Building digital humans
Fundamental Research Labs is on a mission to build digital human beings — autonomous, collaborative, and socially intelligent agents.
Our team of researchers, computational neuroscientists, and builders from MIT EECS, Stanford NLP Group, Google X, and Citadel are pioneering the next frontier of human-AI collaboration.
We believe the fastest path to universal, agentic collaborators is through deeply capable systems in key real-world domains.
Shortcut is our first step toward building digital human beings. It applies our research in agentic reasoning and multi-agent systems to spreadsheet intelligence, functioning as an AI-powered Excel analyst that turns raw data into accurate models, answers complex spreadsheet questions, and runs parallel simulations with full traceability.
Latest discoveries and announcements from our team.
Join our small, well-funded team backed by top investors like Andreessen Horowitz and Prosus. We move fast, ship meaningful work, and value true ownership over bureaucracy.
