Frankenstein — an AI studio.

Good systems are assembled, not bought.

We assemble yours.

Talk to us

Every system starts the same way.No two finish alike.

The moving parts

Every build starts inside the business, not with the AI. We map how work actually moves: the tools, the routines, the places everything waits on one person.

The base layer

Cortex is the base layer: a proven system that joins the tools already in play. We start from something that works, never from a blank page.

A tailored fit

Then it's fitted to the business: its workflows, its rules, its edge cases. Routines clear in the background; only what needs your eyes reaches you.

Cortex: One place to run it all.

One brain behind the tools the business already uses. It holds what the team knows, clears routine work in the background, and brings forward only what needs a person.

See how Cortex runs
An old-school nine-key numpad in cream plastic, seen from above. Its coiled cable runs off to the right, the fn key sits at the centre, and the eight keys around it are printed with the logos of everyday business tools.

A working studio not an agency.

We run on the same kind of system we build for clients. We came up building tech in San Francisco and teaching the math that AI runs on. The people who build Cortex are the people you'll talk to.

Two or three sentences is plenty. We read every line ourselves, and a person replies.

This goes straight to the three of us. We reply ourselves, and we don't share it.
