Independent software studio

Software that
ships — and
keeps running.

Runaway Studios is a Chicago software studio — the corporate-services division behind Intellijoy — building AI-assisted tools and apps, from children's learning apps used by millions of families to AI assistants that work over an ordinary text message.

AI assistants & agents Mobile apps Web tools Automation
50M+

Downloads across Intellijoy's early-learning apps, used by more than 25 million families — a decade-plus of software people rely on every day. That's the bar we build to.

What we do

Four things, done well.

We stay small and take on work where a short path from idea to shipped software matters.

01
AI assistants & agents
Assistants that read, decide, and act across real accounts, tools, and messages — safely and within the permissions you set.
02
Mobile apps
Native and Flutter apps, from educational games for young children to focused daily-use utilities.
03
Web apps & tools
Fast, focused web products — often with a natural-language interface — that do one job well.
04
Automation
Background systems that watch, route, and run tasks on their own, so the work happens without a person in the loop.

Selected work

A few things we've built.

Eight projects across learning apps, AI assistants, mobile, and tooling — from a decade-old app brand to a live private beta.

Work with us

Have something you want built, or a question about the work?

We keep the studio small and the loop short — you talk to the people building it.
