Your AI product, built by people who have shipped a lot of them.
You have the idea. We bring the senior engineering to make it real: figuring out what today’s AI models can actually do for your product, choosing the right approach, and building a web, mobile or desktop app your customers can pay for.
You talk to the engineer who builds it. No account managers, no hand-offs.

Is this you?
- You have an AI product idea and need a technical partner to build it
- You want a real MVP, not a demo, with payments, accounts and an admin
- You’re not technical and want someone who explains decisions in plain English
- You’ve been burned by an agency that handed you off to juniors
What we build
AI SaaS products
Subscription products with AI at the core: accounts, teams, usage-based credits, Stripe billing and an admin to run it.
Generative media apps
Image, video and voice generation with the major models, including fine-tuning pipelines and the queues to run them at scale.
Assistants and agents
Chat interfaces, tool-calling agents and multi-step workflows that take real actions in your product.
Marketplaces and trading platforms
Complex products with order matching, payments between users and real-time data. We’ve built two of them.
Web, mobile and desktop
React and Next.js on the web, React Native for iOS and Android, and desktop apps when your users live there.
Search and recommendations
Embeddings, vector search and scoring that make your product feel smart rather than generic.

Signa
Signa proved its idea for AI jewelry design with a Replit prototype. We built it into a production B2B platform with business accounts, subscription billing, AI image generation and automated workflows.

For AI-built apps, new AI products and automations
Built something with Lovable, Replit, v0, Bolt or Cursor? A senior engineer reviews your code, security, payments, data and hosting and tells you what to keep, fix or rebuild. Planning a new AI product or automation? We test it on a sample of your real data and work out the models, running costs and architecture. Either way, you get a clear path to launch and a quote to get there, 100% credited toward your build.

Questions
How much does an AI MVP cost?
Builds depend on scope more than anything, so there’s no fixed price list. After a free strategy call or a $1,499 Launch Blueprint you get either a fixed price for clear milestones or a monthly plan from $2,900 while the scope is still moving. The fee is credited back when you build with us.
How long does it take?
Much faster than you’d expect. Products that take a typical team months or years to launch, we deliver in weeks or months, in milestones with a demo every week. You get a realistic timeline up front, and we tell you early if anything threatens it.
Which AI models do you use?
OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, open-source models, ElevenLabs, Replicate, Fal and more. We pick based on quality and running cost for your use case, and design so you can switch later.
Who owns the code?
You do. All code, accounts and IP are yours from day one, in repositories and cloud accounts you control.
Can you help me figure out what to build?
Yes. That’s what the Launch Blueprint is for: we test the idea on a sample of your real data, work out the model costs and architecture, and hand you a plan and a quote.
