Kuli

YCombinator

AI coworker for marketing teams at the largest consumer brands

Kuli is an AI coworker for marketing teams at the world's largest consumer brands. Our agent watches all videos across social media, learns the brand's context and helps them turn signals from billions of social videos into winning campaigns without increasing headcount. Previous platforms gave marketers databases to search through and a CRM. Kuli actually watches the content. Marketers at team like Disney, Nivea and PostHog use it to scout creators, run analysis on trends and competitor strategies, and analyse what makes their campaign perform better. For 10 years, influencer marketing meant more tools, more tabs, more spreadsheets. Kuli replaces all of that with one single agent you orchestrate. One marketer with Kuli does what a $50K/month agency bills for manual tasks.

AI FDEs to make your B2B SaaS Go Live in Days, not Months

Enterprise software implementation is broken, and it has been for decades. Every rollout, whether it's a traditional ERP or a new AI system, requires months of manual integration, configuration, and tuning done by armies of system integrators and forward-deployed engineers. Lab0 builds agentic systems that automate this layer, compressing months-long implementations into weeks.
