Simple software,
shipped with care.

We design and build AI agents, SaaS launch kits, and product videos — for founders who value clarity over clutter.

Now building

Agents that do the work,
not just the talking.

End to end

Design, engineering, and launch — handled end to end, from the first sketch to shipped.

What we do

Three things, done well.

AI Agents

Custom AI agents and automations that handle real work — support, ops, and research. Built to fit your stack.

LaunchKit

Everything you need to launch a SaaS, out of the box. Auth, payments, and a polished UI — ship in days.

Promo Video

Crisp, high-converting product videos that explain what you built and make people want it.

Engagements

Three ways to work together.

Fixed-price project

A scoped build — an AI agent, a LaunchKit setup, a promo video — quoted as a fixed price before we start. No hourly surprises.

Best for a defined, one-off build
Monthly retainer

A small senior team on tap each month — design, build, and ship, continuously. Ongoing, no re-scoping.

Best for continuous product work

Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Tell us what you’re building — we’ll find the right shape.

How we work

A calm process,
start to ship.

No bloat, no theatre. Just the smallest path from idea to something real in people's hands.

01
Discover

We learn your goal and scope the smallest thing that works.

02
Build

We design and build fast, in tight weekly iterations you can see.

03
Ship

We launch, measure, and refine until it's genuinely good.

About

A small studio,
built to ship.

Kanso Labs is an independent software studio in the United States. We’re a small, senior team — designers and engineers who take a product from idea to launch without the layers most agencies add.

We work with founders directly, scope tightly, and ship without the theatre. No account managers, no endless decks — just senior people doing the work, from the first call to launch.

Why Kanso

Less, but better.

Simple by design

We remove the unnecessary. Kanso (簡素) means simplicity without the clutter — that's the whole point.

Fast to ship

A small team and no bureaucracy. We move in weeks, not quarters, and you see progress every step.

Made with care

Details matter. We sweat them so you don't — every edge, every word, every interaction.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How do you charge?

Most projects are fixed-price, quoted before we start. Products like LaunchKit are subscriptions, and ongoing work can be a monthly retainer.

Who owns the work?

On full payment, the deliverables we build specifically for you are yours. Our pre-existing tools and any third-party or open-source components keep their own licenses — see our Terms.

How fast can you start?

Usually within a week or two. We keep a small number of active projects so we can move fast and stay hands-on from the first call to launch.

Do you work with early-stage founders?

Yes — most of our clients are founders and small teams. We scope to the smallest thing that works so you can launch, measure, and learn quickly.

Where are you based?

Kanso Labs is a U.S.-based studio, and we work with founders remotely around the world.
