We started this for our own team. Then everyone wanted in.
Conversa Labs was founded in 2023 by three engineers and a wildlife biologist who needed a better way to talk across time zones, vehicles, and satellite uplinks. We built the editorial-aware AI because generic chatbots couldn't catch up our producer in the morning without losing our voice.
What we believe
A few principles that show up in every release.
- Your voice is the product. Editorial guidelines should travel with the content, not live in a hidden system prompt.
- AI defers to your team. The summary that violates your guidelines is worse than no summary.
- Field-ready by default. If it works on satellite at 1.5 KB/s, it works in the boardroom.
- Open where it counts. Public read endpoint, documented schemas, no vendor lock-in for AI integrations.
