Product Lab
AI product development for NZ founders — from research to working prototype
You have deep insight into a market gap. You need research + building partners.
No commitment — just a conversation to see if we're a fit.
What You Get
Market research, validation, prototype, and launch strategy in 16 weeks
AI-First Architecture
We design systems where AI is core, not bolted-on. Your product leverages machine learning from day one.
Rapid Iteration
Weekly releases, continuous feedback. See progress in days, not months.
Technical Partnership
We don't just build—we coach. Your team grows capabilities alongside the product.
Scalable Foundation
Start lean but build for growth. Architecture that scales when you need it.
Our experience
7 plus customers, 3 raising capital currently. We have helped founders turn ideas into products that raise capital and win customers.

What We Bring
A complete research and build team. You get five disciplines working together — design, product, engineering, data, and security — to validate and build your product.
Design & Product
UX Design
User research, jobs-to-be-done mapping, and usability testing with real users — validated flows before a line of code is written.
UI & Brand
Production-ready, mobile-first interfaces delivered as a complete design system — not mockups that die in Figma.
Product Strategy
We determine what to build, in what order, and for which customer — validated problem statement, prioritised roadmap, go-to-market sequencing.
Engineering
Software Development
Fullstack production systems across web, mobile, and API — clean architecture, deployed to production, code you own outright.
AI & LLM Integration
LLMs, vision, and voice integrated directly into production software — RAG pipelines, prompt engineering, model orchestration, built in from day one.
Data & Security
Data Engineering
Data architecture, ETL/ELT pipelines, and analytics layers built at project start — so AI features have reliable, well-structured inputs from first release.
Data Science
Predictive modelling, anomaly detection, and recommendation systems that move clients from raw data to decisions that act automatically.
Security
Threat modelling, secure API design, and role-based access control built in by default — auditable, compliant systems for production environments.
Our Process
Validate
Test assumptions, define MVP scope, validate technical feasibility.
Build
Core product development with weekly releases and continuous testing.
Launch
Deployment, monitoring setup, and go-to-market support.
Scale
Feature expansion, performance optimization, and growth support.
