01 Build

Your first call is with the person who builds it.

01 / Websites

Briefed on Monday, live by Saturday.

Hire us for this

Already have a site? The audit is free and all it needs is the URL.

Most of what we make is for small businesses, from one-page launch sites to shops that take bookings. Before launch every site goes through 13 checks graded by Google’s and the W3C’s own tools, so you can re-run them yourself.

  • Chérie Chérie, a nightlife and culture collective in Paris
  • Lalo, a language app that teaches 132 language pairs
  • Marina San Carlos, a marina on the Sea of Cortez that stopped taking berth enquiries by phone

02 / Automation

Admin that runs itself.

Hire us for this

Automation usually comes built into an agentic site, or we scope it with you on a free call.

Think of the enquiries sitting in a shared inbox, or the invoice nobody has chased since March. We connect the tools you already pay for, like Gmail, Stripe and Slack, so those jobs run on their own and a person only sees the ones that need a decision.

  • Meetball, a community startup in Lisbon, whose notification emails we built

03 / Software

Tools built around how you work.

Hire us for this

Every custom build starts with a 30-minute call, and the call is free.

We built HQ because no agency tool matched how we sell and deliver client work. If your process lives in five browser tabs and one person’s head, that is the kind of thing we would build for you.

  • HQ, the console our client work runs on
  • Jarvis, Matteo’s personal AI assistant
  • M Brain, Max’s second brain, forked from GBrain

All services
03 Research

AI research by our members.

Our members simulate elections with AI agents and write policy research on AI and work, on their own or with an outside institution. Matteo’s report on workplace risk came out through VOYCE.

  • Method

    Multi-agent simulation

    We give dozens of AI agents a voter profile, let them talk to each other for a hundred rounds and read the forecast off what they end up doing. No polling data goes in.

  • Topic

    AI and work

    Who keeps the productivity gains when a company brings in AI, and what happens to the people whose jobs change around it.

  • Partners

    Published with institutions

    Members sign their own work and often publish through a partner. Our report on workplace risk came out through VOYCE’s Technology Commission in 2025–26.
