Build
We develop original software products inside the studio to solve hard problems that fascinate us and have large market potential.
A New Generation App Studio
Oval Apps is an independent studio building software where artificial intelligence, behavioural psychology, design, and human systems overlap.
The Studio
Technology alone is rarely enough to solve real problems.
The most compelling products often emerge where multiple disciplines intersect.
We are interested in the difficult problems that can be solved where those worlds meet.
Studio Activities
We build intelligent consumer apps that solve hard problems for people by taking a multidisciplinary approach.
We develop original software products inside the studio to solve hard problems that fascinate us and have large market potential.
We investigate emerging technologies, behavioural patterns, and new opportunities created by AI to make human problems solvable.
From time to time, we work with people tackling difficult product challenges that sit at the intersection of technology and human behaviour.
Curiosity
The territory we keep returning to — exploratory rather than commercial.
Approach
Most studios optimise for volume.
We do not.
We prefer a small number of interesting problems, thoughtful collaborators, and products worth building.
Most of our attention goes into our own work.
But occasionally a problem appears that is simply too interesting to ignore. In those instances we consider working with founders on compelling ideas — as a joint venture or for equity.

If you're working on a problem that genuinely sits at the intersection of technology and people, we'd be interested to hear about it.
