FOCUS: Automation · Agents · Generative video
METHOD: Build, ship, learn in public
SAMPLE SIZE: n = 1, scaling
An independent lab Founded by Himanshu Notebook 014

Quiet tools
for loud
ideas.

A workshop for automation pipelines, programmatic video, and agentic systems built for the people who refuse to wait for permission. Everything here is made by hand, tested in production, and shared as it ships.

Live experiments.

Service · Infra002

Managed n8n, per tenant, on your terms.

Self-hosted automation instances provisioned per client through CapRover and WHMCS — websocket-ready, SSE-streaming, no shared neighbours.

Agent benches.

Small, opinionated agents that draft, summarise, and stitch — each one wired to a workflow rather than a chat window.

Build with the lab.

Bring a workflow that should already exist. We'll prototype it in a week, ship it in a month, and write up what we learned for the next person.

A working philosophy
The interesting work right now isn't in the model — it's in the plumbing. Models are abundant; the rare thing is a clean pipeline that takes a vague brief and returns something finished. The lab exists to build that plumbing in public, document the seams, and hand the blueprints to whoever needs them next.

We work with Remotion when video should be code. We use n8n when a workflow shouldn't require a backend team. We self-host when latency, ownership, or cost matters. And we publish the gnarly bits — the prompts, the scripts, the wrong turns — because that's where the actual leverage lives.

§ 03 An open invitation

Got a workflow
that should exist?
Let's build it.

The lab takes on a small number of partner projects each quarter — usually something nobody else wants to wire together. If that sounds like yours, send a paragraph.
