Overview

Labs Companies, Inc. is a Santa Monica–headquartered superintelligence human-enhancement technology company formed in 2025 through a restructuring of LavLabs Inc. Its flagship consumer product is Yuhmmy App 2.0, described as the world's first Social-Taste Super App and powered by YuhmmyAI (Social-Taste AI Models, STAMs, and Social-Taste Agents, STAGs) alongside Yuhmmy AR/VR. The company organizes R&D across seven core labs—Labs Intelligence, Labs Realities, Labs Blocks, Labs Crypto, LabsX, LavLabs, and Factory5227—spanning superintelligence, immersive realities, blockchain/crypto, experimental sciences, consumer experiences, and wearables. Labs plans a fall launch of Yuhmmy App 2.0 with initial access for USC and UCLA students, time-limited mealtime availability, and a staged expansion to students nationwide, brands, creators, media, and investors via a waitlist. Yuhmmy includes features such as Taste Reactions, Tasterooms, Tastechat, Cravecash, Taste Drops, and TNPL (Taste Now, Pay Later) and is positioned to create a Commercial-Taste Industry and a global Tasteconomy. The announced funding will drive development across the seven labs and support the Yuhmmy App 2.0 launch and further integration of AI, AR/VR, hardware, and digital-economy infrastructure.
