Builder lab · Switzerland
AI agents, machines and real craft under one roof. Every idea starts as an MVP. What survives becomes a product, sometimes its own company.
See the projectsIdeas become MVPs as fast as possible, then move through four stages. After each stage we decide: continue or stop.
RapidRocket GmbH
A problem we run into ourselves: in a studio, in the workshop or at the desk.
GateWorth building?
Several. Not public yet.
The smallest version that works. Just enough to test the idea for real.
GateDoes anyone use it?
Real users, real load. We measure, fix and improve.
GateCan it stand on its own?
Own company
It leaves the lab and continues as its own company, with its own team.
Stopping is a result, not a failure. It frees the workshop for the next idea.
Six things we build and run right now. Some are made of steel and oak, some of code.
Furniture and tools for high-frequency beauty studios: steel-and-oak trolleys, manicure stations, displays and instruments. Still part of RapidRocket: designed in our workshop, in daily use across the BeautySpace studios.
The agentic dev environment for Mac and iPhone. Your agents build at home, you steer from anywhere.

A fidget for your nervous system. Sound, haptics and light answer your hand. Ten seconds, not ten minutes.

Snap. Speak. Remember. A micro-journal for photos, voice notes and short thoughts. No streaks, no guilt.

Kitchen things made in Switzerland. First up: the Gwürzböxli, an oak spice holder with four removable glasses and a steel spoon.

Walk-in studios for nails, lashes and brows across Zurich, Zug, Winterthur, Rapperswil and Baden. Started in the lab, now its own company, and still the test ground for everything the Hardware Lab builds.

Current project
The trolley for the pedicure stations in the BeautySpace studios. Everything within reach on an oak top, carried by a welded steel frame. Designed and built in our workshop.
How the manicure station came to be. Most of our hardware takes the same three steps.
Pencil first. Lamp, display, LED and cable routing are decided on paper.
Steel frame, black top, our own welds. The first version is built in our workshop.
Into the studio, under full load. What holds up gets the Hardware Lab plaque.
