Human-Centric Engineering · Studio

Building experiences that weren’t possible a year ago.

HCE is a human-centric engineering studio. We build agentic apps, websites, and tools on Sunrise, our open-sourced, production-ready foundation with AI orchestration built in. We move at AI speed without giving up craftsmanship.

01 / Sunrise

The foundation

Our open-source, production-ready base for agentic software. Agents, capabilities, knowledge, workflows, evaluation and governance, with orchestration built in.

02 / ConQuest

Conversations, not forms

A conversational questionnaire platform. A natural dialogue in place of form-filling. An agent extracts, infers and synthesises answers, with confidence and provenance.

Coming soon

03 / Expert-led journeys

Guided, personal experiences

A framework that turns the foundation’s primitives into guided, personalised, expert-led apps. First in genre, a coaching journey built with a partner venture.

In development

We’re building things that weren’t possible a year ago, on a foundation that’s production-ready from day one. The possibilities on top of it are effectively endless.

01 / Change

Change is coming whether we like it or not. We choose to embrace it and steer it somewhere better.

02 / Symbiosis

Humans and AI, working together to create real value in a genuinely fulfilling way.

03 / A better way

There’s a better, more human way to build products and run businesses. We’re here to prove it.

Let’s build something.

Have an idea? We’d like to hear from you.
