You’re probably looking for jik.ai, the agentic education platform that gives teachers their time back.
Its agents draft the planning, marking, reporting and chasing, and a person approves. Come and see it in the Startup Zone, ExCeL London, 20–22 January.
Go to jik.aiNo Pish, No Posh.Just Really Comfy Tech.
We make websites, web apps and mobile apps that feel like your favourite hoodie. Serious about Engineering. And Jaffa Cakes.
Arrow keys move it, Escape puts it back.
JRC Technology is a small studio of engineers and designers. We build websites, web apps and mobile apps that are seriously engineered and really comfy to use. We sweat the details so your users never have to.
JRC stands for Just Really Comfy. (It used to stand for something sensible. We forgot what.)
TypeScript all the way down, tests that actually run, and code your next developer will send us flowers for.
Interfaces that make sense the first time. If someone needs a manual, we go back to the sofa and try again.
You talk to the people building it. No account managers, no ticket black holes, just a group chat that replies.

The database GUI that feels like a beanbag.
Browse, query and tidy your data without the cold sweat. Migrations explain themselves and undo actually undoes.
Team chat with the volume turned down.

Ships on Fridays. Comfortably.
Previews for every branch, health checks that check, and a rollback button big enough to hit with your elbow.

We’ll knit you one. Bring the idea, we’ll bring the blankets.
Let’s make yoursLike a good duvet, our process has layers, and each one is there for a reason. Here’s the whole thing, start to snug.
We put the kettle on and listen. What bugs your users, what success looks like, what absolutely must not break. No 90-slide decks, promise.

Napkin doodles become clickable prototypes you can poke on your own phone. We test with real people early, while changes are still cheap.

Our clients say lovely things. We printed them on cards so you can throw them about.
Drag the top card, or use ← → when the pile is focused.
They shipped our booking app on a Friday afternoon, then went to the pub. Nothing broke. I have never felt so relaxed about software.
Tell us what you’re dreaming up. We reply like friends, quote like grown-ups and build like it’s going to be used every day, because it is.
We’ll reply within a working day. Probably sooner.
