Ora
A local-first voice assistant for macOS with on-device speech recognition, local model options, and native Mac actions.
Best for
People who want private voice workflows, local model choice, and a shorter path from speaking to action on Mac.
Futurelab Studio builds frontier software across local AI, macOS tools, research workflows, and agent-native infrastructure. From voice assistants and OCR to scientific-paper tooling and exact-release publishing.
Flagship Products
Ora and htmlctl are the most complete expressions of the studio: local intelligence on the Mac, and deliberate release control on the web.
A local-first voice assistant for macOS with on-device speech recognition, local model options, and native Mac actions.
Best for
People who want private voice workflows, local model choice, and a shorter path from speaking to action on Mac.
Agent-native website publishing: direct asset output, explicit release state, and exact artifact promotion without framework-heavy deployment ceremony.
Best for
Teams that want preview discipline, exact staging-to-prod promotion, and publishing infrastructure that stays legible to operators and agents.
Frontier Work
Public work on GitHub shows a broader pattern: local inference, OCR, scientific-paper tooling, voice utilities, and developer infrastructure that stays close to real workflows.
Research Tooling
Real-time paper access for LLM workflows across arXiv and OpenAlex.
OCR & Documents
Fast OCR experiments for image and PDF workflows on the Mac.
Voice Utilities
Native macOS voice and transcription utilities shaped around speed and everyday use.
Local LLM UX
A native SwiftUI interface for interacting with local language models on macOS.
Futurelab is not just a product landing page. It is an independent studio exploring where local AI, creative tooling, research workflows, and agent systems become genuinely useful software.
