From idea to production — no seniors, no shortcuts. We ship.
We don't study AI. We just ship it.

About us

An AI-Native Builder Crew That Starts from Real Problems, Builds Without Senior Guidance, and Makes "Wait, This Actually Works?" a Reality

WIGTN is an independent development crew of five AI engineers. We start from real-world friction — the tangible inconveniences people face in everyday life and in the field — and take ideas all the way to production-grade systems, without relying on senior mentorship or hand-holding.

We don't build demos. We build products that make people say, "Wait, this actually works?" We move fast, but we deliver results that leave a lasting impression — creating meaningful impact in remarkably short timeframes.

Through hackathons, open-source projects, and community education, we learn by doing, proving what a small team of builders can accomplish in the AI-Native era.

Our Products

Mobile apps we're building right now.

Coming Soon

WIGEX

Plan, track, and relive every trip — from budget to boarding pass home.

Before You Go

AI builds your daily budget based on destination, travel style, and length of stay — so you land with a plan, not a guess.

While You're There

Snap any receipt in any language. WIGEX reads it in seconds, converts to your home currency at the day-of-purchase rate, and tracks spending against your budget in real time. Split bills, check exchange rates, and stay on track — all in one tap.

When You're Back

Get a full stats dashboard — by category, destination, and day. Share a travel card to Instagram, KakaoTalk, and other social platforms, level up your traveler profile, and relive the trip through your spending story.
