What We Build

Custom AI. Built
for real production.

Four categories. One principle: systems that work in the real world, not just demos.

AGENTSAUTOMATION

Enterprise AI Agents

Custom autonomous agents for real workflows. Production systems that handle research, qualification, enrichment, outreach, and operations at scale.

AI PRODUCTBUILD

AI-Native Products

End-to-end product design and build. AI baked in from day one — not retrofitted. From architecture to shipped MVP.

GROWTHGTM

AI-First Growth Systems

Signal-triggered outbound. Autonomous lead scoring. Revenue that scales without proportionally growing your team.

STRATEGYENTERPRISE

B2B Solutions

Strategic AI transformation for teams and enterprises. Audit, architect, implement across product, marketing, and ops.

02 — Career Intelligence

Your next move, globally.

Senior professionals navigating global markets need more than a CV rewrite. They need a strategic partner who has done it — across Microsoft, Canon EMEA, UK, Korea, and Asia.

AI-optimised CV and LinkedIn positioning
Korea market entry — E-7 visa strategy and employer targeting
Executive positioning and personal brand architecture

Monthly live build sessions
Startup and culture evenings
Career intelligence roundtables
Annual immersion programme

The Global Startup House is the container. Cultural exchange — including Korean and Asian programmes — sits within it, alongside AI, career development, and cross-border startup collaboration. The house is open to anyone building internationally.

Who We Build For

Three markets.
One methodology.

B2B STARTUPS

B2B Startups

You're building fast and need AI systems that work in production. We architect and ship the growth infrastructure founders wish they'd built from day one.

Signal-triggered outbound
AI-native CRM automation
Autonomous acquisition loops
🛍️
B2C E-COMMERCE

B2C E-Commerce

Revenue depends on conversion, retention, and personalisation at scale. We build AI that makes every customer interaction smarter.

AI personalisation engines
Retention and win-back flows
Intelligent pricing agents
🏢
ENTERPRISE

Enterprise

Your teams are piloting AI but not yet AI-native. We move you from scattered experiments to production systems with measurable ROI — fast.

Team upskilling & AI champions
How We Work

How the
Lab works.

Every engagement follows the same disciplined process. No discovery decks that go nowhere. No handoffs. Grace is in every build.

WEEK 1

Diagnose

We map your highest-value AI opportunities. No strategy decks — a working hypothesis ready to test within a week.

WEEK 2

Architect

We design the system before writing a line of code. Data flows, agent logic, integration points, and success metrics defined upfront.

WEEKS 3–5

Build

Live build sessions with your team. You see the system taking shape in real time — not a black box handed over at the end.

WEEK 6

Launch

We ship to production, not staging. Every system goes live with monitoring, fallbacks, and a clear handoff protocol.

ONGOING

Scale

Post-launch iteration. We measure what's working, cut what isn't, and compound the systems that are driving results.

Practitioners who
know the difference.

What clients and collaborators say after working with the lab.

Grace provided nuanced approaches to creating value for target customers. If you have a product idea and are looking for feedback on AI-enabled products, I highly recommend speaking to her.

Grace is an inspiring leader with a real gift for making complex ideas feel clear. Her guidance is incredibly valuable for anyone deepening their understanding of AI strategy or leadership.
