Established 2026 — London

The studio
is one person.
The output
is not.

EMG Labs is a software studio of exactly one operator, building consumer apps for the App Store, Google Play and the open web. The work moves at the pace normally reserved for small teams — not because we cut corners, but because we have an opinion about how the work gets done. AI does the typing. A human does the deciding.

How we work

“Most studios still ship like it's 2018: huge specs, long sprints, slow reviews. We work the opposite way — small loops, real users, ship the unfinished thing and see what stays.” EMG Labs operating note · 03

We don't write essays about AI on Twitter. The whole site is the essay. If you want the full version of how a one-person studio ships at this clip — the loop, the tools, the rules we won't break — it's on the next page.
