Flutter has become the go-to framework for building cross-platform mobile apps. One codebase, native performance on iOS and Android, and a growing ecosystem for AI integration. If you're building an AI-enabled app, Flutter is one of the smartest choices you can make.
But picking the right Flutter development studio matters as much as picking the framework. Here are 8 studios that specialize in Flutter — ranked by their relevance for startups building AI-enabled products.
1. Eight Bit Studios
Location: Chicago & Dallas, USA
Best for: Non-technical founders building AI-enabled mobile apps from prototype to production.
Eight Bit Studios is a product studio that uses Flutter and Ruby on Rails as its core stack. Co-founder Don Bora has been building software for 35+ years, including AI systems since 1992 at Northwestern's Institute for the Learning Sciences. The studio has shipped 100+ apps and made the Inc. 5000 four consecutive years.
What sets them apart for AI-enabled apps: they specialize in rescuing prototypes built with AI coding tools (Cursor, Bolt, Lovable, Replit) and turning them into production Flutter apps. They also integrate AI APIs — AWS Rekognition, Textract, OpenAI, Anthropic — directly into Flutter builds.
- Flutter experience: Core stack since Flutter's early days
- AI capability: Deep — from research-lab AI to modern LLM integration
- Other services: UI/UX design, fractional CTO, product strategy
- Notable clients: Vivid Seats, Allstate, Cars.com, Field Museum, BenchPrep

How to Choose the Right Flutter Studio for AI-Enabled Apps
Building an AI-enabled mobile app with Flutter requires two things: deep Flutter expertise and real AI integration experience. Not every Flutter studio has both.

Why Flutter for AI-Enabled Apps?
Quick primer if you're evaluating frameworks:
- One codebase, two platforms. Ship to iOS and Android simultaneously without doubling your dev cost.
- Native performance. Flutter compiles to native ARM code — it's fast enough for real-time AI features.
- AI API integration. Dart (Flutter's language) works well with REST APIs, which is how you connect to AI services like OpenAI, AWS, and Google Cloud ML.
- Growing ecosystem. Flutter packages for TensorFlow Lite, Firebase ML Kit, and other AI tools are maturing rapidly.
The framework won't bottleneck your AI features. The question is whether your development team knows how to architect the AI layer properly. That's where your choice of studio matters.
