Team.

We are a small, close team of practitioners who like hard problems. Our work is helping organisations change how they operate with AI, and what we care about most is that the change is real: systems people use every day, and teams that can keep improving them after we step back.


We are a good blend of people, united by a love of good stories, which shows up in shared obsessions with music, gaming and most things streamable. You'll also likely hear us talking about growing our own vegetables (we have a dedicated #regen Slack channel).

Rui

Engineer

Builds mobile features with agents doing most of the planning, coding and checks. For a client in the mobility industry, he shipped a wallet where AI wrote all the code, with real money moving through it. He also tests whether an agent can QA a mobile app the way a person taps through it.
