Better decisions
Clearer evidence, sharper tradeoffs, and confidence when the stakes are high.
Liquid Animals
We build AI ideas that raise human performance in real work.
We build, own, and operate ideas that put AI where it compounds capability, not novelty.
AI Ignites Innovation when it compounds capability in the work people already do. We build, own, and operate those ideas.
Story
Point of view
Human performance is more than speed.
Efficiency matters. So do judgment, problem solving, and creativity. We build AI that strengthens that full range, not only how fast work gets done.
Stronger problem solving
Find the real constraint faster. Test options. Move from ambiguity to a workable path.
Room for creativity
Free attention from rote work so people invent, connect ideas, and make something new.
How we operate
We build from the inside. We do not invest from the outside.
Liquid Animals is not a venture capital firm, not an accelerator, and not a group of angel investors. We do not fund external pitches. We develop our own ideas that we own and operate. That model is not better or worse than traditional VC. It is different. Different incentives, different risk, different rhythm of work.
Not VC, accelerators, or angels
Those models evaluate and fund outside founders. We do not run a fund, take applications, or write checks into outside concepts.
Internal ideas only
Every idea starts as work we originate. We design the product, staff the team, ship the software, and stay accountable as the parent.
Different, not superior
Traditional VC scales many bets across founders. We go deep on fewer builds we control. Same ambition to create durable ideas. A different way of getting there.
What we build
Ideas we own and operate
Plenty of products already sit in these categories. We still build our own when we need something different, whether that is privacy, how AI is managed, or development priorities that off-the-shelf tools will not bend to. Several ideas ship as open source you can extend and embed, with managed cloud when you want hosted access.
Your company brain
A private company brain that extracts intelligence from the documents, chats, and files your team already has. Connect Slack, Google Drive, Gmail, Microsoft 365, and more. Ask a question, get a cited answer, and let agents take the next step.
Inquisitive Fox
Coming soonLong-term memory for AI
Long-term memory for AI applications and agents. Pluggable and provider-agnostic, so you can extend the open source system, drop it into your own projects, or run the managed cloud. Adapters let you swap backends and third-party systems without rewriting the product.
Copernicus
Coming soonSmart prompt retrieval
Retrieve the right prompt for the job across models and other attributes. Version prompts, run evaluations, and assemble what your applications and agents need at runtime. Open source with adapters for backends and third-party systems, plus a managed cloud when you want hosted access.
Zebra Pudding
Coming soonLearning and development with courses and coaching
A learning and development system that puts virtual courses and coaching in one place. We did not bolt AI onto a generic LMS. We needed different choices around privacy, how AI shows up in learning workflows, and product priorities that off-the-shelf stacks would not bend to. Available as open source and as managed cloud.
Sylvester's Hat
Coming soonSmart LLM routing
Route each request to the right model based on attributes like latency, cost, context size, intelligence, and mode (text, images, video, audio). Query categorization helps pick the path before a model is chosen. Open source with adapters so you can swap backends and providers, plus managed cloud for hosted access.
The menagerie
Many minds, one parent
Liquid Animals is a family of ideas we build and operate. The art is a reminder that curiosity and temperament belong in the same room as the engineering.
