Nexos, the AI and software division of Abrams & Luchanski, plans, builds and supports AI agents, private language models, custom applications and the connections between existing systems for businesses across Los Angeles County, from Long Beach and Torrance to Pasadena, Burbank and Santa Monica. Discovery workshops, design reviews, go-live and staff training take place in person at your premises, while the engineering between those visits is done remotely from San Diego.

Entertainment is not where most of the jobs are. In the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale metro division, the Bureau of Labor Statistics counts about 1,029,100 jobs in education and health services, against roughly 657,500 in professional and business services. On the revenue side, Census data show $113.5 billion taken in by the county’s health care and social assistance providers in 2022, next to about $44.0 billion in accommodation and food services sales, the restaurants, bars and hotels. Hospital systems, medical groups, dental and therapy practices, home-care agencies and community nonprofits generate an enormous volume of forms, referrals, eligibility checks and scheduling.
The information sector, which BLS defines to include motion picture and sound recording, broadcasting and publishing, held about 168,900 jobs in August 2026, down 6.2% from twelve months earlier on the same preliminary series. For studios, post houses and agencies running leaner teams, the useful builds are the ones that take repetitive admin (deliverables tracking, clearances, invoicing) off the people who remain.
Underneath all of it sits a very long tail of small operators. Census counts about 251,000 employer firms in the county, 105,739 of them minority-owned, and more than 1.1 million nonemployer businesses: freelancers, independent contractors, sole-practitioner professionals. Few of these can justify an in-house developer, so their operations run on off-the-shelf tools stitched together by hand.
Nexos has no Los Angeles projects to show, and nothing here describes one. These are the builds the county’s employers, its health economy and its creative industries point toward, with the reasoning behind each.
Practices and home-care agencies sit on referral letters, visit notes and payer rules that staff search by hand all day. A private language model, installed on hardware you control, can summarise, draft and answer questions from those records without sending patient information to a public AI service.
Producers and post houses answer the same questions over and over: which licence covers this clip, what a talent agreement allows, which deliverables a distributor still expects. An agent that searches the contract and deliverables archive and cites the clause it relied on shortens that hunt, while a person makes the call.
Law firms, accounting practices, marketing agencies and consultancies re-enter the same client details into a CRM, a matter or project tool and an invoicing system. Wiring those together, with an approval step on anything that touches money, should recover staff time each week and cut re-keying errors on invoices.
An operator running several kitchens or clinic sites usually learns how last week went from a stack of exports and a spreadsheet someone rebuilds by hand. A small data platform that pulls point-of-sale, scheduling and payroll figures into one daily view shows which location is drifting before the month closes.
For a ten-person studio or service business, the right answer is often a small custom application — a booking and job tracker, a client portal, a quoting tool — that fits the way the firm really works instead of forcing it into generic software.
California’s rules apply here as they do statewide: the CCPA as amended by the CPRA, the California Privacy Protection Agency’s regulations on automated decisionmaking technology and risk assessments, and the Civil Rights Council’s rules on automated-decision systems in employment. Each is itemised, with official links and dates, on our California page. California’s rules, itemised →
Work that touches a performer’s voice or likeness has an extra check here: Labor Code § 927, added by AB 2602 (Stats. 2024, ch. 259), can make a contract clause unenforceable where it lets a digital replica stand in for work the individual would have done in person, unless the contract describes the intended uses with reasonable specificity or the performer had a lawyer or union negotiating for them. It applies to new performances fixed on or after January 1, 2025. Any generative build near talent starts with a look at the contracts.

The free audit is a call and a written report; nothing about it needs a trip. Once a build is agreed, Los Angeles County being inside our in-person area means its kickoff happens where the work does: a front desk, an edit bay, a billing office. Because the county is large and the trip from San Diego is long, we group on-site sessions into full days, which can cover several teams or locations in one visit, and agree the agenda in advance so nobody is pulled out of a shift for nothing.
The build itself runs remotely, with a fixed weekly check-in and a shared tracker showing what is done, what is in progress and what needs your decision. We return in person for acceptance testing, launch and training, and anyone who misses a training session can arrange a follow-up.
In person across Southern California: San Diego, Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, Ventura, Santa Barbara and Imperial counties, the Coachella Valley included. Pacific Time, the same as our San Diego base.
The free technology audit is a call and a written audit, wherever you are, Southern California included. In Southern California, on-site sessions (workshops, discovery at your premises, design reviews, acceptance testing and training) are part of a paid build, not the free audit.
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.

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.
Every part of Los Angeles County is in person for us, from the South Bay and the harbor cities to the San Fernando, San Gabriel and Antelope valleys.
The audit is free; builds start at $4,900 as a fixed-price project, and a hosted private model starts at $890 a month. A build price is agreed in writing, in a fixed-scope proposal, before work starts. The audit, a call and a written report, tells you which of those, if either, is worth paying for.
Both, by design. The free audit happens by phone or video; once you commission a build, its discovery workshop, design reviews, acceptance testing and training take place at your premises anywhere in the county, and the coding in between is remote with a weekly call. You never have to drive to San Diego.
Often, yes, but it is a compliance question before it is a technical one: HIPAA and California’s Confidentiality of Medical Information Act both apply. Sending records to a public chatbot is the risky path; a private model running on hardware you control keeps the information in your hands. We map what data each workflow touches and design with those laws in mind, and your counsel or compliance adviser settles what the practice needs, including any vendor agreements.
Treat voice and likeness as a contracts question first. California’s Labor Code § 927 can void clauses that let a digital replica replace in-person work when the uses are vaguely described and the performer had no lawyer or union, so check the agreements with counsel. Many of the most useful builds, such as searching contracts and tracking deliverables, never generate a likeness at all.
Both. The free audit is itself a consulting step: it maps where AI would and would not pay off in your operations before anything is built. Wider operations and strategy consulting in Los Angeles County is run by our parent firm, Abrams & Luchanski, whose Los Angeles page is linked below.
