An independent studio founded by Nima Ansari. We build and operate our own AI products, autonomous systems and creative media, and publish the research behind them.
NimAI is a product and research studio, not an agency. We make things, run them, and open them to partners through licensing, distribution and collaboration.
Apps and tools where AI earns its place for the person using it. Built, tested and released by the studio, then licensed or partnered where it makes sense.
Proof of work: déjàPic, a screenshot-sorting app in release review
Agents that run parts of the studio, and the open tools that keep them in check: cost control, loop detection, playtesting, evaluation. Built in the open, with limits stated.
Proof of work: Radar, a daily digest written and source-checked by agents
Original channels, games and printables, produced on our own pipelines at a steady cadence with quality gates built in.
Proof of work: Tiny Tune Town, a children's channel on a weekly schedule
Models that run where the data is. Open-source releases, benchmarks with exact conditions, and research collaborations.
Proof of work: OpenNPU, local AI on Ryzen AI laptops under Linux
Human direction. Agent-assisted execution. Evidence before claims. That is how a one-founder studio ships like a team and stays accountable like a person.
Nima sets priorities, approves consequential decisions, controls budgets and reviews exceptions. You always know who decided.
Specialized AI workflows handle research, engineering, testing and production tasks, so a small studio moves at a larger team's pace.
Every project carries a stage label backed by an artifact you can open. No invented metrics, no customers we do not have.
Our own channels, store and tools run on the same systems we make. When a pipeline breaks, we are the first to notice.
Published means a public artifact you can visit today. In development means it runs but is not released. The full record follows the featured projects.
Your screenshots, sorted. Reads every screenshot, files it into albums and gives you one search box that understands meaning in any language.
Licensing and product partnershipA children's YouTube channel of sing-along songs, counting and alphabet videos and bedtime stories, produced with a documented pipeline.

Licensing, distribution, research collaboration or a product partnership. Terms in writing, delivery you can inspect.
Which product, content or tool, and what you want to do with it. A few lines is enough.
A straight answer on whether it matches the studio's focus, usually with a couple of questions back.
License scope, ownership, credit and limits stated before anything changes hands.
Working artifacts, documentation and the stage label that matches the evidence. The studio keeps operating what it owns.
Usually a reply within a few days, with questions and a view on fit.
Released tools with public repositories and licenses. Use them, fork them, or propose a collaboration.

The studio owns its products, media and tools, and licenses them under written terms. Open-source releases stay under their stated licenses. Work produced inside a collaboration follows the agreement for that collaboration.
Agents do bounded tasks: research, scaffolding, tests, production steps, reporting. A human reviews every consequential change and signs off on releases. You can see what the agents did, because they leave inspectable artifacts.
Enterprise AI consulting and custom automation for businesses, which is a different focus from this studio. Also trading or passive-income systems, unsupervised deployments with no human accountable, and anything that needs us to claim results we cannot show.
Yes. Tiny Tune Town content, InkyMoss printables and the studio's tools can be licensed or extended. Tell us the use and we will say what is possible.
