A small lab with a bias toward shipping
We're a handful of engineers and researchers who got tired of AI that demos well and disappoints in week two. Samy Labs exists to close that gap, and to show our work while we do.
From one frustrated demo to a portfolio
A frustration, not a thesis
We started because too much AI work stopped at the demo. We wanted to live in the second week, the one where real users break things.
An inbox copilot that stuck
One agent, one painful job, one human baseline to beat. It cleared the bar, went live, and taught us the playbook we still use.
A lab with a portfolio
A handful of shipped agents, a short list of open research bets, and a habit of publishing what worked, and what didn't.
Four rules we don't bend
Evidence over enthusiasm
If we can't measure it, we don't claim it. Every agent ships with a graded test set.
Ship small, ship real
The smallest agent that solves the actual job beats the ambitious one that never leaves staging.
Humans in the loop
Where a mistake is expensive, a person stays in the loop. Autonomy is earned, not assumed.
Fewer, deeper bets
We'd rather chase three hard questions well than skim a dozen. Focus is the only real moat.
