The studio behind ContractorPod
Two founders building small, honest AI pods for everyday people.
N7 Technologies is a founder-run studio shipping AI-native software in tightly focused product pods — one job, one audience, one polished interface. We answer our own email, run our own products, and stand behind the people we build for.
Who’s behind it
The founders who build and run what they sell
We’re Neural Zenith Technologies, LLC — N7 for short. Two people, not a faceless studio. Neither of us came up through a computer-science track — we came from operations and from production. We taught ourselves to ship AI software, and ContractorPod is live proof: built, run, and supported by the same two people whose names are on this page. When you reach out, you reach a founder.
Dante Pagan
Project & supply-chain management
Bachelor's, Penn State University
Comes from operations and supply chain — the discipline of making moving parts arrive on time and on budget. Runs product, the customer relationship, and the day-to-day of every pod.

Audio engineering & music production
Bachelor's, Full Sail University
Comes from audio engineering and production — a craft of obsessing over how a finished thing actually feels to use. Shapes the build and the polish that makes each pod feel right.

We design the pods. DeployPod wires the agents.
We don’t run the AI plumbing ourselves. N7 Technologies and DeployPod are independent companies bound by a master services agreement: N7 ships the consumer pods; DeployPod builds and runs the agents inside them.
DeployPod
The AI infrastructure that powers every pod.
When you chat with Mason inside ContractorPod, you’re talking to a DeployPod-hosted agent. They own model orchestration, retrieval, and tool-use — the hosted-agent runtime every pod calls into — and license that engine to N7. Close and aligned, but legally and operationally distinct.

- Owns model orchestration, retrieval, tool-use
- Licenses the engine to N7 under an MSA
What drives us
Our mission and vision
Our mission
Put frontier AI in everyday hands.
We put frontier AI to work in everyday hands — wrapping the best models available in small, honest tools for tradespeople, home cooks, and households. We don't build the models; we package them behind plain-spoken interfaces that quote real price ranges, own their limits, and never pretend a chatbot is a contract.
Our vision
The same caliber of AI, for everyone.
A world where a solo contractor, a parent running a household, or a veteran has the same caliber of AI models working for them as any large company — and never has to learn to code, or decode the fine print, to use it. The people who build, cook, fix, and serve already bring the skill; the tool should meet them there and get out of the way.
Our pledge to veterans
Affordable for everyone. Free for veterans wherever we can carry it.
We believe the people who served shouldn’t be priced out of the tools that make work and life easier. So we keep our pods as affordable as we honestly can for everyone — and we go further for veterans. We discount wherever the math allows, and we offer it free wherever we can carry the cost ourselves.
This is a commitment, not a coupon. If you’ve served and a price is the only thing standing between you and a pod, reach out. We’d rather find a way than turn you away.
Corporate social responsibility
Responsibility isn’t a footnote
We’re a small company, but how we operate still leaves a footprint — on the planet, on the partners we choose, and on the communities our pods reach. We hold ourselves to a simple standard: act sustainably, build with people who do the same, and give back where we can.
Operate sustainably
We run lean by design — minimal footprint, efficient compute, no waste we can avoid. As we grow, we measure our environmental impact honestly and work to shrink it, rather than buy our way out of it after the fact.
Choose sustainable partners
We don't build alone, so the companies we build on matter. We favor infrastructure and partners with credible commitments to renewable-powered, responsible operations — and we keep choosing the ones who take their footprint as seriously as we take ours.
Give back to our communities
A small company can still be a good neighbor. We hold ourselves to using what we build to serve the people around us — starting with the veterans and working families our pods are meant to reach.
