About Us

Imbue is a radically different AI company. We believe that data should belong to you, humans should come before technology, and everyone deserves to own a personal team of AI agents. We believe in a future of open agents that you can modify to do exactly what you want. 

We’re building a suite of tools to make tech serve humans, and making it open source.

Some first projects include:

  • Sculptor: An interface for programmers to run coding agents in parallel and stay in flow
  • mngr: A command-line tool for managing agents 
  • Vet: A standalone tool that catches AI coding mistakes and reviews full PRs 
  • Offload: A tool that automatically distributes your tests to run in isolated sandboxes 
  • Latchkey: A command-line tool to integrate local agents with third-party APIs 
  • Darwinian Evolver: A near-universal optimizer for code and agents

And we’re just getting started. If you’re excited about building a future with open agents, say hi! 

We're supported by investors like Nvidia, Simon Last (co-founder of Notion), and Eric Schmidt (former CEO of Google), with $200M raised at over $1B valuation.

What We Do

We build AI systems that can reason, in order to enable AI agents that can accomplish larger goals and safely work for us in the real world. To do this, we train foundation models optimized for reasoning. On top of our models, we prototype agents to accelerate our own work, seriously using them in order to shed light on how to improve the underlying model capabilities, as well as the interaction design for agents. We aim to rekindle the dream of the *personal* computer—for computers to be truly intelligent tools that empower us, giving us freedom, dignity, and agency to do the things we love.
