R-01 · AI product studio · est. 2026

We build AI that works with people.

R-01 is an AI product studio. We design, build and ship AI agents, AI-native tools and games, and every one of them keeps a human in charge of the decisions that matter.

What we do

Three practices, one studio.

We work where AI is most useful and most risky: when it acts on someone's behalf. Everything we make is built fast with AI and decided by people.

  1. 01

    AI agents

    Agents that work on a computer, in a chat app or inside a business process, and stop for a person before anything that matters. They have memory, tools and a face.

    ACU-R01 · Gudangku

  2. 02

    Games

    Satirical web and mobile games that punch up at power and bureaucracy. We ship early and in public: most of ours are playable long before they're finished.

    5 in development · 3 playable in your browser

  3. 03

    Production tooling

    The pipelines behind it all: AI-assisted art, code and testing, with review gates where people sign off. Even our trailers are rendered from code and cut on the beat.

    Every frame reviewed by a human

Our work

Products we build and run.

Two AI products and five games. We built the agents to run our own studio; they turned out good enough to share.

ACU-R01 a desktop agent with a face

ACU-R01 is a desktop agent you can actually work with. Its agent, R01, remembers, runs jobs on a schedule and talks to you from your desktop or your phone. ACU-R01 gives it hands: quick chat on a shortcut, a squad of coding agents, live diffs to review, the browser, your files and your mail.

  • Super + A opens a quick chat that can see your screen, anywhere.
  • Code mode runs several coding agents side by side. You stage every diff.
  • Risky actions stop and ask first: Yes, Always or No.
  • Desktop, browser, files, mail and calendar, with memory and routines.

Gudangku stock over chat

An AI agent that keeps stock and money for wholesale businesses with more than one warehouse. Send a photo of a receipt, a voice note or a line of text; the agent drafts the record, and a person taps to approve it. Runs as a Telegram bot with a mini app.

  • Photos, voice notes or plain chat become stock records.
  • Bulk photos sorted by AI, barcode scanning and printable labels.
  • FIFO stock per warehouse, payables, receivables and scheduled reports.
  • An assistant that reads PDF, DOCX and XLSX files.

How we work

Machines do the work. People decide.

  1. 01

    Agents propose. Humans decide.

    AI drafts, explores and iterates at machine speed. A person reviews every frame, joke, diff and design call before anything ships, in our products and in our studio.

  2. 02

    Ship early, in public.

    Small builds, real users, a better next version. Our games run in the browser long before they're finished.

  3. 03

    Punch up, never down.

    Our satire aims at power, collusion and absurd bureaucracy, never at who people are.

  4. 04

    Small team, many robots.

    We build the tools we use. If an agent saves us an afternoon, it gets a name, a face and eventually a release.

Company

A small, AI-native studio.

R-01 builds AI products and games. We started in 2026 as a handful of experiments; today we run a small portfolio of agents and games, made with AI and decided by people.

We stay small on purpose. A few people set the direction and make the calls; a lot of agents do the drafting, testing, rendering and busywork in between. That's also what we build for others: software where the machine does the work and a person stays in charge.

  • Partnerships & pilotsPut one of our agents to work in your team or business, with us alongside.
  • PublishingBring our games to new platforms, stores and audiences.
  • Press & playtestsEarly builds, promo footage and the people behind them.
