RUNTIME LABS

About

Runtime Labs develops time-indexed systems for memory, planning, and event suggestions.

Óra is a personal timeline that structures events, notes, photos, locations, links, and model interactions as persistent context. This event-centered architecture helps models maintain continuity across longer horizons, reason about past and future activity, and translate natural-language intent into grounded plans and actions.

Our thesis is that time and event structure are foundational primitives for reliable memory, planning, and discovering relevant activities in the world around you.

Research

We build systems so models can reason in time, keep persistent context, and work from structured representations of events — temporal indexing, memory persistence, and context retrieval for coherent planning across an evolving timeline.

Product

Óra is a planning environment where models operate on persistent, time-structured state — timestamped events anchored in time and location, with photos and links as context. You plan with natural language and images; models interpret intent, propose events for approval, and keep the timeline continuous across past activity and forward plans.

Agency

Agency emerges from the strength of our predictive models and our ability to translate our predictions into actions that define the future distribution of decisions available.

We design environments for human-agent collaboration as an approach to aligning systems with our objectives and strengthening agency in coordinating intent into actions.

Values

  • We set clear objectives and build for the long-term, avoiding short-term optimization and cycles.
  • We pursue truth rigorously and treat others with respect.
  • We allocate time, capital, and compute deliberately.
  • We exercise discipline and patience in our design and vision, while maintaining urgency in daily execution.
  • We develop tools that empower human agency.
  • We adapt quickly when diminishing returns in research or product become evident.
  • We maintain a respectful environment where critical feedback is treated as essential input to invention and growth.
