Our flagship product
Meet Sammy.
Finally, a personal assistant.
Sammy remembers your life, checks in at the right moments, and helps get things done. As simple as a conversation, easy from the first tap, and private by design.

What we build
Four things we do well.
The shape varies. The standard doesn't. Everything we ship is built like Sammy.
-
AI agents for your workflows
Agents that take real work off your desk: triage, drafting, research, follow-ups. They run inside the tools you already use and know when to hand back to a human.
-
AI-native products, end to end
From napkin sketch to app store. We design, build, and run products with AI in the architecture from the first line of code.
-
AI retrofits for existing systems
We wire modern models into the software your business already runs on, legacy systems included, without breaking what works.
-
AI advisory from a working engineer
A clear read on what AI can and cannot do for your business. You leave with a plan you can act on, not a fifty-page deck.
iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, web. One small studio, every platform your business runs on.
Our principles
Engineered to be trusted.
Anyone can demo AI. Making it dependable is the hard part. Three principles govern everything we ship.
-
Production-grade from day one.
AI features look impressive in a sandbox and break in production. We ship AI software your team can rely on: monitored, maintainable, and built for the messiness of real businesses.
-
Vendor-independent by design.
The AI landscape changes month to month. Whether it's Anthropic, OpenAI, or open-weight models, we architect so you're never locked into one provider, and you can swap as better options emerge.
-
Data discipline, built in.
What flows to AI providers is minimised, encrypted, and bound by commercial terms that prohibit training. Privacy and compliance reviewers should leave happy: your business data stays exactly where it should.
How we work
Scoped in days. Shipped in weeks.
Working with a small studio should feel like it. Four steps, no ceremony.
-
Scope fast.
A call, a tight brief, a fixed first milestone. You know the cost and the date before you commit a dollar.
-
Ship every week.
A working build in your hands from the first week. Progress you can tap, not a status report.
-
Talk to the builder.
One point of contact: the engineer writing your code. Every question lands with the person who can answer it.
-
Stay past launch.
Monitoring, updates, and straight answers about what to build next. Software is a relationship, not a handover.
The company
A product studio in Melbourne.
Keep DS exists to build software worth trusting. We handle the full stack ourselves, from cloud infrastructure to native apps, and we sweat the details most shops skip: privacy architecture, monitoring, the last five percent that makes software feel finished.
We're deliberately small. A senior engineer leads every project from the first call to the final release, with no account managers or handoffs along the way.
