An AI studio for solo founders and small teams

AI that holds up in production.

A solo founder working as your forward-deployed engineer, with AI agents doing the legwork. We help you decide, then we build and ship it.

Services

Bring us the problem.

From the first strategy call to a system your customers use. Every engagement leaves you with something you keep.

Engagements: Coach, Co-build, Deliver.

A decision memo

AI consulting & strategy

Start here

We show where AI makes sense, help you choose the right models, and tailor them to your product and data.

You bring
One real question and access to the data behind it.
If it’s a no
You still keep the memo and the reasoning.
Then
Build it with us, or take the memo and run.
  • A production system

    Product engineering

    Launched fast in your repo, with its checks and monitoring. No over-engineering, and a clear path for when you grow.

  • Agent workflows you own

    Marketing & distribution

    Content and outreach workflows inside the tools you already use. Run and improved with you, with a progress note on what moved.

  • Playbooks for your codebase

    Training & workshops

    Hands-on sessions on your own code and real problems. We coach, co-build, or take on full delivery, whatever helps you move faster.

Why us

We don’t just advise.
We ship.

The memo is where we start, not where we stop. Most AI advice ends in a deck. Ours ends in a system your customers use, with the evidence that it works.

Forward-deployed engineer

FDE · noun

An engineer who works inside your product, not beside it: in your repo, your chat and your review calls. At Missing Studio that is the founder, with a fleet of AI agents doing the legwork.

  • You talk to the person doing the work.
  • Not a tool you configure or an agency that hands you off: one engineer, accountable from memo to production.
  • You own the code and the checks, and how it all works is written down.

How the studio runs

One founder.
A fleet of agents.

Agents research, draft and test. Nothing reaches your product without the founder’s review.

  1. Your request

    in your chat or
    on a review call

  2. The founder scopes it

    and decides
    what gets built

  3. A fleet of agents

    working in parallel

    • research
    • drafts
    • code
    • tests
  4. The founder reviews

    before anything
    reaches your product

    Or it is sent back with notes

  5. Ships to your product

    with the checks
    that prove it

The same loop, sized to your product, is what we build for you

How we work

Production rigor.
Solo-founder speed.

Before we build, we agree in plain words what good looks like for your product. It goes live when it gets there, and not before.

Typical product build

Only need the strategy? We can stop after you Decide

  1. Decide

    We map the work, pick one job worth doing, and agree the bar it must clear.

    Output: Decision memo

  2. Prove

    We test on your real examples, not demos, and keep what passes.

    Output: Test results on your data

  3. Build

    In your repo, in short cycles you can see, behind a flag until it’s ready.

    Output: Working system

  4. Launch

    It goes live when it clears the bar. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t ship.

    Output: Runbook, monitoring

High agency

High agency, on both sides.

A high-agency founder sets the course instead of drifting. So we agree who does what before any work starts, and we write it down.

From you

  • One decision-maker in the loop
  • System and data access from the start
  • Time to review the work

From us

  • The person who plans it builds it
  • Progress you can see, as work ships
  • Trade-offs stated plainly, in writing

Missing AI OS

We build the layers a business runs on.

One AI-native operating layer for your people, agents and apps. Each engagement adds a layer, so the work compounds instead of piling up as pilots.

Any model
Switch models without rewiring.
One context
Every tool reads the same memory.
Your tools
Built on the tools you already use.
  1. Peopledecide, review, approve
  2. Appsthe tools you already use
  3. Agentsdo the work, show the evidence
  4. Workflows & controlspermissions, evals, cost limits
  5. Context & dataone shared memory for your tools
The operating layer we build toward

Where this goes

The frontier of autonomous companies.

We build the environments and infrastructure for businesses run with agents, one deployed system at a time, starting with yours.
