a lit room. a running slice.
most ai work goes dark the second you pay — or dies as a pilot in a folder. ours stays lit. you watch a real path move. every step. while it happens.

// why we built it this way
you've been on the other side of this. two weeks of silence. a pilot that never leaves the folder. the slow dread that you hired a black box while the burn clock ran.
we're a solo studio — one person, awake at 3am, who got tired of hearing it. so nothing here is hidden. free sample first. a room you can watch. keys at ship.
spike · slice · harden
named on the call when the clock needs a shape. not sold as a coupon strip.
- spike
something real before the big bill. free sample or paid. running, not a mock.
- slice
one vertical path you can live in — model path, one user path, one honest claim.
- harden
make it boring where it should be boring. evals, trust, handoff.
default if you're unsure: start with a spike. or just book a call.
- 01your clock · no discovery theater
tell us what you're building.
the path, the user, the date it has to be real. a call if you want one — your clock, not a "discovery session." we listen. we don't pitch.
- 02free sample · or paid spike · running
something real before the big bill.
before you owe us for the long arc. no card on the free sample. we just need to see what you see — a vertical slice when the brief allows, not a moodboard.
- 03the forge · live in the build room
one vertical path you can live in.
the work happens in a room you can watch. chat, the live to-do, a running timer, every file. model path, one user path, one honest claim — not five demos in a deck.
- 04evals · trust · handoff
make it boring where it should be boring.
auth that holds. evals that fail the bad prompt. guardrails where the model can hurt you. handoff so you don't need us at 3am every night. then we ship — every file, every prompt file, every eval set. yours. no hostage code.
- 0590 days · ops feed optional
launch isn't goodbye.
most of the time it's the start of the next thing — we'd rather keep building with you than move on. if you'd rather take it from here, you keep 90 days of us: fixes, questions, a hand when something breaks. nobody gets dropped the day after launch.
your project, in a window you own.
chat, the live to-do, a running timer, every file and link in one place. one password. no signup. it opens when we start and closes when we're done.
- the live to-do — what's done, what's next — updated as it happens.
- chat that gets answered — no ticket queue. one studio, one thread.
- the timer's honest — real hours on your build, in the open.
- files + links — every deliverable, prompt file, and login in one place.
want to see what we'd make for you?
tell us what you're building. we'll send something back — a vertical slice when the brief allows. free. not a deck. worst case, you get a free thing.
