THAT LAB

THAT Production SolutionsTechnology arm

Less clicking.More making.

We build software that takes the repetitive work off designers, editors and agencies, so the hours go back to the idea.

000 jobs done

Every week someone rebuilds a deck by hand, exports one film in twenty sizes and renames four hundred files before lunch. We write the code so nobody has to.

What we build

Four ways
we get you
your time back

  1. 01 The red machine next to a printed page and the same layout as a slide

    Convert

    Files that move between apps with their text, tables and images still editable, instead of being rebuilt from scratch.

    See Deck Bridge
  2. 02 The red machine feeding out a row of the same frame in different sizes

    Version

    One master in, every size, length and naming convention out. Your team reviews instead of repeats.

    Post-production automation
  3. 03 The red machine beside a stack of pages under a magnifying loupe

    Assist

    AI handles the repetitive passes, and a person checks the output before it leaves.

    AI, human-reviewed
  4. 04 The red machine beside black, white and red blocks snapping into a tool

    Build

    A step you repeat on every project? We build a tool or plug-in for it, inside the apps you already use.

Deck Bridge

Turn an InDesign file into a PowerPoint your client can edit, and back again. Word and Keynote too. Text stays text, tables stay tables, and it runs offline on Mac and Windows.

    Build

    Shape the tool around how your team already works.

  3. 03

    Test

    Run it on real files and compare against the original.
