XLabs

a moonshot factory for AI

We are building moonshot companies for the future powered by
artificial intelligence, quantum computing & neurotech.

A Bell Labs for AI

xLabs is a commercial moonshot factory for breakthrough technologists and the innovations we create. A third space that bridges the gap between the quarterly earnings paradigm of corporations, and the research paradigm of universities, xLabs is an innovation agency that reimagines the future via AI, unconventional computing and neurotech.

Our model is simple: we incentivise the world’s most ambitious edge-thinkers to apply their skills, expertise and intelligence to your venture, while providing them with access to the professional support and collaborative intelligence necessary to successfully commercialise their projects.

We believe that the smartest person in the room, is the room. Yet no matter how large your company, or how accomplished your team, sometimes you need a smarter room.

When you do, call xLabs.

How we Work

1. Discover – a strategic immersion to uncover challenges, opportunities and potential solutions.

2. Analyse – interrogate the data, audit the resources, and refine the possibilities necessary to proceed.

3. Architect – schematically map the proposed solution, define inputs and outputs, and map user flows.

4. Prototype – establish infrastructure, draft algorithms, and develop a functional prototype.

5. Build – operationalise the solution with hardened infrastructure and an accessible user-interface.

6. Test – deploy protocols for ongoing testing, analysis and refinement of the solution.

XLabs Covid-19 Response

XLabs has now launched a massive effort to combat COVID-19 in two phases using our advanced AI. Project Life details our first phase. It includes 3 AI-enabled strategies that can do drastically better than the current social distancing. All 3 will help save more lives and the economy. Project Solution is the second phase. These projects focus on accelerating vaccine and antiviral discovery for the Sars-Cov2 virus. Reach out to us today so we can help accelerate your Covid-19 effort with AI.

Covid-19 Special Projects

Covid-19: Project Solution
What if AI can speed the development of novel vaccines and antivirals for this pandemic and the next?
Covid-19: Project Solution
What if AI can speed the development of novel vaccines and antivirals for this pandemic and the next? XLabs' AI for Project Ribo (see below) was able to decrease the time to target discovery from months to hours, with particular success in RNA based targets. The same AI might perform as well or better on the RNA based virus of Covid-19.

Covid-19: Project Life
What if there was a technology enabled strategy that saved as many lives as shelter-in-place, but allowed our economy to restart?
Covid-19: Project Life
The currently response to Covid-19 is slowly working, but at great cost to the economy as a whole and to the lives of millions of individuals suddenly without income. What if there was a technology enabled strategy that saved as many lives as shelter-in-place, but allowed our economy to restart? We propose 3 solutions that could make this possible in a matter of weeks. Please share these downloadable resources. We are here to help.

      Project Ribo
      What if medical interventions could edit the executable code of the human cell?
      Project Ribo
      What if medical interventions could edit the executable code of the human cell? Project Ribo, is an AI that understands and targets specific disease markers of cancer. Using XCore v1.0 and sequenced RNA cancer data, Ribo self-discovered the genetic markers corresponding to seven different cancers, without any prior knowledge of biology. Ribo also successfully classified cancers with a 99.5% accuracy, outperforming a recent Nature Paper.

      Project Morpheus
      What if you could exit the matrix & spend more time in your real life?
      Project Morpheus
      What if you spent more time in your real life? The human animal has been hacked to extract the resource of our attention. Morpheus is an AI companion that helps you reclaim your most precious resource. Based on the work of Karl Friston, Morpheus is an AI that teaches one to recognize the matrix and redirect their energies into real life by intervention in the moment.

      Project Pauli
      What if our AI for drug discovery knew the Quantum Mechanics that governs molecular interactions?
      Project Pauli
      What if we could teach AI Quantum Mechanics? Today’s drug discovery methods developed from chemists’ paper calculations, still treating molecules as 2D and failing to account for quantum properties. Project Pauli uses AI and quantum to add the 3rd dimension and key quantum properties to the search for new drugs.

      Project Spren
      What if you had an AI that was yours and only yours, whose sole purpose was to help you grow? Project Spren is a gift for a newborn. An AI that grows with them, Spren begins life as a digital pet, blossoms through trail into a friend, and becomes a life coach.
