AI for deeper
human connection
We build emotionally intelligent AI tools that strengthen bonds, ease isolation, and preserve what matters.
Rooted in Empathy
We’re a technology studio exploring how AI can foster empathy, ease isolation, and make our relationships more meaningful. We’re not building AI for clicks, we’re building it for connection. We believe tech should bring people closer together, not push them further apart. At Hazel Labs, we build emotionally intelligent AI tools that serve real human needs.
Our First Product: My Friend Hazel
My Friend Hazel is an AI companion that connects with older adults by phone, with no apps or screens required. In our early testing, she’s already helping users feel heard, connected, and cared for.
Our Philosophy: Tech that Cares
We build AI that respects people’s time, privacy, and well-being. We don’t chase maximum engagement; we aim for meaningful impact. As Hazel Labs grows, we’ll stay guided by empathy, simplicity, and human dignity.
Built by Humans, for Humans
Hazel Labs is a small but mighty team of builders, caregivers, designers, and researchers. We’re united by a shared belief: technology should be deeply human and designed with care.
