Office Studio

Studio

Your creative technology studio

Bring us a product idea, a task your team repeats or a system your business is missing. Studio designs and builds the websites, apps, AI tools and digital experiences that do the work. You can take the result over or have us maintain it under an agreed service.

  • Agent systems
  • MCP and plugins
  • Generative production
  • Voice and interactive products

What the software can do

  • Take bookings and payments

    A website or app that takes a booking, request or purchase and passes the right information to the people doing the work.

  • Manage people and projects

    A workspace for a roster, submissions, availability, clients or work in progress.

  • Connect existing tools

    Move approved records between the platforms you already use without copying them by hand.

  • Handle repeat tasks

    An AI assistant or automated workflow that follows defined steps, respects permissions and asks before consequential actions.

  • Produce work for approval

    Turn briefs and source assets into repeatable content, audio, image or video workflows with checks before release.

  • Create something new

    A customer application, interactive experience, game or digital product that did not exist before.

What you can hire Office Studio to build

You can arrive with a product idea, a task your team repeats or a technology you want to test. The starting point is the person who needs to use the result.

  • Agent systems

    A research or operations agent that works through defined steps, reads approved information and requests confirmation before taking consequential action.

  • MCP servers and plugins

    Give an AI assistant controlled access to the records and tools your team already uses. Each action has a defined permission and an observable result.

  • Generative production systems

    Turn approved briefs and assets into repeatable image, video, audio or copy production workflows, with checks before anything is released.

  • Voice and interactive products

    Build a speech or conversational interface that helps a customer or colleague find information, make a choice or complete a defined task.

A prototype proves the interaction. A production build adds the permissions, tests, monitoring and handover needed to operate it.

From the job to the working system

You get working software at each decision point, so a direction can be tested before it becomes a larger build.

  1. 01

    Define

    Agree the user, task, data, constraints and the test that would make the project worth continuing.

  2. 02

    Prototype

    Build the smallest working interaction. Run it against representative examples and show where it fails.

  3. 03

    Build

    Connect the agreed tools and data. Add access controls, evaluations, logging and a route for human approval where needed.

  4. 04

    Run or hand over

    Agree who operates the software after launch. Studio can host and maintain it under an ongoing agreement, or deliver the agreed source, documentation and ownership arrangements to your team.

Selected work

Websites, software, games and object studies.

  • driftspeak

    Repeatable audio production. A fixed track format drives speech synthesis, every render is checked for voice drift, and approved text cannot change after sign-off.

  • A governed content system

    Formats, voice constraints and approvals in an interface a part-time operator works inside. It is the system behind the Content Office.

    About the Content Office

  • Circuit

    Door check-in, one verified presence record per guest per event, and attendance plans an organiser reviews before anything is sent.

Ways to work with Studio

Commission a system for your business to run, have Studio build and look after it, or bring PJ into your team for a defined period.

  • Built and managed

    Scoped as an ongoing service

    A defined application, workflow or AI system built for a specific job. Studio hosts and maintains it under an ongoing agreement, with the scope, support, usage and changes agreed in advance.

    Discuss a project

  • Built and handed over

    Quoted to scope

    A scoped website, application or connected system delivered with the agreed source, documentation and ownership arrangements. Any ongoing support is separate.

    Discuss a project

  • Embedded creative technology

    Quoted to scope

    PJ works directly with your team for an agreed period, researching, designing and building alongside the people responsible for the result.

    Work with PJ

Office Review

For a brief that is not yet clear. Ten working days to examine the current workflow, test one change in a demonstration prototype and return a scoped next step. The prototype is not a production system.

Fixed fee, agreed before it starts

Explore Office Review

A review is one starting point. A clearly scoped product project can proceed to a build proposal.

Two of these formats have pages of their own, with their own scope.

See the Working Website

See the Content Office

Hosting, model usage, licences, data access and ongoing support are agreed separately where relevant.

The practice

Office Studio is led by PJ Roch. He works across product design, software engineering and the systems that make digital products run. Projects are led directly, with specialist collaborators brought in when the scope requires them.

PJ’s previous product work spans CRM, commerce, digital operations and consumer products, including work with organisations such as lululemon, Dext, Everpress and Sofar Sounds.

Alongside Office Studio, PJ develops websites, software, games and physical product studies. His iPhone products are demonstrated at machinestud.io.

Principles

  • The smallest coherent system

    More software is the usual answer and rarely the right one. We look for the fewest connected parts that carry the work.

  • Taste is operational

    How a business looks and how it runs are the same question asked twice. A considered surface over a chaotic system does not hold.

  • Judgement stays human

    Automation earns its place on defined, repetitive work. Decisions that need judgement keep a person in them.

  • Ownership and operation

    Before work starts, we agree who controls the code, accounts and data, who maintains the software and what happens when the engagement ends. That applies whether Studio hands it over or continues to run it.

Office Studio works with a small number of businesses at a time, with every engagement led directly by PJ Roch.

Why it exists

Established businesses rarely lack effort or expertise. They lack a system that carries either one reliably. The gap shows up in the work their customers and their team do every day, which is where a project starts.
