Who we are

One studio for everything the business runs on.

Kief Studio builds the software, sites, and systems a business runs on, then keeps them running. Tech, art, marketing, data, security, and automation, from one team that knows how the pieces fit together.

Some of our clients have been with us since 2012. One team means no vendor finger-pointing and no starting over every time something changes.

Track record

Proof, in numbers.

For one client, we indexed 121 million records and kept search under a second.

Kief Studio is an authorized METRC API partner, building on the seed-to-sale system regulated cannabis businesses are required to use.

Security is a byproduct of good engineering, so every system we ship is hardened from the start.

LTFI

The Agentic OS we run the studio on.

LTFI is the system we built to run Kief Studio: customers, projects, files, email, and the website in one private place, where AI drafts the work and a person approves it.

Companies that want the same can get their own at ltfi.ai.
