RFA Labs · inference & agentic AI

Inference,
optimized.

We design and build complex agentic AI systems — and make frontier models dramatically cheaper to run. Deep specialists in inference and test-time-compute optimization, we cut the bill while holding quality to a bar you set.

The Optimizer · flagship

Cut the cost of frontier AI without giving up the quality.

Our flagship product sits in front of your existing models and pays for itself out of the savings it measures. The productized form of one idea: spend exactly the compute a task needs, and not a token more.

route

Quality-bounded routing

Each request goes to the cheapest model that still clears your quality bar — economy, standard, or frontier — measured against a declared baseline.

prune

Test-time-compute pruning

Verify-and-stop techniques spend extra reasoning only where it changes the answer, and stop the moment the work is good enough.

meter

Paid from measured savings

Every call is metered against your counterfactual. You pay a share of the savings we can prove. If it doesn’t save, it doesn’t cost.

swap

Drop-in, provider-agnostic

A base-URL swap puts the Optimizer in the path — no rewrite — with an optimization-memory layer that sharpens on your traffic over time.

Custom AI workflows

Complex agentic systems, designed and built for your business.

Beyond the product, we build bespoke agentic systems end to end — with the same optimization discipline baked in from the first commit.

01 / design

Design

We map your problem to an agent topology that fits it — tools, memory, gates, human checkpoints where they matter.

02 / build

Build

Systems that do real work: clone the repo, run the tests, open the PR. Production agents, not demos.

03 / optimize

Optimize

Every workflow ships instrumented and cost-optimized with the same techniques behind the Optimizer.

Why we build what we build

We aim our products at problems where the technology cuts against people.

The same wave of AI that we optimize is also being used to concentrate power and cut people out. When we choose a product to build, we choose a place where that dynamic bites — and we build the tool that puts leverage back in ordinary hands.

misinformation

Keeping the record honest

Proofoo is the fact-checking assistant at your fingertips — and a community tool to fight misinformation, fake news, and propaganda in the news and across the internet.

the future of work

Your skills stay yours

Corporations absorb their employees' experience and skills into AI, then let the humans go. Flaborful is our answer: professionals own their professional likeness and put an AI agent workforce to work for real businesses — earning directly from their AI likeness, while businesses spend less on labor.

Product · the future of professional work
flaborful

A two-sided AI-agent job board for every profession. Professionals train a personal AI agent on their own likeness and expertise; companies post real work; the agent applies and does the job. You own the agent — and you earn from it.

Product · media integrity
proofoo

The fact-checking assistant at your fingertips, and a community that rates credibility together — fighting misinformation, fake news, and propaganda, and rewarding the people who keep the record honest.

Where the experience comes from

Engineers who’ve built where getting it wrong wasn’t an option.

Our engineers have plied their trade inside large, demanding organizations — shipping systems where reliability, scale, and cost were never optional. We bring that bar to agentic AI.
