Building at the frontier of agentic AI
We build AI products and publish what we learn along the way. Research, tools, and open knowledge from the cutting edge.
What we're exploring
Our research focus
We build products and conduct research across several areas of agentic AI. Here's what we're working on.
Autonomous Agents
Agents that reason, plan, and execute multi-step tasks with minimal human oversight. We study how to make them reliable enough for production.
Multi-Agent Orchestration
Coordinating teams of specialized AI agents that collaborate, debate, and synthesize — the architecture behind Kapwa's Symphony Mode.
Long-Horizon Research
Deep research agents that work over days and weeks, building on their own findings to produce continuously evolving analysis.
Applied AI Engineering
Turning research into shipped products. Streaming architectures, semantic memory, tool use, and the engineering that makes AI systems work.

Our Products
Kapwa
Our flagship AI product — an advisor platform where users select from hundreds of specialized personas — historical figures, domain experts, and fictional strategists — for multi-perspective conversations powered by ensemble AI orchestration.
What's next
Long-horizon deep research
We're building a research agent that doesn't stop after one answer. It produces a report, then continues working — running deeper analysis, finding new connections, and updating its findings daily. Research that compounds over time.
Continuous research reports
Imagine a research report that updates itself. The agent performs an initial deep dive, delivers findings, then keeps working in the background — running increasingly complex analyses that build on previous results. Each day, the report gets deeper and more nuanced.

Weekly Gen AI headlines for builders, plus the papers that define the field.
SpaceX goes public — and xAI rides along
SpaceX IPO'd on Nasdaq under ticker SPCX at $135/share, raising $75 billion — the largest IPO in history. The kicker: xAI is bundled inside, making SPCX a bet on rockets, Starlink, and frontier AI under one roof. First-day close: ~$161, implied market cap ~$2 trillion. The AI IPO era has a new benchmark.
3D-Layout-R1: Structured Reasoning for Language-Instructed Spatial Editing
This paper addresses the limitation of large language and vision-language models in maintaining spatial consistency during fine-grained visual editing by introducing a structured reasoning framework that operates over scene graphs. By reformulating text-conditioned spatial editing as explicit graph reasoning rather than end-to-end generation, the method enables precise manipulation of object layouts through natural language instructions while preserving geometric coherence. The work establishes structured scene-graph reasoning as a necessary intermediate representation for bridging high-level linguistic commands with geometrically consistent spatial editing in 3D environments.
A Mechanistic View on Video Generation as World Models: State and Dynamics
Decomposes video world models into two pillars: state construction (implicit — context in transformer activations, vs explicit — compressed latent tokens or 3D scene statistics) and dynamics modeling (how models integrate physical knowledge and architectural priors). Argues evaluation must shift from visual fidelity to functional benchmarks: physical persistence, causal reasoning, and task-supportable dynamics. Identifies two frontier challenges — persistence and causality.
