Seedlabs

Recent research, turned into shippable ideas

Let's bridge the gap between research and industry. We discover latest research and derive commercially plausible innovation ideas through interactive artifacts.

A flood of research. A trickle of impact.

Millions of papers are published every year and the majority of those never actually reaches the people.

From paper to prototype

A fully automated pipeline, with a human in the loop where it matters.

01Scan the research

We continuously pull recent, highly-cited work from OpenAlex across the domains you care about.

02Generate the idea

Each finding is distilled into one concrete, commercially plausible product idea — grounded in real target customers.

03Build the prototype

An interactive prototype is generated, gated, and auto-deployed to its own URL so you can try the idea immediately.

Latest ideas

Concrete concepts derived from recent research — each with a live prototype.
