Turn Legacy into Leverage
We embed custom AI agents into logistics, construction, and industrial workflows, delivering measurable productivity gains in brownfield environments.

Costs keeps climbing.
Output stays flat.
You're margins are compressing faster than revenue grows. Your systems don't talk to each other. Manual work increasingly fills the gaps. Sound familiar?
Bodies don't scale
You add headcount to handle volume. Margins compress. Training takes months. The backlog never shrinks.
Manual work everywhere
Your ERP doesn't talk to your TMS. Data lives in spreadsheets. People copy-paste between systems all day.
Tribal knowledge risk
Critical processes live in people's heads. When they leave, that knowledge walks out the door. New hires take months to ramp.
From messy systems to measurable output
We ship AI that runs inside your existing operations. No slideware. No rip-and-replace. Just embedded agents that move KPIs.
We work with what you have
Your data lives in PDFs, legacy databases, spreadsheets, and email threads. We ingest messy formats and transform them into structured datasets your AI can actually use. No rip-and-replace required.
- Ingest paper, PDFs, SQL dumps, and fragmented logs
- Transform into clean, machine-readable datasets
- Connect to your existing systems without migration
We turn legacy into leverage
Companies across the Heartland already generate enormous value. But inside many operations lies a reservoir of potential trapped in legacy technology, disconnected data, and processes built for a different era.
We believe the future belongs to the companies that build, move, and insure the physical world. We help Heartland businesses amplify their people, embedding AI directly alongisde their existing operations. When operators get smarter tools, the entire industrial engine accelerates. This is how we reindustrialize amid a labor shortage.
We are operators and builders from the Heartland on a mission to revitalize the industrial base through productivity gains and innovation. The time is now.
We built Intrinsic Labs for this exact reason: to help you capture the gains that are already sitting inside your operations.
