AI & software development for San Diego businesses.

Nexos is the artificial intelligence and software division of Abrams & Luchanski, a consulting firm headquartered in San Diego. We design and build AI agents, private language models, custom software and the integrations between the systems a business already runs — and once a San Diego or Southern California build is agreed, its working sessions happen in person, at your premises.

The economy

A technical region, full of non-technical businesses.

San Diego has a deep technology economy: the San Diego Regional EDC counts more than 3,100 software establishments and over 100 research institutions, nearly a thousand firms focused exclusively on cybersecurity, and a life sciences industry of close to sixty thousand jobs.

Most businesses here are not technology companies, though. They are the distributors, clinics, contractors, hospitality groups and professional firms that sit around those industries — and the software they run on was usually chosen for a smaller version of the company. That is the gap we build into: the work between the tools a business owns and the way its people actually get the job done.

Where AI & software pays off here

What we build here

Every Nexos service is available anywhere. These are the ones that fit San Diego’s mix of regulated, data-sensitive and high-volume businesses best, and why.

01

A free audit first, then discovery on site

Every engagement starts with the free technology audit: a call about how the business runs, then a written, ranked list of what is worth automating — and what is not. If you go ahead with a build, the discovery for it is done on site for San Diego County businesses, sitting with your team and the systems they use.

02

Private models for data that cannot leave

A clinic covered by HIPAA may share patient records with an outside service vendor only under a business associate agreement. A defense supplier handling controlled unclassified information under DFARS 252.204-7012 must protect it to NIST SP 800-171 on its own systems, may use a cloud provider for it only if that provider meets the FedRAMP Moderate baseline or an equivalent, and since November 2025 can find a CMMC Level 2 assessment written into the contract itself under DFARS 252.204-7021. A life sciences company may be held to sponsor or customer terms that rule out a hosted service altogether. A private, open-weight model on your own hardware answers from that data without it leaving the boundary you already secure — it does not replace the work of securing that boundary.

03

Agents for the back office

Agents for the repetitive back-office work — intake, triage, quoting, scheduling, reporting — with a human approval step wherever a mistake would be expensive. Useful for high-volume hospitality and service operators as much as for technical firms.

04

Integration between the systems you own

Connecting the CRM, ERP, accounting and ticketing systems you already pay for, so information stops being re-typed between them — engineered, versioned and monitored like any other software.

05

Software built around the process

Internal tools, dashboards and customer portals built around how your business works, when no off-the-shelf product fits without bending the process to suit it.

Rules that shape the build

Privacy and AI rules in San Diego

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 →

Defense suppliers and life sciences companies here often carry contractual data-handling obligations from their customers on top of state law, and clinics that bill insurance electronically are generally HIPAA covered entities. Those terms can decide whether a hosted model is an option at all, so we read them with your contracts or quality lead before any model is chosen.

How an engagement runs

Discovery on site. The build, remote.

The free audit is a call and a written report, here as everywhere. Once you sign a fixed-scope proposal, the paid build begins with discovery at your site anywhere in Southern California: watching the process being run, reading the systems with the people who use them, and settling the fine detail of the agreed scope in the room.

The build itself runs remotely, with a weekly check-in and working software to look at from early on. We come back on site for go-live and training. Businesses elsewhere in California and the United States get the same process, run over video.

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 clock we work on in San Diego.

How we work
  1. Free technology audit. A call, then a written audit that ranks what in your business is worth building or automating.
  2. Fixed-scope proposal. What will be built, what is left out and the price, in writing before any work starts.
  3. The build. A weekly check-in call, a shared progress board showing what is done, what is next and what is waiting on you, and working software to try early.

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.

Pricing

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.

Who does the work

Aidan Luchans, Founder

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.

Questions

San Diego, specifically.

Is Nexos a San Diego company?

Nexos is the artificial intelligence and software division of Abrams & Luchanski, which is headquartered in San Diego, where it was founded in 2024. The two are one firm: the consulting and the build are the same engagement.

Can you build AI that never sends our data outside our network?

Yes — that is what the local LLM installation is for: an open-weight model on your own hardware, wired into your tools. It suits organisations whose data cannot go to a hosted AI service, such as HIPAA-covered clinics or suppliers bound by customer data-handling terms. Keeping the model on your hardware settles where the data goes; it does not by itself make you compliant, which your own compliance or legal lead confirms. If you would rather not run the hardware, a hosted private model is the alternative, but it runs outside your network.

How much does AI or custom software development cost for a San Diego business?

The technology audit is free; builds start from $4,900 per fixed-scope project; a hosted private model runs from $890/month. Those are the same prices across San Diego County as everywhere else.

What happens first, and do you meet in person?

The free technology audit comes first: a call, then a written audit ranking what is worth automating. Anything you choose to build becomes a fixed-scope project, and for a San Diego County business its discovery happens in person — we visit your site, watch the process being run and read the systems alongside the people who use them. Those on-site days belong to the paid build, not the free audit. The engineering runs remotely with a weekly check-in call and a shared progress board, and go-live and training happen on site.

Do you have San Diego references or past projects to show?

Not yet. Nexos was founded in 2024 and has no client projects or references to show, in San Diego or anywhere else. The free audit is the honest way to judge the work, since it leaves you with a written, ranked assessment of your own systems whether or not you hire us.

From advisory to implementation

Nexos works alongside Abrams & Luchanski consultants so technical solutions are designed around the business — not the other way around.
