Your day, already sorted.
A daily briefing pulls together your calendar, reminders, and to-dos before you ask. One glance and you know exactly where the day stands.
Keep accelerating.
We build AI agents, AI-native apps, and custom software that hold up in production. Our flagship, Sammy, is the proof.
Our flagship product
Meet Sammy.
A real assistant, in your pocket.
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 day one, not bolted on at the end.
AI retrofits for existing systems
The software your business already runs on, made smarter. We wire modern models into legacy systems without breaking what works.
Advisory, minus the theatre
A working engineer's answer to what AI can and cannot do for you. No fifty-page decks, no buzzwords, just a plan you can act on.
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, not demos.
AI features look impressive in a sandbox and break in production. We ship AI-enhanced software your team can actually 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 at the architecture layer.
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. Questions get answers, not tickets.
-
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: senior engineering only, no account managers, no handoffs. The person you talk to is the person who builds your software.
