We build domain-expert AI agents and supervised workflows that help people face the hardest parts of their craft. The agent does the relentless work; the professional stays in charge.Two products and one consulting practice—at the bench, at the bar, and inside the modern law firm.
The scientist signs the experiment. The attorney owns the work product. External actions wait for an authorized person.
Confidence comes from provenance. Material claims, authorities, and outputs trace back to a source that can be checked.
We work with the systems and review points a team already relies on instead of asking people to operate around another generic chatbot.
Product · At the bench
The wet-lab protocol research agent.
Labee is a research workspace built around reusable protocols. It helps teams plan experiments, investigate methods, organize files, and reason through results without losing the scientist’s control of the work.
Capture a protocol once, then run, adapt, and improve it across experiments.
Keep methods, source material, files, and analysis together in one workspace.
Use a desktop app or a server deployment with storage under your control.
Product · At the bar
A local-first multi-agent system for California civil litigation.
AttyMate coordinates a supervised team of legal agents across intake, facts and evidence, research, drafting, QA, docket checks, and calendaring—while the attorney keeps every decision that matters.
Its workflows are source-bound, matter-separated, and gated so filing, serving, sending, or spending waits for the supervising attorney.
Build reviewable motions, declarations, orders, and related work product from matter sources.
Research authorities and independently re-check citations before they reach a draft.
Keep sources, writable outputs, approvals, and external actions inside explicit boundaries.
Consulting · For U.S. law firms
We design a bounded pilot around a real bottleneck—visibility, content, documents, billing, task flow, or shared context—then test it with the people who own the outcome.
Make expertise easier for search engines, AI systems, and prospective clients to understand.
Turn recurring manual review into source-linked, human-approved work queues.
