Meet 108Labs: A First Look
A Blueprint for Specialized Intelligence
It began late one evening in our cozy shared workspace at WORQ, where our founders, Dr. Matt and Dr. Ivan, along with our core team, found themselves reflecting on the journey of Carbon GPT under the glow of a full moon.
We had set out to tackle one of the most pressing and nuanced challenges facing businesses today: meaningful ESG compliance. Rather than building another generic AI tool, we designed Carbon GPT to serve as a specialized intelligence system—one capable of interpreting the finer points of IFRS S2, identifying compliance gaps with precision, and transforming regulatory adherence into strategic advantage. Its success revealed a deeper insight: what we had created was more than a product. It was a blueprint. A blueprint for how AI ought to function—not as a shallow, one-size-fits-all assistant, but as a deeply knowledgeable partner attuned to the context, stakes, and nuances of specialized industries. That realization was the birth of 108Labs.
The Core Vision of 108Labs
108Labs is an AI lab founded on a single, powerful premise: the future belongs to specialized intelligence. We build tailored AI systems for sectors where precision isn’t optional—it’s essential. Carbon GPT, our flagship ESG platform, embodies this vision. It helps businesses navigate complex reporting frameworks like IFRS S2 and Bursa Malaysia’s requirements with audit-ready insights and actionable plans, not vague suggestions.
Applying Specialized Intelligence
Now, we’re extending that same focused approach to other domains. In finance, we’re developing AI for real-time risk modeling and algorithmic trust. In sustainability, Carbon GPT continues to lead with end-to-end intelligence that turns compliance into value. And in hospitality, we’re crafting AI designed to personalize guest experiences while optimizing operational efficiency and sustainability behind the scenes.
The Future of AI is Purpose-Built
The limitations of broad AI are becoming impossible to ignore. Generic tools might tell you what is happening, but they can’t reveal why—or what to do next. At 108Labs, we engineer context-aware systems that understand the language of your industry, deliver actionable guidance, and operate with ethical transparency built in from the ground up. Carbon GPT was our first proof point—a demonstration of what becomes possible when AI is crafted with purpose. 108Labs is the next step. We’re already collaborating with forward-thinking partners across finance, sustainability, and hospitality to quietly redefine what’s possible with AI.
This is not a launch—not yet. It is an invitation to imagine what becomes possible when AI is designed not to mimic humans, but to reimagine industries. The official unveiling of 108Labs is coming soon.
