About
We build by hand and with AI, and have done both for ourselves
TrueMake is a small consultancy that runs on the same kind of systems, integrations and agents it builds for clients. The standard we hold ourselves to is the standard every engagement gets.
Founder
Tendai Musendo
Tendai is a software engineer and integration consultant who works hands-on in the systems he implements: CRM and ERP systems such as HubSpot and NetSuite, integration platforms like Celigo, and workspace tools such as Google Workspace, configured and connected himself rather than handed to a partner.
He built the platform this business runs on the same way, by hand and with AI: a work tracker with its own MCP connectors, so Claude can read and update projects, time and customer records under the same rules a person would follow. That is the method every client engagement gets. AI speeds up the build. The configuration, the judgement and the checking are done by hand, by someone who knows the software.
If an agent cannot be trusted to work inside our own books, it is not ready to work inside yours.

Why the name
We are true to what we make.
The name is a promise in three parts. It is how we decide what to take on, when to call something done, and what happens after.
We make it true
Nothing is done because a demo looked good. It is done when it runs on your records, your team has used it, and the criteria you signed are ticked against evidence.
We stay true to it
What we build, we stand behind. We keep improving it after go-live, and we are the people you call when it needs to change, not a ticket queue.
We are true with you
Plain answers about what AI can take on and what it cannot yet. If the honest answer is "not this one", you will hear it before you spend anything.
