WHAT WE ARE

We understand both the machine and the institution.

Our work combines product development, archival research, machine learning, digital humanities, cloud infrastructure, scholarly governance, and institutional transformation.

WHAT WE ARE NOT

Not an AI agency that makes chatbots.

Not a museum website company. Not a catalogue raisonné database vendor. Not a nonprofit consultancy. Not a cloud migration shop. Those are capabilities. The company is the intelligence and infrastructure partner for AI-native cultural institutions.

FOUNDER

Nolan Feng · Founder, Product & Research.

Nolan works across cultural institutions, product development, and applied AI, with a focus on systems that expand access to rigorous cultural scholarship. He serves as Board Secretary of Tom of Finland Foundation, where the flagship research is conducted.

STRUCTURE

A company, working alongside the institutions it serves.

CultureOS Labs is a commercial company. Public-benefit research is conducted through legitimate institutional projects that keep data and scholarship with the institution. An independent research institute may follow only when the work warrants it.
