Engineering studio · Palo Alto

Engineered by hand.
Run by agents.

Custom AI agents, the platforms they run on, and the operating models behind them. Built for a small group of companies that operate.

Frontier models, every lab AnthropicOpenAIGoogle DeepMindMetaMistral
Platform

Agents that do the work, and everything they need to keep doing it.

One team owns the agent, the software around it, and the numbers that say whether it is working.

Agents

Tool use over typed schemas

Multi-step orchestration with idempotent steps, retries with backoff, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints where the stakes call for one. Retrieval over your own systems, not a generic index.

Model Tools Systems evals and checkpoints on every loop
Platforms

The software around the agent

Web properties, serverless functions, integrations and internal tools, built as versioned packs and deployed on a global CDN.

Models

Model-agnostic by design

Frontier models selected per task and evaluated on your data. A swap is a config change, not a rewrite.

Operating models

Numbers that tie out

Dashboards, mobile tools and financial workbooks that reconcile to the ledger, built for the people who open them daily.

Ongoing

We stay on after launch

Updates, new capabilities and the occasional rethink, on a simple retainer with a stamp on every release.

Engineering

How it is built.

The stack and the discipline, so an engineer can read this page and know what to expect.

Models
Frontier models from every major lab, selected per task and evaluated on your data: Anthropic, OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Meta, Mistral. Prompt caching, streaming, structured outputs, and eval suites that run on every prompt change.
Agents
Tool use and function calling over typed schemas. Multi-step orchestration with idempotent steps, retries with backoff, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints. Regression tests on agent behavior before anything ships.
Stack
TypeScript end to end. Postgres with row-level security. Serverless and edge functions. Event-driven integrations with idempotent webhooks and dead-letter queues. Infrastructure as code. Static-first delivery with immutable, content-hashed assets.
Delivery
Trunk-based development. Continuous integration with a preview deploy per change. Versioned build stamps on every release. Automated visual, accessibility (WCAG 2.2 AA) and performance regression. Zero-downtime releases with one-step rollback.
Observability
OpenTelemetry traces, structured logs, error budgets, and per-client dashboards for uptime, latency and model spend.
People
Senior engineers with experience at major software companies, working directly with founders and operators. Small team by design.
Security

Built for regulated operators.

Healthcare was the first client, so the controls came first.

HIPAA-aware data handling Signed BAAs where PHI is involved Controls aligned to SOC 2 Encryption in transit and at rest Least-privilege access Secrets in a managed vault Audit logging
Openings

The books are closed.

We take on a small number of companies and stay with them. If you have a project and want to know whether an opening comes up, write to us. You will get a straight answer either way.
