A research lab studying the
ergonomics & instincts of agents.

Inevitable is a small lab building tools for a world where most knowledge work is delegated, not done. We design the surfaces, folders, and fictions that let humans live alongside many agents at once — without losing the thread.

The interface is the thesis.

────── ergonomics, n. the design of work that fits the worker ──────

We are arriving at a strange moment: capable agents, built on shared model substrate, doing increasingly indistinguishable work. The differentiator is no longer intelligence— it's the shape of the room the intelligence sits in.

Ergonomics is the right word for it. A chair is not smarter than a stool, but it changes what an eight-hour day feels like. We are interested in the chairs.

Our products begin from a few obvious-but-unobvious convictions: that capture is half the battle; that an agent without a folder is a tool without a workshop; that a partnership of humans and agents needs the same kind of evidence-handling rigor a courtroom does. Each one ships as a usable thing — not a demo.

Proactive

Agents that move first. Capture before being asked, surface before being queried, draft before the meeting starts.

Composable

Every agent should be a folder you can open, edit, and ship. Sessions are artifacts. Skills are markdown.

Simplicity

Intuitive by default; nothing over-engineered. If a feature requires a tutorial, it's not finished yet.

Three products, one question.

Otter

LiveNo-loginMulti-chain
Pay anyone, in any token. They get what they want — no wallet onboarding, no logins, no friction.
→

No-login crypto payment links. You pay in the token you hold; they receive in the token they want.

Otter turns a payment into a URL. Drop a link in a message, an invoice, or an email — the recipient opens it, picks how they want to be paid, and the swap and settlement happen behind the scenes.

No accounts. No KYC walls. No wallet juggling. The payer keeps custody until the moment of send; the recipient never has to learn what a bridge is.

  • SendGenerate a link in any supported token, any chain
  • ReceiveRecipient picks the token and chain they want
  • SwapRoutes through best-execution liquidity automatically
  • TrustNon-custodial; payer signs at send-time, no escrow

Shuttle

v0.4 — PublicmacOSOpen Source
Folders, but for agents. Organize MCPs, plugins, hooks, skills, and sessions — and ship them between agents in one motion.
→

Shuttle gives every agent on your Mac the same kind of surface a desktop gives your apps: a place, a context, a state.

An agent isn't just a model — it's a model plus its tools, plus its memory, plus the rules of the room. Shuttle treats that bundle as a first-class object: a folder you can open, edit, share, and shuttle between assistants.

Switch between a 'VC scout' loadout and a 'paper-reading' loadout in one click. Carry your skills from Claude to Cursor to Codex without re-wiring each time.

  • MCPMount any MCP server into any agent on demand
  • PluginsDrop-in tools, scoped per-folder
  • HooksPre/post-prompt scripts, redaction, audit
  • SkillsMarkdown-defined skills the agent can invoke
  • SessionsSnapshot, replay, share — sessions as artifacts

Consilium — agents for venture

Private AlphaVC · Scouting · DD
A team of investigative agents for scouting, research, and diligence — coordinated through a shared evidence graph.
→

A diligence team that never sleeps. Sourcing, market mapping, technical reading, reference checks — running in parallel, surfacing only what matters.

Most VC tooling is a CRM with a chatbot bolted on. Consilium starts the other way: agents are the work; the interface is the brief they file. Every output traces back to a citation graph; nothing is asserted without a source.

Trained on the rhythm of a partnership — not 'analyst' or 'associate,' but the moves: scout, triangulate, draft, debate, decide.

  • ScoutContinuous founder/repo/paper monitoring
  • ResearchMarket maps with explicit assumptions and unknowns
  • DiligenceTechnical, customer, and reference DD on demand
  • MemoFirst drafts in the firm's voice, with cited claims only
