Circleheads
We take a few engagements a year, when the fit is right.
An applied-AI software studio. We build applied AI in production, take a small consulting bench, and ship original games on the side.
Who we are
Circleheads is a two-person studio born and based out of Brooklyn, NY. The name comes from the traffic circle we grew up around on the southwest corner of Prospect Park, Bartel-Pritchard Square, where Park Slope meets Windsor Terrace — our friend group got called the circleheads, and it stuck. It's Ieuan (product design + technical anthropology — the human side of applied AI — plus skill-building, agent testing, front-end, and procedural 3D) and Blaise (full-stack systems, agent tooling, and the verification and evaluation layers that keep outputs honest) — friends since we were ten.
What we do
Applied AI
Agentic systems that do real work.
We watch the work first. Then we ship agents that do it in production — with the data they need, the skills they use, and approval gates that keep humans in control.
Consulting
A short bench, senior only.
A few engagements a year, taken when the fit is right: architecture, AI strategy, brand identity, and design that ships.
Games
Strange things, quietly built.
Original titles built in-house, on scopes two people can hold in their heads. Not ready to show you — which is exactly how we like it.
How we build
We watch the work before we build. Then we ship a production system: the data it needs, the skills it uses, and approval gates that keep humans in control. Discovery and validation come first; the interface is what makes an agent legible and worth trusting.
Working together
If you have real work for an agent to do — or a system that needs the human side gotten right — we'd like to hear about it. We take a small number of projects a year, and the fastest way to reach us is through the studio.
