Independent applied AI, design & engineering

About 6 Watt Labs

6 Watt Labs is an independent software studio that builds websites, automations, internal tools and private AI systems for research teams, business operations and delivery partners.

We work from the problem through to the interface, the systems behind it and the handoff. You work directly with the people responsible for the result.

What we build

A useful system starts with what someone needs to get done. We choose the tools around that.

Websites & interfaces

We design and build public websites, customer portals and product interfaces. The aim is to help people understand the offer, complete a task and know what happens next.

Explore websites & interfaces

Automations & integrations

We connect tools and reduce repeated handoffs, from collecting a request to preparing a report. Each workflow has a defined trigger, an owner and a way to handle exceptions.

Explore automations

Dashboards & internal tools

We build software around the decisions your team needs to make. Project rooms, review queues and dashboards bring the relevant information and next action together.

Applied AI & private systems

We use AI where interpreting information helps a real workflow, with evaluation against examples from the task. Data access, permissions and decisions that need a person are agreed as part of the design.

What you can expect

We agree the work and how you will review it before we build.

Design and engineering together

We work on the experience people see and the systems that support it. Interface decisions can be checked against the actual workflow, data and permissions.

Decide what to build first

A technical decision review or systems roadmap can come before a production build. We agree the outcome, scope, price and review points before implementation begins.

Review against agreed criteria

Acceptance criteria are agreed with you, then checked against the work. Drafts, feedback and decisions stay connected to the version being reviewed in your project workspace.

Our team is responsible for delivery

Agents help us research, design, implement and check. Our team remains responsible for the decisions and delivery; AI belongs in the finished product only when it serves the problem.

Handoff and ongoing care

Files, access, documentation and ownership are part of the delivery conversation. Where ongoing care is needed, we agree its scope, responsibilities and terms separately.

Who we work with

A clear problem and someone who can review the result matter more than a finished specification.

The team

Our approach combines software engineering with evaluation against real tasks: what should the system do, and what evidence would show that it works?

We are a small, independent studio. You work directly with the people responsible for your project, from understanding the problem to reviewing the result.

Start with a brief

Describe the problem, how the work happens today and any constraints through Start a project. The receipt includes a private status link, so you can check your enquiry before you have a client account.

Agree the working arrangements

We agree scope, price, timing, review points and responsibilities before building. Communication channels, update frequency and response expectations are set for the engagement; there is no blanket turnaround or response-time promise.

Review in a shared project space

Once we agree to work together, you are invited to a private workspace for scope, updates, review feedback, decisions and delivery files. We bring the handoff and any ongoing care arrangement together before the project closes.

Questions before you start

Do I need a finished specification?

No. A short explanation of the problem, an example of the current workflow and the people involved are enough to begin. A decision review or roadmap can help clarify what is worth building.

How much does a project cost, and how long does it take?

Both depend on the outcome, existing systems, access and constraints. We scope and price the work with you, and agree timing and review points before implementation.

Does every project need AI?

No. A website, a conventional integration or a simpler piece of software may be the right answer. When AI is useful, we agree how to evaluate it and where a person needs to review its output.

Can you work with our existing tools or private infrastructure?

We assess supported APIs, permissions, data quality and failure handling before promising an integration. Private or customer-owned deployment can be considered when control matters, with access and operating responsibilities agreed in scope.

What happens after delivery?

Each project has an explicit handoff and ownership plan. Care and stewardship can cover agreed maintenance, monitoring, adoption support and improvements; the boundaries are defined with you.
