How each company describes itself
Fantasy
Fantasy calls itself an “AI-Native Digital Product Design Agency” under the line “Lead by Design.” It describes itself as “The creative company chosen by leaders to envision tomorrow—and launch it today.” The site lists three services: AI Strategy & Execution, Product Innovation, and Brand & Identity. The framing is about creating “Intelligent Experiences” and helping clients transform “their platforms, people, and process.”
The site states 25 years of operating (founded 1999) and features LIV Golf as a case study. Team size, offices, and pricing are not stated.
Humbleteam
We are a 49-person product design company in Prague and Dubai. Our AI service is agents installed inside your existing design team, running in your accounts. They take handoff, resizing, asset production, design QA, and design-to-code, and a human reviews everything before it ships.
The design work around that covers 30+ major banks, 56 fintechs, and 30+ healthtech platforms studied, plus a sports app benchmark we rerun every four weeks.
Three reasons teams pick us over Fantasy
They lead with strategy and innovation programs. We lead with shipped product work.
Our AI service runs inside your team
Our agents are installed in your workspace, on your billing, with a human review gate. Each one does a named job: handoff, resizing, asset production, design QA, or design-to-code. A fixed-price audit tells you which ones are worth installing before you commit.
We publish our sports research
We benchmark 27 leading sports apps every four weeks and audited every one of them feature by feature. We published 12 fan-behavior trends from 100 interviews. If the brief is matchday, ticketing, or streaming, that research already exists.
You can start small
An innovation program is a large first purchase. Ours starts with a fixed-price audit. The audit is small and useful on its own.

When Fantasy is the better call
Three briefs where they are the right hire.
You are deciding what to build
A vision program that reframes a category for an executive team is their stated business. If your board needs a direction before anything gets built, that is their product.
You want AI strategy above the design layer
Their AI Strategy & Execution service covers platforms, people, and process. Ours covers the design pipeline. For company-wide AI strategy, theirs is the right service.
You want a long track record
Fantasy has operated since 1999. For some buyers, 25 years in the market is the deciding factor, and we cannot match it.

Questions?
What is the difference between “AI-native” and your AI infrastructure?
Fantasy uses AI-native as positioning and sells AI Strategy & Execution as a service. Our AI infrastructure is agents installed in your own accounts. They do handoff, resizing, asset production, design QA, and design-to-code, with a human review gate before anything merges.
We work in sport. Who knows the category better?
Compare the published research. Ours: 27 leading apps benchmarked every four weeks and audited feature by feature, and 12 trends drawn from 100 fan interviews. Fantasy features LIV Golf as a case study.
Is Fantasy more expensive?
Neither company publishes prices. Our engagement starts with a fixed-price audit, then scoped implementation, then an optional monthly retainer. The audit keeps the first purchase small.
Can you do the vision work too?
Partly. We do product strategy, roadmap, and research: “We define product strategy, set the roadmap, and decide what’s worth building—and what’s not.” We do not sell category-level innovation programs to executive boards. For that, Fantasy is the closer fit.
