Novum Labs · est. 2026
We build AI for problems that matter.
An applied AI lab. Independent. Anonymous on purpose.
The premise
The interesting problems aren't the ones the market is racing toward. They're the ones it's leaving behind.
Build tools, not products. Tools last; products end up in storage.
Treat intelligence as infrastructure. The right place for AI is upstream of someone's job, not in the way of it.
Work in the open. Document what didn't work, not just what did.
On the bench
Active experiments.
Open call
We're a small lab.
We need engineers, designers, clinicians, policy folks, and writers who want to do this kind of work. The work is part-time, contributor-shaped, occasionally paid, often not. The reason to do it is that the work is worth doing.
