About Blank Metal
Blank Metal is a Minneapolis AI studio founded in 2025 by the leadership of GoKart Labs, a product studio that has since closed, with about 30 to 40 people. Claude is its main platform: it builds production agents on the Claude Developer Platform, rebuilds old systems with Claude Code, connects Claude to company systems through MCP servers, and trains teams in Claude Code and Cowork. Anthropic published a customer story about how the firm itself uses Claude, and it is a Select partner in the Claude Partner Network.
Its strongest named case is VMG Health, whose physician compensation valuation software it rebuilt with Claude Code in twelve weeks against an internal estimate of ten months to a year. The case sits in its newsletter; the site has no case study section, and its other figures appear only on LinkedIn without a client named.
It has no outside reviews on any platform and publishes no prices. The ten-year studio record its founders cite belongs to their previous company.
Our verdict
Blank Metal suits a healthcare or mid-market company that wants an aging application rebuilt with Claude Code, or its people trained on Claude by a team that uses it for most of its own engineering.
The case for it is the VMG Health rebuild, twelve weeks against an estimate of nearly a year, and Anthropic's own customer story about the firm.
The cautions are youth and record. It was founded in 2025, has one named case with figures and no outside reviews, and its longer track record belongs to the founders' previous studio. Ask VMG Health how the rebuilt system has run since launch.
