hello@aetherworks.ioFounders, operators, agencies: a written reply within one business day.
Toronto, local time
--:--
A product studio, small on purpose.
AetherWorks designs and builds web, mobile and AI products from Toronto, in French and in English. The person who scopes your product designs it and writes the code, with trusted specialists when a build needs more hands.
What we build
Three ways in, one team on all of them.
Web and mobile products
SaaS, client portals, operational software. From spec to production, or from your MVP to something you can sell.
AI features that hold up
Document processing, intake and routing, assisted workflows, with evaluations and running costs visible.
Builds under your brand
Product and web work for agencies in Toronto and Québec. Your client, your name, our build.
How the studio is set up
The person who scopes the product designs it and writes the code. A written spec before any build is quoted, a working demo every week, the repository and infrastructure yours from day one.
Nicolas Santos founded the studio after running a four-person product studio in France, two years as principal product manager at a Toronto digital agency, and five-plus years as the build partner behind a Toronto B2B agency. What the layers of a traditional agency cost, in money and in what gets lost between them, is not a theory here.

The habits
How every engagement runs, whatever its size.
Spec before code
Every build starts from a written spec with acceptance criteria.
Proven technology, owned by you
Widely supported stacks a future developer will recognize. The repository and infrastructure are yours from day one.
Measure everything
Monitoring, analytics, and the target number ship with the first release.
Working software every week
You see the product run every week, starting with the first.
Sized to the problem
No bench to feed, so no pressure to sell more than the problem needs.
Start with a Discovery.
Two sentences start it. Here is what happens next.
It’s --:-- in Toronto. Write now and you’ll hear back by ….
