B17 Studios is a small development studio in Gamle Fredrikstad, Norway. We build AI products, multi-agent systems, and full-stack SaaS — for our own portfolio and for selected external clients.
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.
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.
Constitutional AI, state detection, RAG, and multi-agent orchestration. We already run our own Command Center with 12 specialised agents in production.
Prototype to paying customer in weeks, not months. Same stack and playbook that runs Plansett, Dinbot, and Arfur.
Architecture reviews, technology risk, and cost optimisation for smaller companies that need an independent read before a major decision.
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 Command Center coordinates 12 specialised AI agents across the portfolio — one person, not a team.
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.
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.
When you need a partner who can do both design and code. Fast, lightweight, SEO-ready — editorial or clean, as the project needs.
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.
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.
No layers of project management between you and the code. Direct access to the people actually building.
One tech stack across every product means battle-tested patterns. What we learn on one project compounds into the next.
Prototype to production in weeks. We lean toward shipping, measuring, adjusting — rather than planning forever.
If the project isn't a fit, we say so. We only take on what we can deliver properly.
Internal portfolio comes first. But when we take on client work, you get the same team and stack that builds our own products.
Not much PR, no conference talks. We build things we'd use ourselves — and let the work speak.

For most projects we don't bill by the hour. We scope, agree on a price, and deliver.
Fixed price for a defined deliverable. Typically 50–300k NOK depending on scope. You know exactly what you get and what it costs.
One week, one deliverable: a prioritised list of where AI and automation will actually save hours in your business. Low-friction entry — and a complete service on its own.
Hourly for architecture reviews and technical due diligence. For when you need an independent read before a major decision.
Monthly retainer for operations, continued development, and tuning of AI workflows. Predictable, flexible, with direct contact to the builders.
B17 Studios is privately owned by B17 Invest AS. No external investors, no VC pressure — we build on our own terms, at our own pace.
