> Check out our [[Working at Plastic|open positions here]].
Welcome to our collaborative second brain.
Here you'll find our blog, research, and public notes. You can also [engage with the ideas directly](https://github.com/plastic-labs/blog) on GitHub.
[Plastic](https://plasticlabs.ai) Plastic is an engineering-driven AI lab building at the intersection of machine learning and cognitive science.
Our focus is developing systems that map personal identity using AI-native memory & social cognition. These systems enable individually-aligned agents you can trust to act autonomously on your behalf & agents with rich identities all their own.
