A new kind of software company.

We started okthink because we believe AI changes not just what software can be built, but how software companies operate.

We're the kind of engineers who optimize the process, not just the product. AI turns that skill into a massive advantage. We use AI agents and agentic workflows to ship products that would normally require a much larger team.

Why do we like ducks?

A duck can swim, walk, and fly. The best software comes from people who can do the same across engineering, design, and product. Orchestrating a fleet of agents takes that same range: holding the spec, the code, and the review at once rather than passing each to a different team. Every handoff is a seam, and organizational seams show up as seams in the product.

Her background spans engineering leadership, backend systems, data pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and mobile applications.

Our products

  • Firehose The control plane for your AI coding fleet

    Teams are adopting AI coding agents faster than they can keep track of them. You cannot see what an agent is working on, whether it is stuck, or whether it is about to push something broken. Firehose gives real-time visibility into every session, smart code reviews before anything merges, and the orchestration to run dozens of agents in parallel. It is the operational layer between a team and its agents.

  • Sparkle Internal tooling, productized

    A brand-consistent image workflow that began as our own creative pipeline and is becoming a tool for humans and agents alike.

  • Itsumo A generative platform for language lessons

    The Japanese Language Proficiency Test covers vocabulary, kanji, grammar, reading, and listening, and no single app covers all five. Learners end up paying for several subscriptions and still have gaps. Itsumo replaces them with one platform that generates academic-level lessons on whatever you want to study, already in Japanese, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, Haitian Creole, and English.
