The lab

Products.

Client work funds the studio. The studio funds products. Two product lines are in the lab now — named, as tradition requires, after the studio cats.

Frida

The lightning-fast CMS + CRM builder. Ferocious, independent, zero dependencies — like her namesake, she hunts alone.

Frida deploys a complete, branded business engine in a day — the same one running this site, Oregon Counselors, and Rose Real Estate.

  • Custom content types + field builder — pages, articles, portfolios, products, anything; add fields from the dashboard, no code.
  • Edit-as-you-browse — inline rich editing on the live page, drag-and-drop galleries, image cropping, AJAX saves.
  • The CRM half — leads, contacts, customers, tasks, automations, and instant-reply mail out of the box.
  • Compartmentalized by design — content and CRM live in separate databases with separate credentials; a leaked key exposes only its own pool.
  • No plugin roulette — one dependency-free PHP engine you own outright, fast on shared hosting, faster everywhere else.

Ferocious performance, independent operation. Ask about the beta.

Pippin

The agentic harness builder. Sweet, nurturing, and quietly everywhere — custom agent flows your team can actually trust.

Pippin designs and ships production agent systems — the discipline behind this site's grounded assistant and the Nemotron Agent Lab.

  • Grounded from day one — retrieval over your real data, so agents quote facts instead of inventing them.
  • Guardrails as architecture — dedicated safety models screening every turn, topical fences, and honest refusals.
  • Multi-model by default — Groq, NVIDIA Nemotron, Claude; primary + fallback wiring so one outage never takes the agent down.
  • Agents that do work — lead capture, CRM filing, dashboard copilots, workflow automation; harnesses, tools, and evaluation loops, not just chatbots.
  • Nurtured after launch — transcripts reviewed, knowledge tended, behavior tuned as your business changes.

Gentle with your team, protective of your customers. Ask about the beta.
