00 / The shift
A new layer inside the business
Software is taking on
a larger role.
Stay in control.
Software now takes part in the work itself. It recommends, decides and sometimes acts. We need to know who sets the rules and who can stop it.

- 01
The shift
Software now shapes everyday decisions and operations. Where it sits matters as much as how well it performs.
- 02
The guardrails
Rules and responsibilities need to be clear. People must understand why the system acted and be able to correct or stop it.
- 03
Room to move
Speed should not lock the business in. The system must remain easy to audit, replace and change.
The long view / cryptographic agility
Post-quantum work starts with an inventory of where cryptography is used and a plan to update it. There is no need to guess a date.01 / Products
Software born from real work.
Our products start with a problem we have met firsthand. We build the first useful version, put it to work and keep improving it with users.
- For
- Dental practices, clinicians and front-desk teams
- Problem
- Missed calls, emails and day-to-day disruptions arrive through separate channels. Context gets lost before the team can decide what happens next.
- Outcome
- One system captures each signal, links it to the patient, proposes the next action and leaves the final decision with the practice.
- For
- E-commerce, studio and portrait teams
- Problem
- Colorways and cleanup create repetitive production work, while generic AI makes art direction hard to control.
- Outcome
- Produce consistent image variants faster while keeping the source, direction and final choice in human hands.
- For
- Professionals who write, meet and operate all day
- Problem
- Capturing notes and turning speech into useful text interrupts the work it is meant to support.
- Outcome
- Turn voice into structured text, tasks and notes while keeping sensitive work local-first.
- For
- Companies and climate-project operators
- Problem
- Climate contributions are difficult to monitor, reconcile and explain with a trustworthy record.
- Outcome
- Manage, track and report every contribution through one auditable system.
- For
- B2B sales and growth teams
- Problem
- Account research and useful personalization take time, while generic automation damages trust.
- Outcome
- Turn research into contextual outreach that a team can inspect and control.
- For
- Dental groups and multi-site practice operators
- Problem
- Stock, purchasing, incidents and compliance live across disconnected tools and local habits.
- Outcome
- Run every site from one operational view with shared processes and traceable actions.
- For
- Software teams operating with AI agents
- Problem
- Agents and humans lose context when work is split between chat, tickets and tools built for only one side.
- Outcome
- Coordinate both through one programmable source of truth.
- For
- Developers and autonomous software agents
- Problem
- Background work needs dependable notifications without another heavy platform or channel-specific integration.
- Outcome
- Send and query operational notifications through one small, programmable service.
- For
- UGA students, associations and campus teams
- Problem
- Events, initiatives and associations are scattered across channels that students do not consistently find.
- Outcome
- Give campus life one searchable, accessible place to be discovered.
- For
- People and designers looking for singular interior pieces
- Problem
- Made-to-measure textile work is hard to specify, visualize and source outside opaque bespoke processes.
- Outcome
- Turn a personal brief into a traceable, handmade piece from a French workshop.
- For
- People looking for a clearer scalp-care routine
- Problem
- Scalp concerns are often treated with fragmented products and little continuity.
- Outcome
- Make diagnosis, product choice and routine feel like one coherent care path.
- For
- Belote players and groups of friends
- Problem
- Online card rooms often add friction around a game that should feel immediate and social.
- Outcome
- Get a table running quickly and keep the experience focused on playing together.
- For
- Product teams embedding AI into complex, multi-tenant software
- Problem
- A generic copilot can read the docs. It cannot see the current screen, live business state or the access boundaries that decide whether an answer is right for this user.
- Outcome
- Combine hybrid retrieval, read-only live tools and deterministic access controls to return precise, source-backed answers within each user’s authorized scope.
02 / Studio
Building products.
Operating companies.
Ideas move when they reach real users. We frame the problem, ship a useful first version, see how it holds up and keep building from there. That loop is where speed comes from.
Frame
Understand the user, the decision and the limits.
Orchestrate
Define how data, rules, models and people work together.
Automate
Give repetitive work to software and surface the exceptions.
Stay sovereign
Retain the data, keys and freedom to change direction.

One product vision.
Proven in the field.
Ramzi Laieb founded FokaLabs after co-founding Carbonable. The studio still owns a stake in it. Each product turns a complex system into something clear, useful and practical to run.

06 / FAQ
The short
version.
FokaLabs creates and operates software products and the companies behind them across AI, healthcare, climate, developer tools and everyday life.
An agency starts from a client brief. A venture studio usually helps launch outside founders. FokaLabs starts from problems we know, builds quickly and remains involved after launch.
Most products start inside the lab. We sometimes build with a partner when the problem is clear and the work can become a real product.
Yes, but we take on few partnerships. We look for a clear problem, a committed operator and a useful role for FokaLabs. The contact form is the right place to start.
Yes. We open-source infrastructure when it can help beyond one product. notifyd is one example.
