An atlas of the possible.
Spring 2026.
Plate I — A First SketchOur most exciting projects are simple ideas. “Can AI make a graphic novel for me?” It spurs creativity that can run free because we are no longer worried about the details of the implementation, but can think in the spaces of possibilities.
The unglamorous plumbing of software used to absorb most of a builder’s attention. AI hands it back, and what’s left is the part that always mattered: what could exist that doesn’t yet, and whether it’s worth making.
So that’s where the studio lives now — not deep in the weeds of any one stack, but in the kind of conversation where someone says “wouldn’t it be great if…” and we say let’s try it Tuesday afternoon and see.
We build fast, on foundations that hold. Decades of experience make both possible.
It starts with a conversation — ideally over a drink. Bring the half-formed idea. We've spent decades turning thoughts like it into running systems, so we'll know quickly what's possible, what it takes, and where to start.
Step 1 of 3Then we put hands on it. We move quickly because the foundations are second nature — security, privacy, and architecture that scales go in from day one, not bolted on later. A working system in days, built to last years.
Step 2 of 3A working system changes what you can imagine. The ideas get bigger — new loops, new tools, territory nobody saw at the start — while experience keeps the focus tight: build the next thing that matters, not everything at once.
Step 3 of 3“The business of every art
is to bring something
into existence.”
A triptych from the spring run — one shipped and quietly running, two on the bench and headed out the door.
Daisy, cf. diarization — the work of telling one voice from another in a room.
A desktop meeting assistant that records, transcribes, and summarises meetings locally or against your own LLM API keys. No bots on the call. Audio and keys never leave your laptop. A pre-paid version is also available. Linux first; Windows and macOS in the works.
Billie, cf. the timesheet — and every billable hour that ever filled one.
Simplify capturing time and generating invoices. Billie keeps you company and on track with AI-assisted time entry and analysis. For consultants and professionals who bill time, or for anyone who values privacy. No screen captures, no passive monitoring.
Ada, cf. Ada Lovelace, the first computer programmer.
Ada is your second brain, allowing you to offload everything you know and manage all of your tasks. Accounting, expenses, booking flights, tracking prices. No limits.
Apps, agents, and automations — built for people, teams, and organizations. We take a small number of engagements each season.
