Atlantis

Real-time AI Agents, Tool Calling, Workflow Automation

AI agents that think, act, and execute—in real time

Forget IVR menus and hold music. Atlantis needed agents that could actually do things—check inventory, process requests, coordinate across systems—all while having a natural conversation. The answer was real-time AI with tool calling capabilities.

Powered by OpenAI's Realtime API, our agents respond instantly, think on their feet, and execute complex workflows mid-conversation. They don't just route calls. They handle them—often better than humans could.

These aren't chatbots. The AI picks up, understands the situation, queries our systems, makes decisions, and resolves issues—all in one seamless conversation. Tasks that took our team 15 minutes are done in 30 seconds. It's not replacing humans, it's operating at a level we couldn't match.

CHNCLR

Brand identity, Web development

Trustless Bitcoin Escrow for a Sovereign Future

CHNCLR is a trustless Bitcoin escrow protocol built on native Bitcoin standards—PSBTs, multisig, and Nostr. We developed their distinctive ransom letter aesthetic and conversion-focused landing experience.

The project demanded a visual language as rebellious as its mission: eliminating trusted third parties from financial agreements. The result is a brand that feels dangerous, technical, and trustworthy all at once.

They captured exactly what we needed—a brand that feels dangerous, technical, and trustworthy all at once. The ransom aesthetic perfectly embodies our mission to disrupt traditional escrow.

Still Here

Brand identity, Product strategy

Digital presence that outlasts the moment

Still Here is a platform for people who want their digital presence to mean something—messages that arrive when they matter, memories preserved with intention, presence that persists.

We developed their brand identity around the concept of enduring connection: concentric circles radiating outward, a signal that says "I'm still here" across time and distance.

Cardinal understood what we were trying to build before we could fully articulate it. They helped us find the visual language for something as intangible as presence.

Saturday Morning

Game development, Real-time multiplayer

Where spreadsheets fear to tread and dreams run wild

Saturday Morning is a living, breathing ecosystem of genetics, strategy, and heart-pounding competition. The aesthetic? Pure 80s Saturday morning cartoon energy—bold outlines, bright colors, and chunky drop shadows.

Two buttons. That's the core innovation. WHIP to accelerate, HALT to recover. Simple controls, infinite strategy. The depth comes from understanding your horse's unique biology across generations of breeding.

Most agencies would have called this project "too fun" and passed. Cardinal fell in love with the problem—debating muscle fiber genetics and cel-shaded aesthetics in the same sprint.

FamilyFund

Web development, CMS

Skip the bank, borrow from those you trust

FamilyFund is a crowdfunding platform for friends and family. Allowing users to take personal loans from their network without a traditional financial institution.

We developed a custom CMS to power their blog with and optimised their site to rank higher for the keywords “Gary Vee” and “Tony Robbins”.

Working with Studio, we felt more like a partner than a customer. They really resonated with our mission to change the way people convince their parents to cash out their pensions.

Unseal

Blockchain development

Get a hodl of your health

Unseal is the first NFT platform where users can mint and trade NFTs of their own personal health records, allowing them to take control of their data.

We built out the blockchain infrastructure that supports Unseal. Unfortunately, we took a massive loss on this project when Unseal’s cryptocurrency, PlaceboCoin, went to zero.

Studio did an amazing job building out our core blockchain infrastructure and I’m sure once PlaceboCoin rallies they’ll be able to finish the project.

Phobia

App development

Overcome your fears, find your match

Find love in the face of fear — Phobia is a dating app that matches users based on their mutual phobias so they can be scared together.

We worked with Phobia to develop a new onboarding flow. A user is shown pictures of common phobias and we use the microphone to detect which ones make them scream, feeding the results into the matching algorithm.

The team at Studio went above and beyond with our onboarding, even finding a way to access the user’s microphone without triggering one of those annoying permission dialogs.

Jenny Wilson, CPO of Phobia

Cardinal provided the perfect balance of AI speed and human trust. Their process was transparent, efficient, and the results were outstanding.
