We build AI systems, then run them ourselves.
cbwstudio is a UK studio building AI agents, automation and the platforms around them, for clients across the UK, Europe and the US. Everything we recommend is already running in production before it is offered to anyone else. Fixed price, async and in writing, nothing outsourced.
Live and open to anyone who wants to check: Instrumental Teachers Hub, the Piano AI Professor app on both stores, and Windsor Piano School.
Three systems, all in production.
Not case studies written after the fact. These run every day, and the AI and automation work we sell was built for them first.
Instrumental Teachers Hub
A subscription platform for professional instrumental teachers — membership, payments, community and an OpenAI Vision feature, designed and shipped end to end.
View the live platform →Piano AI Professor
The companion mobile app, live on the App Store and Google Play since 2025. Token-bridge auth to the web platform, and the AI feature that carries the subscription.
Open it on the App Store →Windsor Piano School
A music school in Windsor and Slough that the studio also operates, and the business the agents run against. Invoicing, payment matching and scheduled posting all happen there daily, against real fees.
Go and look →Things you can go and check.
Every studio claims experience. These are the specific things behind the claim, most of them running in public where you can look at them yourself.
Over 17 years building for the web
Long enough to have shipped on several generations of the stack, and to know which parts of the current one are worth betting a client's budget on.
Automations running in production every day
The n8n workflows on the automation page are not demos. They run unattended inside a music school with 300+ students, 18+ teachers and an official ABRSM exam centre. Invoicing, payment matching and scheduled posting all run there first.
A full SaaS platform, designed and shipped end to end
Instrumental Teachers Hub: the web platform plus the Piano AI Professor companion app, live on the App Store and Google Play since 2025. Architecture, payments, AI feature and store submission — all of it in-house.
Google Ads run on the studio's own money
Live campaigns with the studio's own budget and its own conversion tracking. The advice you get on ads comes from spending it, not from reading about it.
How the work is actually run.
Direct line to engineering
Your brief goes straight to where the work is done. Questions are answered where the code is written, and no part of the build is quietly handed off elsewhere.
Nothing is outsourced
Design, build, integrations and launch all happen here. It is also where the honest limit sits: work is taken on when there is room to do it properly, and you get told when there is not.
Proven before it is proposed
The agents, the subscription platform, the ad account — all of it was built here and is still run here. Nothing gets recommended to you that has not had to survive a real business first.
Fixed price, written scope, and you own it.
Every project is quoted as a fixed price after a short written brief, so you know the number before committing rather than after. 50% to start, 50% on delivery. No hourly billing and no scope that quietly grows.
Communication is text-first. Written updates as the work progresses, replies within one working day, and no standing calls unless you actually want them. It suits people who would rather read a clear update than sit through a status meeting.
You own everything at the end: the code, the design, and every account. Hosting, domains, ad accounts and provider accounts are opened in your name from the start, so your business never sits inside an account controlled by someone else.
That includes the right to leave. There is no proprietary platform to be locked into and no retainer you have to keep paying to keep the lights on. If you want to take the work elsewhere, it goes with you.
A note on who is behind it.
cbwstudio was founded by Edita, who still runs it and still runs Windsor Piano School alongside it — eighteen years established, 18+ teachers, an official ABRSM exam centre. That is not biography for its own sake: it is the business the agents on the automation page run against every day, which is why none of them are demos.
