Work / Labs

What we build when nobody's asked yet.

vertova Labs is where we try new techniques on our own time and money: AI agents, programmatic media, secure assistants, connected devices. What works here is what we bring to client projects, already proven.

01

An animated series, made entirely in code

A short-form comedy series about IT in the AI era. Characters, sets and a hand-drawn ink style are built in code, voices come from neural text-to-speech, and music, sound effects and mastering are generated programmatically. Seven episodes rendered in vertical format so far.

A secure AI assistant for Microsoft 365 email

Lets an AI assistant search, read and draft email safely: single-tenant sign-in with no client secret, encrypted tokens, no ability to move or delete mail, and every message must exist as a visible draft before it can be sent.
