Small, sharp AI apps — built and shipped

A TV tracker, a private fiction library, a crossword builder, an AI typing tutor, a time-travel map explorer, and an assistant that remembers you. Each one live, each one focused.

Design

Every app gets its own look.

Before any code, each app gets a visual identity that fits what it does. Same care, six very different rooms.

01

One job each

Every app starts from a single task, like tracking shows or building a crossword, and leaves out anything that doesn't serve it.

02

A look that fits the subject

Type, color and texture come from what the app is about, so a time machine feels like a starship and a crossword feels like the puzzle page.

03

AI where it earns its place

The AI recommends, tutors, renders and remembers where it makes the app better, never as a gimmick bolted on the side.

About

One person, idea to live link.

emSav is Michael Savastano's studio for small, sharp AI apps. Each one is designed, built and shipped by one person, so the idea stays intact from the first sketch to the live link.

The six apps above are the proof: each is live, each does one thing, and each has its own look.
