We build our products. We operate the company.

Volk Product Labs is an independent studio that designs, builds, and operates its own AI-native software — used by consumers at home, and by the businesses they work for.

↳ 01
Not an agency. We don't take client work, retainers, or contracts. Every product on this page is our own.
↳ 02
Two markets, one studio. We ship for end-users — whether that's an enthusiast at home or an admin running a 500-person stack.
↳ 03
AI as default. Every product starts with "what could a model do here that we couldn't before?"

§ 02 — Portfolio

Two products. Both ours. Built for the people who actually use them.

01 B2B · SaaS spend management

Laminar

SaaS sprawl is a drag on your bottom line.

Laminar's AI smooths the drag of unused licenses, orphaned accounts, and shadow subscriptions. Connect your stack, surface the waste, reclaim the spend — every month, automatically. Spend with confidence.

License reclamation Vendor audit Continuous monitoring
02 B2C · iOS · Wine companion

Somm AI

A pocket sommelier for the curious enthusiast.

Track your cellar, learn the story behind every bottle, and discover wines you'll love — guided by an AI that listens to your palate, remembers your taste, and never condescends.

Cellar tracking Tasting notes Discovery engine
§ 03 — Operating manual

We're a product company, not a services firm. We bet on our own ideas, on our own dime, and live with the consequences.

↳ 01 / Operators

We run what we make.

Every product is owned, supported, and shipped by us. No handoff to a client, no scope-of-work. The team that designs Laminar is the team that fixes the alert at 2 a.m.

↳ 02 / Range

Consumer & business, side by side.

One studio, two markets. The discipline of B2B keeps our consumer work serious; the craft of B2C keeps our business tools humane.

↳ 03 / AI native

Models do the work, quietly.

AI is infrastructure here, not a chat box. You see the outcome — a license reclaimed, a wine you'd never have found — not a prompt to write.

§ 04 — Founder

One operator. Direct line.
