An independent research and development studio focused on practical AI.
Fox River AI Lab exists to bridge the gap between AI's theoretical potential and its practical impact on people's lives. We believe the most meaningful advances in artificial intelligence aren't measured in benchmark scores or parameter counts—they're measured in problems solved and lives improved.
We're an independent lab, which means we choose projects based on their potential for genuine impact, not their alignment with funding cycles or industry trends. This independence allows us to take the time to do things right, to prioritize sustainability over speed, and to focus on outcomes over optics.
Every project at Fox River AI Lab follows a consistent methodology rooted in first principles thinking:
01
Before writing a single line of code, we immerse ourselves in the domain. We talk to the people who will use our systems, observe their workflows, and identify the real friction points—not the assumed ones.
02
AI systems don't exist in a vacuum. They're used by people with varying technical backgrounds, different contexts, and real constraints. We design interfaces and interactions that meet users where they are.
03
We favor proven architectures over bleeding-edge experiments. Our systems are built to be maintained, extended, and improved over time—not replaced every six months when the next framework arrives.
04
We ship early and often, but every iteration is driven by observed user behavior and measured outcomes. We don't add features for their own sake—we refine what matters.
This domain serves as Fox River AI Lab's digital playground—a live environment where we test ideas, prototype solutions, and demonstrate capabilities. Think of it as our public workshop.
Some projects hosted here are polished applications ready for real-world use. Others are experiments that might never leave the prototype stage. All of them represent our ongoing exploration of what's possible when AI is built with intention and care.
The name "buried" reflects our belief that valuable signals are often hidden beneath noise—in data, in processes, in the daily friction that people have learned to accept. Our job is to unearth those signals and build systems that act on them.
The best AI system is often the simplest one that works. Complexity should be added reluctantly, not celebrated.
Users should understand what AI systems are doing and why. Black boxes erode confidence over time.
Not the other way around. If a system requires users to change their behavior to accommodate its limitations, we've failed.
Shipping working solutions teaches us more than planning ideal ones. We learn by doing.
We're always interested in challenging problems and meaningful collaborations.
