AI studio vs software house
A software house is the right call when you already know exactly what to build. When you do not, it builds the wrong thing well.
| Studio Labs | Software house | |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | An agent live in production, at the decision that moves your funnel | What you spec'd, built to order |
| Finds the problem | Yes, we map where conversion breaks first | No, you bring the spec |
| Who builds it | The senior squad that designed it | Whoever is assigned to the build |
| Production guardrails | SLA, auth, RLS, evals, observability | Only if you specified them |
| Outcome vs output | Measured in your funnel | Measured by the spec delivered |
| Code ownership | Yours, from day one | Usually yours |
When a software house is right
If you already know exactly what to build and just need hands to build it, a software house is efficient. You own the spec, they execute it, and the risk is on your definition of the work.
When you need a studio instead
When the real question is which decision to automate, a build-to-spec shop cannot help you find it, and rarely owns the result once the contract ends. We start from the decision that moves your funnel, build the agent that runs it in production, and level up your team to run the next ones.
