AI product studio

We build AI products for work that
can’t afford to be wrong.

IdeationLab is a privately-funded studio that designs, funds, and ships its own AI products. One is live today — sthayi.ai. Two are in private preview, inching toward go-live, and one is still in development.

See sthayi.ai What we’re building

One shipped. The rest labeled honestly — no vaporware.

What we build

A focused set of products — and an honest label on each.

A small studio ships better by shipping less. We publish what’s live, and we mark everything still in the lab. Here’s exactly where each product stands today.

    govbot.ai Flagship

    A living civic genome — it observes, records, and analyzes, so geography, policy, and programs are nodes in one graph that computes.

    Private, evidence-backed career exploration — a counselor conversation that helps families map college and career routes as AI reshapes the work ahead.

The edge

Founder-led, with a federal engineering pedigree.

IdeationLab is founded and led by Gopal Raja, who also founded Ideation, Inc. and its 26 years of federal mission delivery — the analysis tools programs depend on daily, and agentic AI running in production in a secure DHS environment. That discipline — building systems for work that has to be right — is what the studio is built on.

Human authority in the architecture: AI that proposes, people who decide.

Ideation Lab Corp. and Ideation, Inc. are separate companies. The only connection is the founder.
