Advancing the Science of Intelligent Operations
Applied research where cutting-edge AI meets real-world operational challenges. We advance the field through rigorous research while ensuring every breakthrough reaches production and delivers business value.
Research That Ships
Too much AI research lives in papers and never reaches production. Too much enterprise AI deployment ignores cutting-edge research and builds on outdated paradigms.
At Metis Labs, we reject this false choice. We advance the field of agentic systems, orchestration frameworks, and intelligent operations while ensuring every breakthrough makes it into client solutions.
Innovation Themes
Our research focuses on areas that transform how organizations work - not just academic exercises, but applied research with real-world impact.
Agentic Infrastructure
Building foundational technologies for autonomous AI agents - multi-agent coordination, memory systems, and agent-to-agent communication protocols.
Digital Operators Research
Designing AI systems that function as autonomous teammates - role-specific specialization, human-AI collaboration patterns, and adaptive learning from operations.
Operational Intelligence
Making organizations smarter through integrated intelligence layers - cross-system integration, real-time operational analytics, and intelligent process optimization.
Open Innovation
We believe the future of intelligent operations benefits from shared innovation. While our Digital Operators and client solutions remain proprietary, we actively contribute to the foundational technologies that enable this ecosystem.
