About Workshop Labs
We’re building the AI economy for humans. While everyone else tries to automate the world top-down, we believe in augmenting people bottom-up.
Our vision is for everyone to have a personal AI aligned to their goals and values, helping them stay durably relevant in a post-AGI economy. As a public benefit corporation, we have a fiduciary duty to ensure that as AI becomes more powerful, humans become more empowered, not disempowered or replaced.
We’re an early stage startup, backed by legendary investors like Brad Burnham and Matt McIlwain, visionary product leaders like Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky, philosopher-builders like Brendan McCord, and top AI safety funds like Juniper Ventures. Our investors were early at Anthropic, Palantir, Slack, Prime Intellect, DuckDuckGo, and Goodfire. Our advisors have held senior roles at Anthropic, Google DeepMind, and UK AISI.
Our co-founders have previously done ML research that was used to evaluate OpenAI models pre-deployment, lead product verticals at the world’s premier education-about-AI company, won political campaigns, and studied at Oxford & Cambridge.
Their essay series on AI’s economic impacts and the technology we’ll need to keep humans relevant, The Intelligence Curse, has been covered in TIME, The New York Times, and AI 2027.
