We build software
for

We’re a research-driven engineering studio. We build AI products, internal platforms, and back-end infrastructure for research labs, founders, and operations teams.

Trusted by teams whose customers depend on their software.
Research-driven engineering

Built on research, shipped with care.

We start every project with evaluation, prototyping, and applied research, done in-house by the people who’ll write the code.

Applied AI · R&D

AI products grounded in research.

RAG systems, agents, voice automation. Built on top of evaluation, retrieval, and safety work we publish internally and improve every sprint.

Cross-platform · React Native

One codebase, every platform.

We build for web and native mobile (iOS + Android) from a single React Native codebase, with the same engineers and design language across all of them.

How we work

Software that takes the complex problems seriously.

Research platforms, operations systems, and AI products that people rely on. We’re small and careful, and we won’t take on projects we can’t ship with conviction.

01
Built with care.
We sweat the details. Flows, error states, and empty screens all get designed and engineered.
02
We take on hard problems.
The work most studios decline: deep domain logic, regulated environments, and AI in production.
03
Research-driven.
We start with users and evidence. Then we prototype, measure, and rebuild until the system holds up under real load.
Products we own

We build our own products too.

A small portfolio of products we own and operate. The lessons feed straight back into the work we do with partners.

Productized services

Infrastructure we run for our own products, available to yours.

Each of these started as an internal system behind our own products. Today they run as standalone services any platform can plug into. Every one has its own page with the full picture.

Our team

A team built for this kind of work.

We’re a mix of PhDs in AI, senior software engineers, product designers, and a support team spread across three timezones.

AI · ML · HCI
PhDs in AI & ML
In-house researchers in agentic systems, retrieval, applied ML, and human-computer interaction, all working on shipped products.
Full-stack
Senior engineers
Median 10+ years building production systems across web, mobile, and platform infrastructure for institutions and operators.
Quality · reliability
QA & test engineers
Test automation, load and chaos testing, and release engineering keep production quiet.
