Independent software studio · Virginia, USA

Agentic systems, built to ship.

We design and run production software with Claude at the core — multi-agent infrastructure, native apps, and automation that survives contact with the real world.

What we do

Agentic AI engineering

Claude-powered agent teams, MCP integrations, and orchestration pipelines — scoped, hardened, and observable. We run our own company on the same systems we build for others.

Native products

iOS, macOS, and Windows apps taken from first sketch to store shelves — design, engineering, review, and release, end to end.

Research to production

Founded by a machine-learning researcher with peer-reviewed work in robot learning. We are at home on both sides of the gap between a paper and a product.

How we build

Small on purpose. Senior work, direct communication, and an agentic toolchain that lets two people operate like ten.

Our own operations — deployment, monitoring, triage, release pipelines — run on Claude-based agents we built and maintain ourselves. That is the strongest claim we can make about the tools: we trust them with our own company.

Selected work

Daily Manifesto

An iOS writing practice with a companion: a procedurally-grown tree computed from your own record. Private by architecture — no server, no analytics, nothing leaves the phone. About the app

Agent operations platform

Our internal multi-agent runtime: session orchestration, mobile control, automated triage and news digests, cross-host watchdogs and backups — self-hosted and self-maintaining.

Client & internal tooling

Desktop software, open-source libraries, and automation for research and delivery work across ML, data, and the desktop.

The studio

Business Lion LLC is a two-person studio registered in Virginia, United States.

We keep the surface area small: a few products, a few clients, and tooling we are proud to run ourselves. If we take something on, a senior engineer does the work — there is nobody else it could be handed to.

A short note about what you are building is enough — a person reads it and replies.
