Compound Labs is an independent product research and development lab founded and run by Isaiah Kim. It researches, prototypes, ships, measures, and documents software experiments, with work spanning AI, operations, compliance, consumer products, and software tools. Its portfolio includes practical products such as document extraction and reconciliation services, compliance resources, security scanners, job-application assistance, and tools for managing customer communications. The lab also explores agentic software, including tools that run agents with approval controls and activity receipts, and open-source agents for scheduled social posting.

Beyond building products, Compound Labs publishes research and reference material. Its offerings include open datasets of public software measurements, independent assessments and tracking of AI tools, searchable directories, and reporting on software releases, vulnerabilities, outages, and breaking news. The site also features writing, filmed essays, documentary projects, and other searchable publications. Through this varied portfolio, Compound Labs presents software experiments as working products and documented projects, giving visitors access to both practical tools and observations about the technologies and systems they address.
