Compound Labs is an independent product R&D lab founded by Isaiah Kim.

We research underserved problems, turn promising ideas into working software, and publish what the work reveals. Projects are developed end to end—from opportunity research and product strategy through design, engineering, applied AI, evaluation, billing, automation, launch, distribution, and ongoing operations.

The lab’s work spans applied-AI products, developer tools, workflow automation, data systems, compliance software, and experimental consumer products. Each product operates as its own standalone brand, while Compound Labs provides the shared research, engineering, evaluation, and operational infrastructure behind the catalog.

Compound Labs is not an agency, consultancy, or client-services business. It exists to build, test, and operate original software products.
