Lingo Labs

Lingo Labs is an AI research lab focused on uncovering the unspoken, tacit knowledge beyond LLMs’ reach — where novelty lives. Rooted in Polanyi’s insight that “we know more than we can tell,” we specialize in surfacing hidden expertise and insights that current LLMs can’t access. While LLMs are trained on what is already known, some of the most valuable knowledge in organizations isn’t documented — it’s tacit, implicit, felt, and intuited. By extracting and feeding this deep expertise into AI systems, we help give your AI a competitive edge — making it truly yours. Drawing on award-winning research in human-AI collaboration, we combine experience in AI R&D and qualitative social research to challenge the limitations of current LLMs and capture the subtle, unarticulated knowledge that fuels true insights. Our approach embraces a human-centric, ‘doing things that don’t scale’ mindset to carefully elicit tacit knowledge, then leverages AI to amplify discovery.
