01
Applied AI
Retrieval, evaluation, and agents embedded in the real workflows where decisions are made — not demos or chat toys.
Software and applied AI, from Lisbon
We build the systems beneath the surface.
Ocean Irrequieto is a product studio designing calm, dependable software for teams operating at the edge of what machines can do.
Descend to discover
Thesis
The most interesting software is quiet, exact, and hard to see.
We believe the next decade of computing will be defined less by demos and more by systems that keep working — long after the launch, under load, in the dark. We build for that half of the graph.
Focus
Six currents we're working in.
Every engagement lives inside one of these areas. They are the shape of the practice, not a menu.
02
Intelligent Infrastructure
Platforms that make the dull, invisible parts of a product legible, observable, and cheap to change at scale.
03
Internal Tools
We map repetitive workflows inside a team and automate the logic-heavy parts, building clean interfaces around the rest.
04
Data Systems
Pipelines, warehouses, and semantic layers that keep the business model honest, fresh, and ready for decisions at scale.
05
Digital Trust
Identity, permissions, and audit trails designed to survive real audits, adversaries, and the questions you haven't asked yet.
06
Human Interfaces
Interfaces that respect attention — spare, fast, and legible at a glance, even when the underlying data is complex.

Matter-scoped legal AI workflow suite where every action belongs to a matter, every output is a cited draft, and nothing ships without attorney approval.

How we operate
A small number of things we refuse to compromise on.
01
Small teams, senior hands
Every engagement is staffed by the people writing the code. No layers between decision and keystroke.
02
Legible systems
We optimise for the engineer who inherits the code next year. Clarity outranks cleverness.
03
Measured, not marketed
We publish latency, cost, and error budgets. The dashboard is the story.
04
Own less, understand more
We prefer boring infrastructure operated well over exotic infrastructure operated hopefully.
The people
A studio, not an agency.
We are a compact team of engineers, designers, and researchers working out of Lisbon. We ship together, on-site or across the same three time zones.
Founding Engineer
Systems, distributed data, and the parts of AI that keep working after launch.
Design Engineer
Interfaces, typography, and the choreography of interactive experiences.
AI Researcher
Retrieval, evaluation, and honest measurement of model behaviour.
Platform Engineer
Infrastructure, observability, and the tooling that lets small teams move.
