§ 01: What we do

Two practices.
One platform.

Neua is an independent applied-AI product lab. Software that ships, and books that put people in every profession. Each is a distinct practice; together they share a platform, a philosophy, and a point of view.

"Intelligent systems that earn trust by being legible."

Applied-AI product work shipped as real software: agentic workflows, generative product surfaces, and developer tooling, all built on one shared platform, Neua Studio.

§ Selected work

Work you can
open.

Each of these links to a live page. Where a product is in private beta, its card says so.

  • Private beta

    Neua Nexus

    What it does

    A team workspace where AI operators triage incoming email and draft replies. Each draft waits unsent, because the server refuses to send anything without a person's decision.

    How it works

    Each operator has scoped access to its channels and a spend cap that is checked before it drafts, and every send is written to an audit ledger.

    When Women Connect

    What it does

    A community app for women to find events and the people to go with. The feed, explore, event pages, and crews are open to browse without an account; you sign in to take part.

    How it works

    A nightly job adds recurring meetups to the calendar, and a score on name, date, venue, and link flags likely duplicates for an admin to merge.

§ 02: Neua Studio

The platform behind every product.

Canvas powers the interface. Engine powers the backend. One foundation, many distinctive products. Taste is repeatable, not flattened.
