We start with a problem people have every day and understand it properly before we build anything.

Every product is built and run by us, from the first line of code to customer support. Try the demos below.

Good finds. New beginnings.
Piqiz is a local marketplace for London. Sellers take a photo and describe the item out loud, and the listing is written for them. Buyers search by saying what they want.
- Photo in, finished listing out, with a suggested price
- Search by voice, then refine with one tap
- An alert when what you want gets listed

How we work
From problem to product, in-house.
We don't hand work to agencies. The same small team researches, designs, builds, ships and supports each product.
Build
We ship a small working version quickly, put it in front of real users, and release in small, frequent steps.
Run
We host, monitor and support what we ship, with clear pricing and data that users can delete.
What we build with
One team from circuit board to cloud.
Android apps
Native Kotlin apps, including call handling, accessibility services and background audio.
Web platforms
Fast web apps and APIs on edge infrastructure, from marketplaces to seller dashboards.
AI features
Real-time speech-to-text, translation, and language models that summarise, search and write.
Hardware and gadgets
Electronics, prototypes and connected devices, designed alongside the software that runs them.
Cloud and data
Postgres, auth, storage and serverless functions, set up for privacy and deletion from day one.
Company
A London tech studio that builds and runs its own products.
Istaco builds and runs every product itself: the devices, the apps, the servers and the support.
Owning the whole product means we answer for all of it: speed, privacy, price and what happens when something breaks.
