A studio note

Cadinal is an AI startup
in San Francisco building
agentic applications and the
orchestration beneath them.

We prototype the next ten years. The first app opens in May 2026.

What we do

Cadinal designs and builds agentic applications — software where the interesting work is done by language models, tools, and small policies stitched together — alongside the orchestration layer that makes such software safe to ship and pleasant to use.

The studio runs on two disciplines held in one hand: GLSL and creative code on one side, full-stack infrastructure on the other. Cadinal tends to the seam between them.

A short manifesto

The next decade of software will be written largely by agents and felt entirely by humans. Cadinal is interested in the second half of that sentence — the texture, the latency, the small moments where a program either earns or loses your attention.

Cadinal ships prototypes — quickly, repeatedly, with intent — until one of them refuses to die. That one becomes the product. Orchestration, performance, and aesthetics have to hold together at once, or it doesn't ship.

Forthcoming

Later in 2026
App 02
