Delivered by B17 Studios.

Products and engagements from recent years — companies in the B17 portfolio and client work, clearly labelled. Problem, solution and what was actually delivered.

The previews are recordings of the live sites.

Client work2026Live

Push&Dose

Industry · Web, 3D & Film

Problem: A Norwegian maker of dosing tops for pouches needed a site that shows how the product actually works, not just tells it.
Solution: The client’s CAD files became 3D on the web: a cutaway of the mechanism that plays as you scroll, and a model visitors can rotate and press. Plus a commercial film made from the real pouches.
Delivery: Live on pushdose.com in three languages, with 16 domains consolidated, a sample-kit form straight to the client, and operations. The home page loads 0.5 MB on mobile. Reports via B17 App on top.

Portfolio2025Beta

Plansett

PropTech · SaaS

Problem: Building applications need dozens of documents under TEK17, SAK10 and PBL. Today that means weeks and consultant fees.
Solution: AI generation on regulation-researched templates, map data from Kartverket and NVE, and traceable calculations.
Delivery: 20 document types, neighbour-notice flow, PDF export and an AI advisor. Norway’s AI-native alternative to HoltePortalen.

Evenskjer Guesthouse

Hospitality · Branding & Web

Problem: A guesthouse by Tjeldsundet with no brand, no website and guests from five language areas.
Solution: Brand from scratch, a five-language site covering rooms, conference and airport transfer, plus AI-assisted email replies.
Delivery: Live site, booking flow and operations.

Dinbot

AI · B2B SaaS

Problem: Small businesses keep calendar, email and finance in separate systems, with nobody watching overnight.
Solution: A private assistant that reads the systems, alerts on change and replies in Telegram. Built on iOSE-DNA.
Delivery: Landing page with live chat, an animated demo and a pilot programme in Østfold. The example in the sequence above.

Arfur

AI · Content production

Problem: Cultural heritage and stories vanish when they don’t exist in children’s languages and on their screens.
Solution: An AI engine for culturally adapted content, with human review before anything is published.
Delivery: Powers Nordic Tales and Filipino Tales: 25 reading languages, narration and school pilots.

Frostline

Transport · Web

Problem: Private passenger transport in Northern Norway needs routes, group pricing and booking without a phone call.
Solution: Company site with a Harstad–Evenes–Tromsø–Lofoten route map, booking flow and a northern-lights look.
Delivery: Live site at frostline.as, installable as an app, email bot via Dinbot Mail.

utebod.no

Home · Web

Problem: Østfold Vedlikehold AS builds sheds by hand but had no page where a customer could see dimensions, finish and price.
Solution: Landing page with large photography, an isometric dimension drawing, colour options and clear delivery terms.
Delivery: Live at utebod.no. The customer’s site, not a B17 product.

Portfolio2026Beta

Neksti

Productivity · B2C

Problem: Task lists grow instead of shrinking. For ADHD brains that is pressure, not help.
Solution: One next task at a time, neutral recycling of what didn’t get done, and gentle reminders.
Delivery: Beta in dogfooding at neksti.com.

iose

Foundation · B2C

Problem: Most apps are built to take attention. Few are built to give it back.
Solution: A personal life operating system with Constitutional AI and state detection at the core.
Delivery: The framework that gives every B17 product its ethical and emotional grounding. Early stage.

Veland Auto

Automotive · Web

Problem: A used-car dealer in Fredrikstad wanted customers to find the cars, opening hours and contact details in seconds.
Solution: A fast Norwegian and English site where the cars come straight from the Billink dealer system. The hero turns from day to dusk as the showroom lights come on, and every car card has an image switcher and one-tap test drive booking.
Delivery: Live on velandauto.no since October 2026. The stock updates itself, forms go straight to sales, and customers can get an email when new cars arrive.

03capabilities

Things we do well. We stick to them.

We've deliberately kept our scope narrow. What we offer is what we use daily on our own products — no experimental infrastructure on a client's budget.

cap.01

Company workspaces & internal apps

One screen for the whole company: dashboards for finances, email and the task queue, team chat with AI specialists on call, and shared project files. We build full-scale internal workspaces tailored to how your company actually runs — the same kind we use to run B17 every day.

What we cover

Overview dashboard: finances, email, tasks
Team chat with AI specialists on call
Shared files per project
Live demo ready today

demo → pilot → live

AI products & agent systems

Constitutional AI, state detection, RAG, and multi-agent orchestration. We already run our own B17 App with 12 specialised agents in production.

