Researching the future of how businesses think.

Native is a research-first AI lab building Small Language Models and living interfaces that learn directly from how teams talk, decide, and work.

From chat to cognition. From UX to intelligence.

Why Native Exists

We believe every business has a language. Not just words — but patterns, habits, instincts, workflows, and decisions.

Native exists to study that language at scale. To extract intelligence from everyday conversations. And to turn it into Small Language Models that think like your business.

Chat is the Dataset

Conversations are the richest source of real business behavior.

SLMs over LLMs

Smaller, sharper models trained on your reality — faster, cheaper, private.

UX is Intelligence

Interfaces should think, feel, and adapt with you.

How We Research

01

Observe Conversations

We study how real teams talk and work inside Native.

02

Extract Patterns

We model workflows, decisions, and habits from chat.

03

Train & Iterate

We build SLMs that learn continuously from that behavior.

Every message is data. Every decision is signal. Research happens in production.

Native isn't just a product.
It's a live research environment.

Every team using Native contributes to the collective understanding of how businesses think. We don't study behavior in isolation.

We learn from it — in real time. And we turn that learning into better models, better UX, and better intelligence.
