[Who we are]
Culver City's studios, production companies, and growing tech scene work with us to build custom iOS and Android apps, using senior engineers paired with AI to deliver in weeks instead of months.

“Other app developer quoted 10X the price to create a live testable version. DreamLabs pricing structure has meant we can quickly get the app in users hands and see what they think!”

As a fractional product team, we start by defining your vision and sharpening your strategy. We don’t just say “yes,” but always ask “why?”, helping your dev budget go further and faster.
We use AI-accelerated development to help teams of all sizes launch custom, scale-ready digital products. Ship in days/weeks, not months/years.
User testing is a bonus service we offer to all clients for free. This means we learn together from real users with each release.
[What We Do]
Our process for Culver City clients combines AI-assisted architecture, implementation, and testing with direct senior engineering oversight at every step, across iOS and Android. That pairing lets us compress the traditional build timeline while keeping the code quality and performance a production application needs.
We move from requirements to a working prototype quickly and iterate with you in short, visible cycles rather than a long, opaque development phase. Continuous integration and automated testing run throughout, catching issues early instead of at the end of a months-long cycle, and we treat both platforms as first-class rather than porting one to the other after the fact.
Culver City's mix of established studios and newer creative-technology companies means we regularly build apps that need to integrate with content systems, media libraries, or existing brand platforms, and we plan for that during discovery instead of assuming a generic build will fit. The result is a mobile application engineered to perform under real usage, delivered on a timeline that reflects how AI-enabled development compresses the build cycle without cutting corners.
[Deliverables]
Custom mobile apps built for Culver City studios, production companies, and media brands, engineered by senior developers using AI-accelerated development. We handle the full build, from architecture through app store launch, with attention to how the app connects to existing content systems and release schedules.
Cross-platform mobile applications from a single, AI-accelerated codebase for Culver City businesses reaching iOS and Android audiences at once. AI-enabled development speeds up implementation while our engineers keep full ownership of architecture, security, and performance.
Rapid prototyping and integration work for Culver City's creative-technology and production companies, connecting new apps to existing media systems and content platforms. AI-assisted iteration means working screens land in front of you early, so decisions get made with real feedback instead of assumptions.
[FAQs]
Our published tiers anchor the range: prototypes start at $6,000 and full MVPs at $15,000. Our AI-enabled process typically brings a custom cross-platform build to around $20,000 all-in, delivered in about 6 weeks, compared to roughly $200,000 and 6 months at a traditional agency working platform by platform. For companies operating on studio release timelines, that speed matters as much as the savings.
Most projects ship in about 6 weeks with our AI-enabled process, versus the roughly 6-month timeline typical of manual, platform-by-platform development. Senior engineers review everything AI helps generate along the way, which is part of why a typical build runs around $20,000 instead of the roughly $200,000 a traditional agency might charge.
We build in Swift, Kotlin, and Flutter depending on what a project needs, choosing native development, a shared cross-platform codebase, or a mix of the two during discovery. AI accelerates implementation and testing across whichever stack fits, while senior engineers own architecture and review everything before it ships.
Yes. We regularly build for Culver City studios and production companies that need an app connected to existing content management systems, media libraries, or brand platforms. We scope that integration work during discovery and use AI-assisted development to speed up implementation while our engineers own the connection points directly.
[01] Product Strategy
We start by helping you define your long and short-term product visions. We then break down the concepts into concrete features and functions, so we can piece them back together into a prioritized roadmap.
[02] Development
With the framework pinned down, we go heads-down on execution. We leverage AI-powered tooling and a modern Flutter + Firebase stack to develop your product in record time.
[03] Polishing + Launch QA
Your finished product to ensure that each feature works seamlessly, every color is precise and all copy is ready for publication. We then manage the entire app publishing process on mobile, web or both.
