Sidewave Digital — Product Lab

From idea to shipped product in weeks.

Sidewave is a product lab. We design, build, and launch software: applied AI apps, agent workflows, and full products for web and mobile.

// 01 — what we build

What we build_

From model-powered features to the product around them, we take on the parts that need thoughtful design and solid engineering.

AI.01 SYS/01

Applied AI apps

Products with a model at the core: speech, search, assistants, summarization. We've shipped both on-device and cloud AI, and we know when each is the right call.

WF.02 SYS/02

Workflows & agents

Automation for the work nobody wants to do by hand: documents, triage, review queues, approvals. People stay in the loop where their judgment matters.

PD.03 SYS/03

Web & mobile products

Complete products, designed and built end to end. We've shipped for iOS, macOS, Chrome, and the web, and we care about the details that make software feel good.

Prototype sprints

A few weeks to turn an idea into something you can click and test against real data. You get a working prototype and a straight answer, even when the answer is no.

// 02 — how we work

How we work_

A tight loop from first conversation to production. Each phase has a clear output, so you always know what is moving and what comes next.

04 phases / one team
  1. 01

    Shape

    days 01—03

    We start with a working session and leave it with a clear brief: what we're building, what we're skipping, and what done looks like. This takes days.

    phase output
    a scoped brief
  2. 02

    Build

    short weekly cycles

    Design and engineering happen together, in short cycles. You see real software early and often, and your feedback lands the same week.

  3. 03

    Ship

    release window

    We launch it properly: polish, performance, monitoring, and guardrails where AI is involved.

    phase output
    a production launch
  4. 04

    Run

    after launch

    Software isn't finished at launch. We stay on to fix, tune, and improve, or hand it off cleanly to your team, as needed.

    phase output
    a tuned product or clean handoff

Have something you want built?

Sidewave is deliberately small. We only take on a few clients a year, so every project gets our full attention from first sketch to launch. If you have something in mind, tell us about it.
