The Unlikely Beginning of an
AI Company
From the Mats to Machine Learning
We didn’t meet in a boardroom or at a tech conference. We met on the mats of a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school, where testing isn’t just encouraged–it’s embedded into everything you do.
In Jiu-Jitsu, the day you learn a new technique is the day someone tries their hardest to stop you from doing it. It’s called pressure testing, and it’s what makes the art effective. You can’t fake your way through. You either know it works, or you learn it doesn’t.

Why We Started Magister Labs
We kept seeing the same pattern: Companies invest millions in AI, only for their smartest people to avoid using them. Why? Because when you can’t explain how a decision was made, people stop trusting the system. People don’t resist AI because it’s artificial; they resist it because it’s opaque. Remove the opacity, and you remove the resistance.

Our Mission
Transparent AI That People Actually Use
We’re not building AI to replace developers–we’re building AI to make them better. Our platform shows it works, explains its decisions, and proves its value. Because trust isn’t a nice-to-have feature. It’s everything.
“Just like in Jiu-Jitsu, we believe the best way to build confidence is through pressure testing. Every AI interaction gets tested. Every decision gets explained. Every result gets measured.”
