We don't just build
AI companies. We are one.
A small studio of senior engineers shipping production AI for SaaS companies. New York, est. 2024. Forty-seven engagements behind us, a ninety-day warranty on all of them.
Built from a frustration
with AI theatre.
Kensink Labs started in 2024 with a simple thesis: most AI projects fail not because the models aren't capable, but because the teams building around them are stacking abstractions on top of abstractions. Framework on top of framework. Demo on top of demo.
We do the opposite. We integrate directly with the LLM API. We write deterministic code for the critical decisions. We ship in eight weeks because we scope to eight weeks. And on day fifty-six we hand it over — the code, the prompts, the evals, and a runbook your team can extend without us.
The studio is intentionally small. Two senior engineers, named on the contract, are the people writing every line. The same people you meet on day one are the people running your eval suite on day forty-two.
Three things we hold onto.
No frameworks built on quicksand
We integrate against the LLM API the same way we integrate against Postgres. No agent frameworks, no orchestration vendors, no migrations every six months.
Every line written by someone who's shipped
Every line of code on your project is written by an engineer who has shipped before. There is no junior team behind the curtain, no staffing pyramid.
Hand-off, not hand-cuffs
On day fifty-six you own the code, the prompts, the evals, and a runbook your team can extend. We do not host black boxes that hold your business hostage.
Who you'll work with.
