A small studio for applied AI.

AppCubic started in 2019 as a hands-on building practice. Today it is the studio behind applied AI products, research workflows, and advisory work for technical teams.

The work stays close to implementation. AppCubic cares about systems that survive contact with real workflows: LLM orchestration with clear tool boundaries, evaluation loops, data movement, product surfaces people actually use, and the operational choices that make a prototype worth continuing.

What AppCubic builds around

The studio draws on several streams of work: e-commerce and logistics systems, advisory for early teams, LLM decision support, camera-based motion understanding, and research tooling. What ties them together is not a vertical. It is the habit of turning uncertain technical work into something a team can operate.

Open source

Much of the studio's agent tooling is public. App Automaton is the open-source side of AppCubic: portable skills for coding agents, document and web tooling, multi-agent orchestration, and pure-MLX models for Apple Silicon, all MIT licensed on GitHub.

How the work is framed

AppCubic treats AI as infrastructure for decisions and workflows rather than as a decorative feature. Useful systems need retrieval and context design, honest evaluation, clear points for human review, and the judgment to know where automation should stop.
