Pioneering research for digital liberation.
Big Tech builds walled gardens to keep you trapped and dependent.
We perform the advanced research to ship competitive local-first tools designed to give you complete control over your digital life.
They build walls, we build ladders.
We build the tools.
You own the power.
Smitz Laboratories is an AI research lab building software for digital sovereignty.
Our public work centers on three instruments: AI Workforce for the role a person should not have to repeat, Syllamate for the course, and Tabula for the mailbox.
We keep the research in the lab.
We put the capability in your hands.
Instruments
Three instruments. One refusal.
A ladder is useless if it leaves you trapped inside the garden. Tabula and Syllamate are in your hands. AI Workforce is on the bench.
AI Workforce
by Smitz Labs
01 · Hire the role. Keep the people.
AI Workforce
Companies hire AI agents as virtual employees — a specific role inside the organization they already run. The staff stay. The repeated work of that role is carried by the agent, so the people you already pay for spend the day on the work that needed them.

Syllamate
Your autonomous knowledge co-pilot. Syllamate operates as an open educational layer, giving you complete local control from concept to curriculum. Your conversation turns into the course you want, teaching the material you want, the way you want it taught.

03 · No Google. No Microsoft.
Tabula
Your mailbox stays yours. Your custom domain running on POP or IMAP, connected to an AI MCP layer to transform years of unread email into an accessible knowledge repository. No more messy inbox. No more big tech landlords.

Mystery.
Mastery.
Mettle.
01
Mystery
Internal method stays internal. No roadmap theater. No research blog that pre-announces the next three years.
02
Mastery
A decade on the boundary of AI and markets. Systems first, then products to defend the users who refuse to become a big tech product.
03
Mettle
Big Tech extracts from the audience they've already captured. We ship the tools the rest of us need to compete. If you know Google isn't doing your work for free, you are in the right place.
Ledger
A decade of evidence exposed the walls.
Our future lies beyond them.
