Oakland, California

An AI-native software studio.

We build our own products, starting with Latch, a Mac app for multicam sync. We take on selected client and government work.

01 · First product

Latch

Latch lines every camera up to the master audio recording and writes a DaVinci Resolve timeline on your Mac. It listens to the audio, not file clocks or jammed timecode. Failed clips stay visible and say why. Original files never move.

Local only. No account, no upload. Sync will be free. Export needs a license.

02 · Client work

Software and customer paths for service businesses.

For established service businesses: yards, trades, practices. We design and build the front door customers use, and the tools your team needs once work arrives. Diagnose first, then build only as far as the problem requires.

Services and engagements

03 · Government

The same studio, on public work.

ABSRB Labs also takes government contracts. The method does not change: diagnose first, build only as far as the problem requires, and keep the person who diagnosed the problem on the build.

Government

04 · Studio

Independent, Oakland, and small on purpose.

ABSRB Labs is led by William Kwao. One rule holds no matter how the studio grows:

The person who diagnoses your problem is the one who fixes it.
