We build agentic AI systems and modernize legacy infrastructure for mid-market businesses ready to grow without starting over.
The American chestnut once dominated the Eastern forests — resilient, productive, deeply established. Then it was lost. We named our practice after its comeback: the work of rebuilding something strong using modern science without losing what made it great in the first place.
That's what we do for mid-market and small businesses. Your existing systems, workflows, and institutional knowledge are assets. We help you connect them to agentic AI — intelligently, without ripping everything out.
Start with a free callFrom legacy data pipelines to autonomous AI agents — we meet your business where it is and build toward where it's going.
We wrap, migrate, or incrementally replace aging COBOL, mainframe, and on-prem systems — without burning down what's working.
COBOL API Wrapping CDC ReplicationMulti-agent systems that automate complex business processes — with human-in-the-loop checkpoints where they matter most.
Claude API Multi-Agent AutomationWe connect your private document stores — SharePoint, file servers, PDFs — to retrieval-augmented AI that actually understands your business.
RAG Pipelines SharePoint Vector DBSQL and Python-backed data pipelines that move, transform, and serve your data reliably — the infrastructure AI needs to work well.

"American Chestnut Labs helped us completely rethink how we were managing our product catalog and order workflows. What used to take our small team hours of manual data work each week is now handled by an agentic pipeline they built in about six weeks. The approach was thoughtful — they never pushed us toward more complexity than we needed, and they trained our team alongside the build. Genuinely one of the best investments we've made."
A free 15-minute discovery call is the first step. We'll learn about your current systems, where you're feeling the friction, and whether there's a fit.
