Roast & Rise

The AI-native work studio

Make room for better work.

We redesign the work that slows your team down, from finding information to drafting replies. Then we build AI your people can run, check, and improve.

Room to build what’s next.

With the routine handled, people can improve the service and try new ideas.

A familiar job /With and without AI

The answer exists. Someone still has to find it.

AgentOS is the setup we build around your company knowledge and review rules. See how a familiar client question could move through it.

Follow the request Fig. 02

“How does onboarding work?”
  1. Find the source

    Search folders and ask which version is current.

  2. Piece it together

    Compare the documents and write the reply.

  3. Check and send

    A teammate checks the details before it leaves.

How we work /From first look to handover

We start by watching the work happen.

Bring a recent example, including the awkward bits. Together we choose a useful first build and agree how to judge it before we start.

Explore how we work

Four places, from first look to handover

01 The meeting room

Understand

Find the part worth changing

Show us how the job gets done, including the workarounds. We trace where people wait, repeat themselves, or hunt for information, then choose where to start.

What you get

After the sprint /What belongs to your team

The next improvement should be yours to make.

We build for a handover from the start. Your team needs to understand how the system works, where it falls short, and how to change it.

01

A clear view of the work

The steps worth changing, the information they need, and the decisions that belong with people.

02

AI built around your knowledge

A working system for the job we chose, connected to agreed sources and fitted to how your team uses it.

03

A way to check the answers

Test examples and review rules that make mistakes visible, including when the system should stop and ask for help.

04

The know-how to keep going

A teammate who knows how to run it, written instructions, and a clear place to start when something needs changing.

(04)

Selected work /The people behind it

Teams we have built with.

You work directly with Birgit and Sven. Birgit connects the build to the people and processes it needs to serve. Sven brings the AI strategy and builds the system.

Start here /Bring something real

Show us the job you wish took less of your day.

Bring the report you rebuild every week, or the client question that sends everyone searching. We’ll look at what could change. A Studio sprint makes sense when:

You can point to a recurring job that takes more effort than it should.

The people doing it have time to help us change it.

You can give us access to the information that job needs.

Someone on your team is ready to take ownership of what we build.

Your next step

Start with the work
on your desk.

Open your coding agent. Bring a job you know well.
Use the Studio brief to work out where to start.

Studio setup

Set up your agent.

Already use a coding agent? Start at step 2.

  1. Install your coding agent

    If you’re starting with Codex, follow OpenAI’s desktop setup guide to install the app and sign in.

    Open the setup guide (opens in a new tab)
  2. Copy the Studio prompt

    It gives your agent our brief and a question to start with.

  3. Start with one real job

    Paste the prompt into a new conversation. Describe a recurring job, what slows it down, and the decisions your people need to keep making.
