Practical AI forthe problems no oneelse is solving here.

We’re a small team building AI products for agriculture, education, and veterinary care — shipped from Manila, used by Filipinos.

About01

Stappl is an AI studio in the Philippines. We started in a CS classroom in 2022 and have been shipping products real farmers, students, and clinicians actually use ever since.

How a side project in research turned into a studio that ships applied AI and product engineering across the Philippines.

01Roots

We started in classrooms and labs, chasing problems with code.

Stappl grew out of student research — agricultural sensors and robotics control at Adamson, machine learning experiments that turned into papers, then prototypes, then things people actually used. That habit of asking what if still drives every project we take on.

02Craft

Then we learned to ship — not demo, ship.

Today the studio ships real systems: Pawnec, a practice management platform that runs the day-to-day of veterinary clinics; Vetscribe, the analytics layer that shows clinic owners what is actually happening across their operations; Cerevium, an exam platform licensure reviewers trust during high-stakes prep; and Duon, an indoor wayfinding app that guides people through venues too complex for a map. Each one started as a real problem from a real partner — and each one is in production today, with people depending on it.

03Partnership

Today we build with universities, robotics teams, and clinics.

From a five-week sprint to a year-long platform, we step in as the technical co-founder, the missing engineering team, or the research partner. We listen first, scope hard, and leave behind code other people can keep building on.

Team04

Four founders. One classroom origin story. Four real disciplines: engineering, research, infrastructure, and AI.

We met as computer-science majors at Adamson University and have been building together since. Every product we ship is touched by all four of us — that’s on purpose.

    August 2022

    Humble beginnings

    As computer science majors stepping into something we had little idea about, we joined Batangas State University's pitching competition with no expectations — just to give it a try.
