Konan
AI-assisted product, designed end to end.
What Konan is
Konan is Niyaz's flagship build — a product designed end to end, from the first sketch of the idea through interface design, engineering and identity.
It started from frustration with tools that were either powerful and ugly, or beautiful and shallow. Konan is the attempt to refuse that trade-off.
The problem it explores
How much of a creative or technical workflow can be made faster and calmer by good interface design plus AI — without turning the whole thing into a chatbot?
Features
Designed as a product, not a demo
Every screen is treated as something a person actually has to live inside.
AI as a material
Model capability wrapped in interface, not exposed as raw prompting.
One coherent system
Type, colour, motion and components defined once and reused everywhere.
Built to keep growing
Architecture chosen so new capability slots in without a redesign.

Development story
Konan has been built in public-facing iterations: an idea, a rough prototype, a rebuild once the shape became clear, then a slow tightening of craft — performance, motion, accessibility and detail. Development is ongoing.
