About Kanaeru AI
Who Kanaeru AI is, what we believe about AI-native software delivery, and how we are structured.
Kanaeru AI is the delivery brand of Kanaeru Labs, an AI-native software studio based in Osaka, Japan. We build and ship production software for founders and engineering teams who need an outcome, not an estimate.
The name
Kanaeru (叶える) is Japanese for "to grant" or "to make come true". We picked it because the job is not to write code - it is to make the thing the client imagined actually exist, in production, working.
What we believe
Demos are not deliverables. An AI-generated prototype that runs once on a laptop is not software. We consider a project delivered when it is deployed in the client's own infrastructure, covered by tests, documented, and handed over with full IP transfer.
AI does the volume, humans own the judgement. We use agentic workflows for scaffolding, refactoring, test generation and documentation. Architecture, security decisions, data modelling and the final review stay with senior engineers. This is what we call Review-Driven Design (RDD).
The spec is the contract. Most failed projects fail in the requirements, not the code. Spec-Driven Development (SDD) means we write the specification, you approve it, and the specification - not a Slack thread - defines what "done" means.
Verification beats reporting. Every milestone comes with evidence you can check yourself: passing test output, a deployment log, a staging URL. You should never have to take our word for progress.
How we are structured
Kanaeru Labs is a small senior team augmented by an internal fleet of specialised AI agents - implementation, testing, review, integration and documentation agents - orchestrated by human engineers. That is how a 5-to-30 day delivery window is possible without cutting the review steps.
Founder and lead engineer: Shreyas Shinde (Osaka, Japan). Read more at https://www.kanaeru.ai/team/shreyas
What we work on
Full-stack TypeScript (Next.js, React, Node.js), Python, PostgreSQL and MongoDB, deployed to AWS, GCP, Azure, Vercel, Railway, Render or Fly.io. On the AI side: LangChain and LangGraph agents, retrieval-augmented generation, and LLM evaluation and observability with LangSmith, Traceloop and RAGAS.
Working languages
English and Japanese (日本語対応). We work with Japanese clients in Japanese, and international clients in English, without a translation layer in between.
