Engagements
We're an AI-native product studio. We design, build, and grow software products across four capabilities: product design, engineering, AI systems, and technical growth. Hire us for one or hand us the whole product.
No. Plenty of clients engage us for just design, just a build, or just an AI feature. The advantage: if the project grows, the same team can carry it — no new vendor, no lost context.
Most start with a fixed-scope pilot: a defined outcome, delivered in about 2–4 weeks. It's the lowest-risk way to see real software before committing to more.
Pricing & scope
Pricing depends on scope, but we work in clear, fixed-scope phases so you always know what you're paying for before we start. Tell us what you're building and we'll give you a scoped proposal.
Pilots typically ship in 2–4 weeks. Full builds depend on scope, but we ship in vertical slices so you see working software early and often — not one big reveal at the end.
Process
Senior people — the same ones who scope your project. We don't sell you a senior team and staff it with juniors.
Yes. We can embed as a pod alongside your team, or integrate AI and features into an existing product without a rewrite.
Yes — via a retainer or embedded-team model if you want us to keep building and maintaining after the initial launch.
AI capabilities
Frontend on Next.js / React / TypeScript, backend on Node with REST/GraphQL, mobile on React Native or Flutter, commerce on Shopify / Hydrogen. For AI we're model-agnostic — Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, and open-source — with RAG, fine-tuning, and MCP-based agents. We pick per job, not per trend.
Production. We ship AI with evaluation suites, observability / tracing, guardrails, and cost/latency budgets — the same discipline we bring to any software. If something isn't reliable enough to put in front of your users, we tell you.
Ownership & IP
Yes — completely. You own the code, the infrastructure, and the decisions. We document as we build and hand over cleanly. No lock-in, no black boxes.
We work remotely with clients across time zones. Get in touch and we'll confirm the overlap we can hold for your team.
