Traffic is a bit heavy in the Z-axis today.

honored that @tastelabs made @TechCrunch’s Disruptors 60 list when we started, lots of people asked if this problem was even solvable. could something subjective be measured? improved? turns out it can! there’s still so much work (& research) ahead to make AI feel right. thank you to our customers for trusting us to be a part of making frontier models better at design. and the better these models get, the more agent layer will explode. those agents need the right tools, and we’re building them too. we want AI to be a tool for human creativity, not slop. if you’re as passionate about this as we are, join us! we’re hiring (a lot)! thank you @GreenfieldVC + TC!

We’re excited to introduce Taste Labs. Our mission is to end AI slop. We’re building the data and infrastructure layer to give AI models and agents taste. And today we’re coming out of stealth, announcing our $18.5M seed funding, co-led by @CRV and @AmplifyPartners AI has nailed objective domains and made it easy to generate anything. But it still feels off. Now, the challenge is judgement. What fits, what feels like you, what’s GREAT. This requires turning a fuzzy, subjective domain into something we can measure and codify. We’re starting with design. There are two sides to cracking this, the foundation model layer and the agent layer: - We’ve already been working with the top frontier labs to evaluate and improve their models, crafting the right post-training data and RL environments. - We’ve also been working with app-layer companies to build the context and verification tools for their agents to produce better, more on-brand, more creative outputs. We want a future where AI feels right. If you’re passionate about this mission, join us!
