Getting a tool built
The 36-hour promise
Operator members get one scoped tool request each month. Once the tiny, useful version is agreed, Bum Bum ships it within 36 hours, or the next month is on us, credited automatically.
Last updated October 27, 2026
How it runs
- Tell us the one annoying task, from your account page or the request form.
- We reply with the tiny, useful version we can actually build. Nothing vague ships.
- The 36-hour clock starts when scope and access are confirmed.
- The tool lands in your toolbox, tested and working.
Clock rules, in plain English
- Weekends and US federal holidays do not count.
- The clock pauses while we are waiting on you, for an answer, a login, or an example file.
- Miss the window and your next month is free, credited automatically. No forms, no begging; the credit shows up on your account page.
What fits in 36 hours
One focused workflow that can be built in about four working hours, using approved existing services where it makes sense. It cannot include regulated data (health records, finance credentials, that neighborhood), complex data migrations, mobile app store review timelines, or work stuck waiting on a third party.
Bigger idea? We will carve out the most useful slice, ship that inside the promise, and tell you honestly what the rest would take.
