intelligence.
With a dash of magic.
Tethered Unicorn Labs builds software that helps people turn questions into research and ideas into completed work. Unicorn Forge brings AI agents, tools, and project context together. Irideselle Search turns public-source research into organized, reviewable evidence. Our next step is hosted software that makes those capabilities easier to access.

01 / THE LAB
Technology should feel made for you—not handed down to you.
We believe the next generation of personal computing will be adaptive, model-flexible, and capable of meaningful action. Software should learn the individual or company it serves while preserving agency and showing its work.
Our focus is software as a service: useful applications delivered and operated by Tethered Unicorn Labs. Customers should be able to focus on their work while we manage the service, improve the product, and make its capabilities easier to use.

03 / SOFTWARE SUITE · RESEARCH
INTRODUCING
Irideselle Search
Start with what you know. Build a clearer picture.
A conversational workspace for open-source intelligence: research using publicly available information. Irideselle Search helps refine a question, gather sources, and organize findings into a case you can review.
- Natural-language queries and follow-up questions that sharpen the research
- Public-source search, page capture, and source review
- Organized case folders with reports and supporting evidence
Early testing · Findings are research leads for human review.
04 / OUR PRINCIPLES
Explain where processing happens, how information is used, and what users can control. Hosting is a delivery model; responsible handling of data is a product obligation.
An agent should verify what happened and admit what did not—not simply announce success.
Friendly interfaces, thoughtful interactions, and moments of delight can make difficult technology easier to understand and explore.
Powerful automation needs visible activity, scoped permissions, interruption, and recovery.
05 / COMPANY
Built for a more capable—and more human—future.
Tethered Unicorn Labs is an early-stage software company developing AI applications for individuals and organizations. Our focus is useful automation, conversational research, and hosted services that reduce the work required to get value from AI.
Unicorn Forge and Irideselle Search lead our software suite. We are developing a SaaS offering operated by Tethered Unicorn Labs, with subscription packaging and service capacity still to be validated. UniCrypt continues as a complementary hardware research project.
The Lantern Company gives our AI working styles clear identities for coordination, research, building, and review. Their biographies are fictional; the work they describe remains subject to the tools, sources, and human review actually available.
06 / INVESTORS & COLLABORATORS
Help shape the first customer workflows.
We are preparing a 90-day software pilot for January–April 2027, subject to readiness. We welcome prospective paid design partners, practical sponsors, and early investor conversations. The focus is a useful customer workflow, dependable delivery, repeat use, and measured operating costs. Preparation and software validation continue through the end of 2026.
