AI & software studio · est. 2023

Build the boring true thing.

We build the AI features your team would build if you had six more months. Then we hand them back to you, working, in production, documented.

What we do

Three things, done thoroughly.

We don't list ten capabilities. We do three deeply, and we say no to the rest. If it doesn't fit, we'll point you at someone who does it well.

01

AI features that ship

Retrieval, agents, fine-tuning, evals — all the parts you've been half-prototyping, finished and wired into your product.

02

Backend rewrites

The unsexy work. We replace the part of your stack that's slowing the rest of your team down, without a six-month migration.

How we scope
03

Product partnerships

For founders without a CTO yet. We become the technical co-founder for 6–12 months, then transition the build to your hire.

Engagement terms

3 wks.

Median engagement length before the client has something running in production they didn't have before.

They told us what wouldn't work before we paid for it. That alone paid for the engagement twice over.