What we cover

Constitutional AI
Multi-agent orchestration
RAG & hybrid search

Architecture reviews, technology risk, and cost optimisation for smaller companies that need an independent read before a major decision.

What we cover

Architecture review
Technical due diligence
Build-vs-buy analysis
Cost optimisation

hourly

cap.05

AI ops & implementation

Most companies have bought AI tools that don't talk to each other. We map where your team actually bleeds hours, build the workflows that tie the tools together, and train your team to run it themselves. We run the same pattern internally: B17 App coordinates 12 specialised AI agents across the portfolio — the agents do the work, people make the calls.

What we cover

Ops audit (1 week, fixed price)
Workflow building in n8n/Make/Zapier
Team training and handover
Tuning and iteration on retainer

audit → build → retainer

Ops & continued development

Monthly retainer for systems we've built — or systems someone else built and needs a steady hand on. Predictable, with direct access to the people writing the code.

What we cover

Monitoring & uptime
Feature work per sprint
Security & upgrades
No PM layers between

cap.07

iOSE-DNA built in

Every AI product we build carries iOSE-DNA: Constitutional AI, state detection, and usage tracking that prevents overuse instead of encouraging it. Not marketing — architecture.

What we cover

The four laws
State detector (5 states)

Automated reports & monitoring

Your systems watched around the clock: uptime, error clustering, cost tracking and inbox triage — condensed into a morning report that tells you what actually needs attention. We run 20+ scheduled jobs like this on our own portfolio, every day.

What we cover

Uptime & error alerts straight to your phone
Daily & weekly reports: traffic, costs, email
Integrations: accounting, inbox, calendar, GitHub
Alerts only when something changes — no noise

always on

AI-augmented, not AI-generated.

AI is a tool, not a substitute for thinking. We use Claude, Cursor, and Perplexity as force multipliers — the architecture, the judgment calls, and the quality bar are ours.

// 01

Short decision paths

No layers of project management between you and the code. Direct access to the people actually building.

// 02

Same stack everywhere

One tech stack across every product means battle-tested patterns. What we learn on one project compounds into the next.

// 03

Ship first, perfect later

Prototype to production in weeks. We lean toward shipping, measuring, adjusting — rather than planning forever.

// 04

Honesty over sales

If the project isn't a fit, we say so. We only take on what we can deliver properly.

// 05

Our own work first

Internal portfolio comes first. But when we take on client work, you get the same team and stack that builds our own products.

// 06

We build quietly

Not much PR, no conference talks. We build things we'd use ourselves — and let the work speak.

05pricing

Honest pricing. No surprises.

For most projects we don't bill by the hour. We scope, agree on a price, and deliver.

price.01 // fixed

Fixed price for a defined deliverable. Typically 50–300k NOK depending on scope. You know exactly what you get and what it costs.

07faq

Common questions.

What businesses usually ask before getting in touch. More on each service: websites, AI automation, app & SaaS development and internal tools.

What does B17 Studios do?

B17 Studios builds AI solutions, apps, websites and internal tools for businesses. We also offer technical advisory and monthly operations and continued development. We deliberately keep a narrow scope: what we use daily on our own products.

Where is B17 Studios based?

We are based in Gamle Fredrikstad, Østfold, Norway, and work remotely with clients across Norway and internationally.

Who owns B17 Studios?

B17 Studios is the development arm of B17 Invest AS, a privately held Norwegian holding company. No external investors, no venture capital.

How much does a project cost?

Fixed-price projects typically range from 50,000 to 300,000 NOK depending on scope. Ops audits are a fixed 19,000 NOK for one week. Advisory is billed hourly; maintenance and AI ops is a monthly retainer. Contact hei@b17studios.com for a non-binding estimate.

What is an ops audit?

A one-week review of where your team loses hours to manual work and disconnected AI tools. You get a prioritised list of where AI and automation will actually save time, with per-workflow estimates. Fixed price of 19,000 NOK. It stands alone, or becomes the entry point to a broader AI ops engagement.

Do you take on external clients?

Yes, selectively. The internal portfolio comes first. When we take on client work, you get the same team and stack that builds our own products.

Which AI models do you use?

We are vendor-agnostic and build on Claude, GPT and Gemini depending on the task.

What is iOSE-DNA?

iOSE-DNA is a framework for ethically and emotionally intelligent AI: Constitutional AI, state detection (the user's emotional state), and usage tracking that prevents overuse rather than encouraging it. It is architecture, not marketing, and it is live in Dinbot today.

Within 48 hours.
