HI, WELCOME TO ATMAN labs.
We're a London-based team building software to emulate human expertise.
We sit at the intersection of applied AI R&D, design, and industrial needs to launch products that amplify and scale human expertise across valuable commercial domains.
our purpose
We are building AI to guide our exploration of the universe
Humans are born explorers, and our purpose is to evolve the individual experience (Atman) through exploration of the universe (Brahman).
Building AI that can explore knowledge and discover new solutions towards a goal is the path to realize this – and reach true superintelligence. Today’s AI is insufficient.
Exploration requires solving open-world problems, where solutions aren’t predetermined, but discovered. To build AI that is more than just a pattern matcher, but a proactive partner of human exploration, we are focused on emulating human experts, who combine structured knowledge with goal-oriented strategies to solve any problem in front of them.
On top of our breakthroughs in expert reasoning, we are designing and launching products that can act as long-term human counterparts to evolve our lives and solve the most important problems in humanity - amplifying commerce, democratizing education, or advancing science.
Welcome to Atman Labs.
our research
True superintelligence can form a goal, explore knowledge, and discover new solutions
We’ve pushed pattern recognition to the limits. Today, models like LLMs simply regurgitate patterns from data and struggle to solve open-world problems.
Instead we are inspired by a forgotten discipline from the 1960s, Expert Systems, which predates neural networks. The goal was to mimic how human experts reason: structuring knowledge, defining goals, and exploring potential solutions. To reinvent expert systems today, we integrate fast pattern-matching models with slow structured reasoning systems, to create two co-evolving capabilities:

FORMING WORLD MODELS
EXPLORING WORLD MODELS
Our framework of structuring and exploring knowledge represents a path to superintelligence that, much like humans, is efficient, creative, and generalizes well to unseen situations. Moreover, as the world model expands or changes, the strategies adapt too, making our approach extendable to any domain and open-ended problem. Eventually, our systems will demonstrate the capability to generate Move 37s across a number of domains – teaching, healthcare, science, personal shopping – to expand our collective knowledge towards solving humanity’s toughest problems.

our PRODUCTS
We design and ship products that proactively help humans explore and discover new knowledge
What do shopping, teaching, and science have in common? They are supported by human experts who help us construct an individual journey through a vast sea of knowledge to solve a problem.
By immersing ourselves in a domain and deeply studying how these experts interact with users and the world - how they reason, the questions they ask, the facts they know - we form precise problem statements and design superhuman experiences that can democratize access to their expertise at the scale of all human knowledge.
These are the first products that we are launching:
our team
We have the ambition to usher the world towards coexisting alongside benevolent, generally-intelligent AI counterparts, by deploying superhuman experts across industries.
Not only do we believe that our work is a credible approach to functionally emulate human intelligence and amplify the human experience, but we believe that this mission can also allow us to conceive many commercial products that yield billions of dollars of commercial revenues to support an ambitious R&D effort for years to come.
We are building for a future where humans coexist alongside benevolent AGI and we will be at the forefront of executing on this vision. We are looking for ambitious and independent thinkers who have a deep desire to contribute and want to be part of the team that makes this a reality for humanity. Below are open opportunities to join us in this mission.
You will join an incredibly focused, interdisciplinary, and conscious team that spans years of founding and research experience in Applied AI and moonshot companies. We are proudly based out of London but come from all over the world. We are supported and supercharged by investors around the globe who have previously backed some of the most foundational and daring companies, especially in commercial marketplaces, where we are first deploying our platform.
We are ready to meet you. Help us build new categories of industry-shifting products and ultimately carve the path to benevolent general intelligence.
