What We've Built

Real products solving real problems. Each one started as an experiment to scratch our own itch.

How We Work

The Lab Model

We believe small AI-powered teams can build what used to require much larger organizations. Each product is an experiment to test that thesis.

  1. 01

    Start with a real problem

    Every product begins as something we actually need. We're the first customer, every time. If we wouldn't pay for it, why would anyone else?

  2. 02

    Build small, ship fast

    A tiny team with no coordination overhead and AI as the second pair of hands. Ideas become products in days, not quarters.

  3. 03

    Learn out loud

    Ship it, use it, learn from real users. Some experiments flop — that's the model working. We write down what we learn either way.
