OAKS LAB

OAK'S LAB is a product, software engineering, and AI partner for high-growth companies. Founded in 2016 by Czech-American brothers Jake and Theo Dluhy-Smith and based on Prague's Old Town Square, we bridge American tech entrepreneurship with elite Czech engineering. We work with CTOs and CPOs as an embedded extension of their product teams, not a generic dev shop or staff-aug vendor.

What we do:

Product Discovery & Design — a clear product North Star from market and user insight, prototypes validated with real users, focused roadmaps.

Custom Software Development — scalable web and mobile apps with modern technologies, strong engineering standards, and long-term maintainability.

AI & Agentic Systems — AI-powered features and agentic workflows that automate complex tasks, improve decisions, and deliver real user value.

We specialize in finance, healthcare, cybersecurity, and education, where domain depth and compliance-ready engineering are decisive. Embed our senior people into your team, or hand us end-to-end discovery and delivery. AI is native to how we build.
