Product studio · London & Tokyo
Senior product team.
Brief to App Store.
Three senior engineers — iOS, backend, and AI architecture — who take products from blank page to live on the App Store and the web, and keep them healthy after.
What we build
Backend goes well beyond CRUD: multi-tenant architectures, real-time event systems, and AI orchestration across multiple models. Systems a business can scale into, not grow out of.
AI agent systems
Persistent memory, cross-tool reasoning, MCP. Agents that remember, act, and get work done — not chatbots.
Native mobile
iOS & macOS in SwiftUI. App Store rejection patterns caught before they reach review.
Full-stack web
TypeScript, Node.js, Python, AWS. Clean architecture a small team can actually maintain.
Product partnership
Architecture, build, ship, iterate. One accountable senior team for the full product cycle.
The team
Small, senior, selective. No subcontracting, no handoffs to juniors.

London, UKRecent work
We build and support our own products in production. Every choice we defend to a client is one we've already lived with at 2am.
AI platform
Appy
Agentic platform that generates native mobile apps end-to-end from a URL or brief. Multi-agent orchestration: research, design, code, App Store review.
Multi-tenant mobile
Places App — Branded storefronts
White-label ordering platform running across dozens of fully branded iOS and web storefronts in production. Independent App Store entities, shared backend.
Native POS
Places App — POS
iPad-first restaurant POS with offline-first reconciliation. Unified online + in-store order flow, hardware abstraction, optimised for kitchen pressure.
