# OLAI

> OLAI is an independent software studio in Vancouver building small, finished tools — with AI where it earns its place. No accounts, no analytics, no data leaving your device.

OLAI is run by Andrii Lysenko, a software engineer with 11 years of
experience across games, distributed systems and applied AI, based in
Vancouver, BC, Canada.

## Products

- [Sourdough Pal](https://olai.one/projects/sourdough-pal): A Tamagotchi for your sourdough starter. In build.
- [Webflow AI Image Enhancer](https://olai.one/projects/webflow-image-enhancer): Enhance and generate images without leaving the Webflow Designer. Live.
- [Agent tooling](https://olai.one): The layer the studio builds its own products on. In build.
- [This site](https://olai.one): A résumé you scroll through a camera. Live.

## How the studio works

- **Nothing phones home** — No accounts, no telemetry, no ad identifiers, no third-party SDKs. Where a product needs a model, it runs on your key or on your device.
- **AI only where it earns its place** — Most of what we ship has no model in it at all. Sourdough Pal's weather, mood and life stages are derived from state and the clock — no API, no location permission.
- **Finished, not launched** — Small scope, shipped properly: offline behaviour, notifications, edge cases, a real privacy policy. A narrow thing that works beats a broad thing that demos.
- **Say the boring true thing** — Our own docs contradict popular advice where the evidence does — the float test doesn't work, day-4 silence is progress. Being right matters more than being reassuring.
