We started on a farm.Four years later, it's Backpack.
Who we are.
Andrews Logic & Data Solutions builds AI-native software and processes for businesses. We started as a research lab when the first OpenAI API came out, then ran our own farm with an AI agent. What works for its dates, mangoes and chickens works for other businesses too. We build on the same principles we use to run our regenerative farm:
Every change can be seen, checked and put right.
What happened, where and why, so you can make better decisions.
That's how offices moved from paper to Excel, and how we moved the farm.
How it started.
- 2022A farm in spreadsheets
Learn to Grow's harvests go into Excel, and the gardeners, teachers and business side each keep their own notes.
- Mar 2023The first harvest in Backpack's log
The team starts sending harvests by message instead. More than 3,000 of them since.
- Aug 2026A rebuild, and a team
Backpack is rebuilt from the ground up, and a designer and a developer join.
- Sep 2026A world model your apps can use
Your own apps and AI agents can now work from your world model, through MCP and an API, with a key you make for your world.
