Manifesto

The world doesn't need more software pretending to be intelligent. It needs systems that are. 38 Labs brings scientific thinking and engineering rigor to a new frontier: building systems that don't just assist human intelligence, but turn it into action. Less spectacle. Less imitation. More capability.

Timeline

Three years, one log.

2024

Born in Europe

38 Labs began with a consultant's frustration with an industry selling conventional software as superintelligence. The ambition was to build something fundamentally different.

2024

First commercial traction

Early customer relationships brought the vision into the world of life sciences, where complex problems demand more than superficial AI.

2025

Across the Atlantic

38 Labs expanded its presence to the United States, positioning itself closer to the companies and technologies shaping the next generation of AI.

2026

Building for complex industries

The company expanded its work across life sciences and other demanding, highly regulated environments.

Values

Three rules we still follow.

01
RIGOR

Build for reality

A successful demo proves possibility. A production system proves engineering. We design, validate, and deploy AI against real workflows, real data, and real-world constraints.

02
SCIENCE

Evidence over hype

We question assumptions, test what works, and measure what matters. We choose the right approach for the problem—not the trendiest model or the most impressive demo.

03
IMPACT

Capability over activity

The goal isn't more AI, more code, or more experiments. It's better outcomes: complex work made simpler, decisions better informed, and systems that deliver value in production.
