Applied AI that
breaks monopoly workflows
We find the one bottleneck everyone accepts as “normal”, then build a tighter product that wins on speed, clarity, and cost.
$ detect_bottleneck --industry "finance"
✓ Found: document intake → extraction → review loop (slow + costly)
$ ship --prototype --days 7
✓ Output: a laser-focused product that does one thing insanely well
What we obsess over: shipping, not slides.
A repeatable playbook for real products
My take: most AI startups fail because they ship generic assistants. We win by shipping a single workflow upgrade that users can feel on day one.
Find the bottleneck
We map the workflow and locate the step that creates the most delay, cost, or vendor lock-in.
Design a narrow wedge
Instead of building “everything”, we build one sharp feature that makes the entire process feel new.
Ship in weekly loops
Every week delivers something customers can touch: a result, a prototype, a measurable improvement.
Make it production-grade
Security, observability, and cost controls are not add-ons — they are part of the first release.
Intelligence should be
applied, not theoretical
While others publish papers, we ship products. While research labs chase benchmarks, we chase real-world impact. The gap between AI capability and AI utility remains vast—we exist to close it.
Every product we build starts with a simple question: what industry is overcharging for something AI can do better? Legal research. Document processing. Developer workflows. Test preparation. We find the friction, then we eliminate it.
Where we're building
We pick our battles carefully. Each focus area represents an industry ripe for disruption—where AI can deliver 10x value, not 10% improvements.
Legal Intelligence
Transforming how legal professionals research, analyze, and deliver insights. AI-powered case analysis that rivals Bloomberg Terminal—at a fraction of the cost.
Document Intelligence
Enterprise-grade document processing that actually understands context. RAG systems that work in the real world, not just in demos.
Developer Experience
Tools that make developers faster, safer, and more productive. From code review to security scanning, AI that integrates into existing workflows.
Education & Assessment
Intelligent preparation and assessment systems that adapt to each learner. Making quality education accessible and affordable.

Want CortexLabs to build your wedge?
If you can describe a workflow that feels slow, expensive, or locked behind a vendor — we can usually prototype a better path in a week and validate it with real users.
