in 2024, and designed and built the Nexos Platform, a multi-tenant AI operations platform: AI agents, multi-step workflows with human approval, connections to roughly 90 business tools, and private knowledge search.
Aidan leads both the firm’s advisory work and Nexos’s engineering, so the person who scopes a project also builds it.
Remote delivery makes distance irrelevant, so a firm in Durango or Grand Junction is served on the same terms as one on the Denver–Boulder corridor.
The audit is free; a first build is a fixed-price project from $4,900, agreed in a fixed-scope proposal after the audit, and a hosted private model runs from $890 a month. Remote delivery to Colorado adds no travel cost; the price rises with the number of systems the work touches and how much human review its decisions need.
Quite possibly. From January 1, 2027, SB 26-189 covers technology that materially influences decisions about employment, among other areas, and it places duties on the deployer — the business using the tool — as well as on its developer. Ask counsel how it applies to you; we design the notices, logging and human-review step either way.
Yes — Colorado engagements are run entirely remotely. Discovery, design reviews, acceptance testing and training all happen over video, and the working software is shared with you throughout, so nothing depends on someone flying in.
We do not quote a timeline before the free audit, because the honest answer depends on your systems. After the audit, the fixed-scope proposal settles scope and price; what stretches a build is the number of tools the build must connect to and how many human review steps its outputs need before anything goes out. A Denver or Boulder firm is not slower to serve than a local one, since every stage runs over video. The quickest first projects to scope are ones that only move data between two systems, such as bookings into accounting, and they stay clear of the decisions Colorado’s new AI statute regulates.
Both, though the advice is practical rather than strategic. The free audit is consulting in the plain sense: we look at how your team works today and put in writing which workflows are worth automating, which are not, and what each would roughly cost — and you are free to take that report to another builder or do nothing with it.
Other areas: everywhere we build.
A short description is plenty. We reply within one business day.
Nexos works alongside Abrams & Luchanski consultants so technical solutions are designed around the business — not the other way around.
