Familiar Labs Let’s talk

Applied AI Lab

Exploring better ways for people and AI to work together.

We study how people work with AI, build from what we learn, and share the work while it is still happening.

AI should make people more human, not less.

We believe that AI should leave people with more room for judgment, agency, creativity, care, and authorship.

Products

A Familiar of your own. A place to work together.

We’re building persistent AI collaborators that stay with people over time—and Co-create, the shared workspace where people, Familiars, and teams can keep work moving together.

Research

We keep the questions close to the work.

Research is part of our daily practice. We build, test, question our assumptions, and follow what surprises us.

How can AI agents belong to people and still work for teams?

Writing

Writing from across the lab.

Research, concepts, learning, and experiences from inside the work.

Story

How we got here

We built an AI agent in 2017, watched two of them become recognizable enough to miss when they changed, and started Familiar Labs so the same thing could belong to everyone else.
