Building ProductsWith a Small Team + AI

Crouton Creations is a bootstrapped product lab. We explore what's possible when a small team pushes the boundaries of AI-powered development and share everything we learn along the way.

Building in Public

We document everything—what works, what doesn't, and what we learn. Product launches, technical deep-dives, and honest retrospectives. No spam, just real insights from the experiments.

Our Approach

The Lab Model

We believe small AI-powered teams can build what used to require much larger organizations. Each product is an experiment to test that thesis.

Experiment Often

Every product is an experiment. We ship, learn, iterate. Some will fail, but that's the model working.

Build What We Use

We're our own first customers. Real problems we face, real solutions we'd pay for.

Stay Nimble

Small team, no coordination overhead. Ideas become products in days, not quarters.
