When DK Studio is useful
Three common
starting points.
Where do most companies start when they bring in AI?
Founders and owners usually come to us with a product to build, an operation to improve, or an AI prototype that needs to become reliable software.
02
An operation held together by manual work.
The process lives across people, spreadsheets, and disconnected tools. You know it should work better.
03
An AI prototype that needs to work in production.
The demo works. Reliability, security, payments, integrations, or product logic do not.
What we do
Software that
earns its keep.
What kind of AI software is actually worth building?
DK Studio builds AI products, internal tools, automations, integrations, and company knowledge systems, with strategy and engineering in the same room.
01
Friction killers
Kill what slows you down.
We remove manual work, disconnected systems, and slow decisions with software built around your operations.
- AI agents and automation
- Internal tools and dashboards
- Integrations
- Company knowledge
Less admin. Fewer handoffs. More capacity.
02
New experiences
Build what does not exist yet.
We turn a product idea or business opportunity into software that real customers and teams can use.
- AI products and MVPs
- Web and mobile apps
- Production rescues
From first scope to production with one senior team.
Bring us the bottleneck or the idea.
You do not need a specification. We will tell you where custom software is useful and where it is not.
How to start
Start with the five-day audit.
Then choose how to build.
What does an AI readiness audit cost, and what do you get?
The audit is the decision point. It tells us what to build, what to ignore, and which engagement fits the work.
First / Decide
The five-day AI Readiness Audit.
We map the processes, pressure-test the opportunities, and turn the best one into a roadmap. If you already built something with AI, the five-day audit starts from your product and code.
What you leave with
Prioritised opportunities
Feasibility and risks
Roadmap and build scope
From $800
Five days
After the audit, choose one path
Path A / One-off
Scope one clear project.
Best when the audit finds one defined outcome. We agree the scope and fixed price, build that specific system, and put it into production.
One project. One agreed outcome.
Path B / Ongoing
Build with an AI Team.
Best when one project needs continuous iteration or the roadmap contains multiple systems. We work through the priorities as your embedded product and engineering team.
One evolving product or multiple priorities.
How to start today.
Bring us the bottleneck, unfinished product, or idea. The free call checks fit. If there is a real opportunity, the five-day AI Readiness Audit creates the plan.
Client work
Selected engagements.
What kind of projects have you actually shipped?
Strategy and engineering in the same room, from the five-day AI Readiness Audit to working products.
DK Studio / AI Readiness Audit
Yecora
PaymentsSecurityRoadmap
AI Readiness Audit / Interim team
Yecora, the audit that changed the build.
One audit uncovered payment risk, missing platform revenue, and a sharper market position. We stayed to build.

Trackable bookingsCASE 02Booking / Payments / Attribution
Templlo, from traffic to measurable purchases.
We integrated booking, payments, and purchase tracking so completed reservations can inform campaign decisions.

Web + iOS + AndroidCASE 03AI product / End-to-end build
Clarity, one product across three platforms.
We designed, engineered, and launched the recovery-support product across web, iOS, and Android, then ran its first growth motion.

Beta testingCASE 04AI product / Mobile
Soirr, from specification to beta.
A complete product specification became Maestro, its data layer, and a mobile product now in beta testing.

How do I get my business mentioned by ChatGPT and Google's AI?
We help brands appear accurately in AI-generated answers and recommendations.
Ask Perplexity, logged out, “Best WhatsApp check-in tool for fitness coaches” and NudgeCheck, built and operated by DK, is the first recommendation. No ads.
We build the system that gets a product, site, or business found and recommended across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude. It is the same engine we run on our own products.
Generative engine visibility
How we work
Strategy and engineering in the same room.
Do I need to hire a strategist and a developer separately?
Not a strategy deck handed off to somebody else. The same team scopes and builds.
Built to your logic.
We learn how your business thinks, decides, and operates before designing the system. We do not drop a template into your stack.
Senior people stay close.
The people who frame the problem remain involved in the decisions and the build. No account-manager relay.
Working software, short loops.
You see real progress early. We test assumptions, expose trade-offs, and adjust from evidence instead of disappearing until launch.
Built past the demo
Production is part of the product.
Will this be a prototype, or something we can actually run?
How DK Studio takes AI products from prototype to reliable production.
A serious AI product studio has to do more than connect a model to an interface. We design how it works, fails, learns, and creates value in the real business.
01
Product framing and AI UX
We define the real job, the right human decisions, and how the product should behave when the model is uncertain.
02
Models, data, and retrieval
We choose the model and architecture around the use case, then connect the knowledge and tools the product actually needs.
03
Evals, monitoring, and fallbacks
We test the important outputs, log what happens in production, and design safe paths for the cases AI cannot handle.
04
Launch and iteration
We deploy, instrument, and improve from real user behaviour and business signals. The demo is not the finish line.
Strategy and engineering stay together from the first question to production.
The people in the kitchen
You get the founders.

Talk to us
Bring the messy version.
Gi or Christian will look at the problem with you and tell you whether the five-day AI Readiness Audit would be useful.
Good questions. Clear answers.
What founders and owners usually need to know before a first call.
An AI product studio combines business strategy, product decisions, design, and engineering in one team. We identify the right problem, shape the product or system, build it, and put it into production.
Yes. DK works as the interim product and engineering team for non-technical founders and owners. You bring the business context and customer understanding. We handle product framing, technical decisions, and the build.
Yes. We review the product, code, architecture, security, data, payments, and user experience. The five-day AI Readiness Audit can start from what already exists and show what should be repaired, rebuilt, or left alone.
Yes. We build AI agents, internal tools, integrations, and workflow automations around the systems your team already uses. We start with the process and business rules, then choose the technology.
We map the business problem, inspect the relevant processes or product, test feasibility, identify risks, and define the strongest opportunity. You leave with priorities, a roadmap, and a clear build scope.
The five-day AI Readiness Audit starts at $800. The final fixed price depends on the product, codebase, integrations, and depth of review, and is agreed before the work begins.
It depends on the product, integrations, data, and risk. A focused one-off project can take weeks. A larger product or roadmap takes longer. The five-day AI Readiness Audit produces the realistic scope and timeline before the build begins.
Both. After the five-day AI Readiness Audit, a defined outcome can become a fixed-price one-off project. Products that need continuous iteration, or businesses with several priorities, can move into an ongoing engagement.
Start with a free 30-minute fit call with Gi or Christian. We look at the problem and tell you whether there is a useful next step. If there is, the paid starting point is the five-day AI Readiness Audit, starting at $800.
The kitchen is open
Bring us the messy version.
What do you need from me to get started?
A bottleneck, a product idea, or an AI prototype that needs to become reliable software. You do not need a technical brief.
I have a bottleneck.
A process is eating time. We find the highest-leverage place to remove the friction.
I have a product to build.
We test what is worth building and turn it into a clear product roadmap.
I built something with AI.
It works in the demo. We make it reliable and ready for real users.
