What we do Envision

Explore possibilities. We’ll replicate and build out virtual environments so that you can address your agency’s complex challenges.

Collaborate

Be part of an all-in team effort. Work shoulder-to-shoulder with our technology domain area experts to design system architectures, AI/ML models and end-user products.

Prototype and demonstrate

Go beyond conceptual. Physically or virtually test the environments, AI apps and IT-driven edge capabilities we create together. From there we’ll iterate until we arrive at the solution you need.

How we do it As a catalyst solving intricate technology challenges, oLabs is a vital resource for advancing US Federal Government technology. We do this by immersing ourselves in your agency’s technology landscape, collaborating alongside your experts and leaders to craft more secure, user-centric and scalable technology solutions. Whether your experts are conducting exercises in the field, making battlefield preparations at headquarters, or healthcare professionals looking to deploy AI to find illnesses earlier, at oLabs we rely upon in-context observations to build these solutions for real-world situations.
