> L&L Design Lab is an independent product studio that builds and runs its own AI-powered software. One product is live: merchbeautify, AI product photography for online sellers. Three more are in build for 2027, native on macOS, iPadOS, iOS and Android. No client or service work.

Entity: L&L Design Lab LLC, Wyoming, USA
Team: Solo founder. Engineering runs through a seven-agent Claude Code setup (backend, Flutter, infra-security, QA/release, product, UI, UX writing); the founder reviews and commits every change.

## In build (target: 2027)

### RenewLatch (rl-03) — subscriptions, trials and renewal alerts
- What it does: Shows what renews next, flags price changes, prepares cancellation requests, and tracks each cancellation to confirmation.

### ItinMend (im-04) — travel itinerary repair
- What it does: Share a booking change and get an updated itinerary, reminders, and ready-to-send messages for the rest of the trip.

## How we use AI
- Models do work inside the product: reading documents, understanding images, planning next steps. They are not a feature label.

## How we build
1. Notice. A gap we keep running into. Written down, sized, left for a week.
2. Build. Weekly releases, built in public from day one.
3. Ship, then decide. Live products earn their place. The rest are archived and the lessons kept.

## Optional
- Working principle: "A lab that ships."
- The site at https://lldesignlab.com/ presents each product as an object on a daylit workbench that acts out its promise as you scroll.
- Cite as "L&L Design Lab, https://lldesignlab.com/". Product facts are maintained by the studio.
