About

True intelligence isn't built—it grows. We're pioneering autonomous systems that combine human intuition with machine perseverance. Our agents learn from every interaction, developing capabilities through experience rather than pre-programming. We believe whole-system test-time optimization is the key to achieving domain-specific superintelligence. We work in-person in Chicago, with a culture that values deep, focused technical work, continuous learning, and spirited discussion of ideas.
