AI products, built end to end.
We build new AI-native products from idea to launch. The kind where AI isn't a feature you bolted on. It's the reason the product exists in the first place.
Talk to usEverything a new AI product needs to actually ship.
Building an AI-native product isn't just engineering. It's design, infra, evals, and a launch plan, all moving together. Here's what a full build with us looks like.
Product design and UX
We design the whole product: flows, screens, interaction patterns, and the AI behaviour itself. Designed for the way people actually use AI tools, not retrofitted from a dashboard template.
Full-stack product engineering
Frontend, backend, data layer, auth, billing, and the AI pipeline, all built by the same team. One group of people accountable for the whole product, not a stitched-together set of contractors.
Evaluations and observability
Eval harnesses from day one so you know whether each release is actually better. Logging, traces, and dashboards for prompts, tool calls, costs, and latency, so the product gets sharper as it meets real users.
Infra and cost controls
Hosting, queues, model routing, caching, rate limits, and per-customer cost guardrails. The unsexy stuff that keeps an AI product working at 10 users and at 10,000, without surprise bills.
Launch and go-to-market support
Marketing site, onboarding, pricing, analytics, Product Hunt assets, launch sequencing. We've launched our own AI product, so we know what actually moves the needle on day one.
An ongoing product partnership
After launch we stay on as your product team, shipping new features, tuning prompts and evals, watching the metrics, and helping decide what to build next. Not ship-and-vanish.
How we work
6 week product cycles that always launch.
Build your vision with our 6-week product cycles. A small senior team, AI-amplified end-to-end, geared up to launch your idea in six weeks.
Why 6 Weeks? It's the Goldilocks Zone - Striking the perfect balance between allowing enough time to build something meaningful, while being short enough to keep risks low!
Whether its an MVP, prototype, or feature in a existing product, our 6 week cycles make sure you have something tangible at the end of the project.
Sounds cool! Tell me more01: Discovery
Refine your ideas and plan what will be launched in 6 weeks.
02: Kick-off
We get cracking. Design, code, and AI work happen in parallel from day one.
03: Check-in
On week 3 get ready for an exciting demo of progress.
04: Build & Iterate
Continue work and integrate feedback from the check-in.
05: Pre-launch
A check-in before launch to tie up loose ends and get ready.
06: Launch
The big day is here, you idea is launched to the whole world.
What we usually build.
- 01
Vertical AI SaaS
Full products built around a specific industry (legal, healthcare, finance, property, recruitment). Domain-shaped UX, domain-shaped data, and AI tuned to the work people in that field actually do.
- 02
AI-native writing and collaboration tools
Editors, assistants, and workspaces where the AI is the core loop, not a sidebar. We build the interaction model, the document model, the multiplayer layer, and the model orchestration as one product.
- 03
Voice-first products
Apps where the primary interface is talking. Discovery calls, coaching, language tools, accessibility products. We design the conversational flow, build the real-time stack, and wire it into the rest of the product.
- 04
AI tools for niche professional workflows
Software for the specific job that nobody's bothered to build for yet (ops, research, compliance, education, creative production). Built in close partnership with people who do the work, so the product fits the workflow instead of fighting it.
- 05
Internal AI products for teams
Standalone internal products (not a Slack bot, an actual app) that change how an ops, research, or support team works. Owned by you, integrated with your stack, and built for the people inside the company.

AI products, shipped to production.
Chat Thing is our own product, designed, built, and run by the same team you'd work with. Alongside it, recent client products like HeyYou and Orbit. Every lesson from running our own thing feeds straight back into the work we do for clients.
Chat Thing
Chat Thing is our first in house product that allows users to create magic AI chatbots
Building HeyYou a production AI security platform in 8 weeks
HeyYou had a working AI prototype. Pixelhop built the launchable product: a multi-tenant platform with deep Axis camera integration, all live in 8 weeks.
Orbit: AI grant scraping for Grants Online
An AI grant scraping pipeline that turned a year of manual review into minutes per grant.
Things people ask.
How long does it take to build an AI product?
Typically 4 to 12 weeks for a launch-ready MVP, depending on scope. Bigger products with more surfaces, more integrations, or stricter compliance needs run longer. We'll scope it honestly at the start rather than promise a date we can't hit.
What's the engagement model: project, retainer, or equity?
Usually a fixed-scope build for the initial MVP, then a monthly product partnership once it's live. We've also done equity and revenue-share arrangements for the right founders. We'll talk through what fits before any contracts.
Do you handle design as well as engineering?
Yes. Product design, UX, branding, the marketing site, and the engineering all come from the same team. You don't need to hire a separate agency for the design or coordinate handoffs. It's one group of people end to end.
Do you handle infra and deployment?
Yes. We set up hosting, CI/CD, model routing, caching, queues, and the cost and rate-limit guardrails an AI product actually needs. We work with the providers that make sense for your stack rather than pushing one default.
What happens after launch?
Most clients keep us on as their product team. We ship new features, tune prompts and evals against real usage, watch the metrics, and help decide what's worth building next. If you'd rather take it in-house, we hand it over cleanly.
Can you help with launch and go-to-market?
Yes. Marketing site, onboarding, pricing pages, analytics, Product Hunt assets, launch sequencing, early-access programmes. We launched Chat Thing ourselves, so we've been through the same loop you're about to run.
