Introducing Mage - AI image generation built for teams

AI image generation has gotten very good. But the tools around it haven’t kept up. Everyone on your team has their own account, their own API key, their own scattered folder of outputs. When someone finds a great prompt, they paste it into Slack. When finance asks about usage, everyone shrugs.

Mage is a shared workspace for AI image generation. One API key, one bill, everyone in sync. When someone on your team generates an image, it appears in a shared library. When they find a prompt that works, they save it as a template. When finance asks about usage, you have the numbers, tracked per person and visible to anyone who needs it. The interface is minimal and technical. No candy colors, no visual noise, just a focused space where images come first.

We also built Agent Mode for when you don’t want to wrestle with prompts. It combines LLMs with image generation models so you can create through natural conversation. Describe what you want, iterate with feedback, and let the agent handle the prompting. It’s slower and more expensive than direct generation, but the results are worth it.

You can use any model available on fal.ai. In Agent mode, we’ve selected the best models for conversational creation. Bring your own API key. Your images, your usage, your data.

Meet Ben – One Designer’s Quest to Bring Back Digital Tactility

Youcai is a designer at our studio who’s always been drawn to the emotional side of product design. You might know his previous work on these projects. Recently, he’s been exploring interaction design through a personal side project called Ben, a journaling app built entirely around "feel" rather than features. We sat down with him to understand what happens when you throw out the growth playbook and design purely for delight.

Introducing Fiche - Chat With Your Notes

There's a particular kind of guilt that comes from having too many notes. You keep telling yourself you'll organize them someday, that there's value buried in there, that past you was doing future you a favor. But the folders grow and the tags multiply and eventually you stop looking. The archive becomes a kind of graveyard.

A Fresh Start

We’re excited to unveil the new website, a complete reimagining of how we present our work, our team, and our services to the world.

Our previous website served us well, but as we evolved, our needs changed. We wanted a site that better reflects who we are today: a small, focused team that values craft, clarity, and thoughtful interactions.

The new site introduces a cohesive visual system built around subtle interactions. We also rethought how you explore our portfolio. The work section now offers powerful filtering by year, sector, or service, along with instant search across all projects.

Performance was a priority throughout. Built with Astro, the result is a site that feels instant, even on slower connections. And yes, dark mode is fully supported.

A website is never truly finished. We’ll keep refining interactions, adding case studies, and sharing what we learn along the way. Here’s to the next chapter.

Connect the dots with Pastok

Pastok is an iOS and Apple Watch app that captures and organizes important moments from your conversations and daily life. Using AI, it automatically pulls out action items, decisions, and key details from meetings—so you can focus on what matters instead of taking notes.

We’re excited to work on this project because integrating AI into daily life on a portable device that’s always with us is truly meaningful. The moments when it sparks something in conversation or reminds us of something important we might have forgotten are genuinely amazing.

Buffet, 7 Million and 2 Years Later

The date was September 5th, 2023. I remember telling three of our clients at the time that I wanted to try out a new model. It was like Netflix: you pay a fixed fee each month, and we deliver unlimited designs. The only safeguard I could think of to protect us from getting overwhelmed was to limit the number of concurrent requests.

Relaunching HEM

Four years ago, we helped launch HEM Records. Since then, with four graduating classes from HEM Education, 127 producers have published 392 releases under the label. That is not only a milestone for us as a label but also an important moment for the Chinese electronic music scene.

Mise en place

We've been using the same project management tools as everyone else for years, and honestly? They're kind of annoying. You know the drill: paying per seat as your team grows, wrestling with features that almost do what you need, and constantly adapting your workflow to fit someone else's idea of how teams should work.

Tools We Made as a Design Team

A few years ago we wrote Tools We Use In 2020 to share some of the tools we use to make our work, long before remote work became a global phenomenon. We even made a full blown page called Remote dedicated to the tools we use.

Looking back that was remote work at its infancy. Now with the power of accessible AI, everyone, I mean literally everyone is building tools to help them work better. So today I'm glad to share some of the tools we made as a design team.
