Byte & Kite Stack

Our core tools for scaling AI & SaaS brands — and why we trust them.

This is the toolkit we use to run Byte & Kite, serve our clients, and keep everything moving at startup speed. We’re opinionated. We’re hands-on. And we only recommend what we use ourselves — day in, day out.

Why this matters:

SaaS founders often ask us, “What tools should we start with?” This page is our open-source answer — with reasoning, not just logos.

How We Keep This Updated

We revisit this stack every quarter. If an AI tool becomes outdated or we find a better one, we swap it in. As an agency immersed in AI and SaaS, this stack reflects where the best tools are moving — not just what worked in 2023.
