About Us
The Story of MiniCode
MiniCode LLC is the parent company behind four independent AI products — Askais, MiniDraw, MiniBot and MiniRouter. We started in 2023 with a single AI document tool — the product that would later be rebranded as Askais — and have since grown into a multi-brand AI portfolio operated by one shared engineering team.
Our Mission
- 01
Build and operate focused, independent AI brands rather than a single super-app.
- 02
Bring AI out of the chat window — into documents, art, hardware and APIs.
- 03
Keep each product easy to adopt and easy to leave: open formats, open APIs.
- 04
Stay small and ship fast, with one shared team across four product lines.
Our Story
Our story began in 2023, when a small team built and launched our very first AI tool — a simple product that turned a short prompt into a finished document. It found a quick audience and, within months, a clear identity of its own.
In 2024 the original tool was reworked and rebranded as Askais (askais.com), and MiniCode LLC was formally incorporated as the parent company for what we hoped would become a portfolio of independent AI brands. Over the next two years three more product lines joined that portfolio: MiniDraw (AI image generation), MiniRouter (unified LLM API router) and MiniBot (our AI companion robot dog, currently in R&D).
Today MiniCode LLC operates four independent AI brands. Each product has its own customers, its own roadmap and its own personality. What they share is a single engineering team — small, deliberate, shipping every week — and a single hub at minicode.biz.

Core Values
Focus
Each MiniCode brand solves one job extremely well — no kitchen-sink super-app, no half-finished modules.
Independence
Every product keeps its own identity, its own customers and its own roadmap; MiniCode is only the umbrella.
Speed
We ship every week across all four brands. Real users get real improvements faster than they get marketing emails.
Craft
Whether it's a document, an image, a robot dog or an API gateway, every MiniCode brand is built with obsessive attention to detail.
Our Vision
Ship MiniBot's first early-access batch and grow Askais, MiniDraw and MiniRouter to 1 million combined active users.
On track across the four brands.
Become a household-name parent company for independent AI brands, with each MiniCode product recognised in its own right.
Long-term portfolio vision.
We don't think the next decade of AI belongs to a single super-app. It belongs to a handful of focused, well-crafted products that respect what users actually want. MiniCode is our bet on that thesis — built one brand at a time.
