AI coding lab · est. 2024

We build softwarethat releases dopamine.

Dopamine Design Labs is an AI-native product studio. We design and ship custom applications, websites, and AI platforms for teams that have outgrown their tools. Production-grade, fast, and obvious to use.

A note from the lab

Most software feels like furniture you don't want to sit on. We build the opposite of that: interfaces with a heartbeat, workflows you actually finish, AI that earns the autonomy it's been given.

Position

We're an AI coding lab, not an agency. Small senior team, no juniors hidden behind a deck.

Output

Production code on day one. Prototypes get committed, deployed, and used, not exported as a PDF.

Operating principle

If a feature can be measured in operator time saved, we'll build it. If it can't, we'll ask why we're building it.

What we build

Six surfaces. One studio.

We don't pick a niche. We pick problems. Every engagement ends with shipped software that someone uses on Monday morning.

01

AI-native applications

Production apps that put a language model at the center of the workflow: RAG over your library, structured generation, copilots that cite their sources.

02

Custom SaaS platforms

Multi-tenant web apps with real auth, real data, and real-time collaboration. We've shipped them across compliance-heavy industries.

03

Mobile + PWA

Flutter, React Native, and installable PWAs. Offline-first when the field needs it, native-feeling everywhere else.

04

Marketing sites that ship

Editorial, fast, and indexable. Not the same template the rest of your category is using.

05

Internal tools & dashboards

The 80% of software no one sees. Where the spreadsheet finally retires.

06

Data + intelligence pipelines

Cron-driven sweeps, classifiers, scorers, and CRM hand-offs. The boring layer underneath the magic.

How we work

Four phases. No theater.

We replace 90 days of decks with a written diagnosis, a working prototype, and a deployed product. Then we stay on the keyboard with you while it lives.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    We spend the first week inside your workflow: calls with the people doing the job, screen-shares of the tools they live in, audit of what's actually painful. We deliver a written diagnosis, not a rough estimate.

  2. 02

    Prototype

    A working prototype in 2–3 weeks. Real flows, real data, opinionated decisions. The point is to argue with something concrete, not chase a Figma file.

  3. 03

    Ship

    Production build with CI, monitoring, and a clean handoff. We deploy and stay on the keyboard with you through the first 30 days of real usage.

  4. 04

    Compound

    Once the product is alive, the work becomes leverage: new surfaces, new automations, new models. We work on retainer with teams that keep finding higher ground.

The stack

Modern tools, used seriously.

We default to Next, Flutter, Tauri, and Anthropic Claude, but pick the smallest stack that ships the result. No prestige tooling.

Let's build something
stupidly good.

Bring us the messiest part of your operation. The thing you've been avoiding because the spreadsheet still kind of works. We build the replacement.
