An independent AI lab · Est. 2026 · New Mexico, USA
We build advanced AI into software that is genuinely useful.
- What Harumind is
Harumind is a small, independent lab making next-generation applications. We work at the seam between frontier AI and the ordinary tasks people actually do - expenses, coordination, decisions - and we ship products that hold up after the novelty wears off.
§ Principles
How we work.
- 01
Practical over performative.
We are not chasing benchmarks or demos. We ship software that earns its place in someone's daily workflow and keeps doing the job a year later.
- 02
Models are an ingredient, not the meal.
Foundation models are powerful but they are not products. We design careful interfaces around them: clear inputs, legible outputs, and recoverable failure modes.
- 03
Small lab, long horizon.
We are independent and self-funded by design. That lets us pick problems on a multi-year horizon and resist the pull of premature scale.
§ Products
What we ship.
One product live today. More in the lab.
- 01 2026HippoSplit ↗ Live
AI-assisted expense splitting for groups, trips, households, and events. Turns receipts and messy real-world spending into clear, fair splits without the manual cleanup.
- 02 Soon
In the lab.
The next thing isn't ready to talk about yet. When it is, it'll show up here.
§ Lab
The shop.
Posture
Independent. Self-funded. Small enough to pick problems carefully and stay with them.
Practice
Frontier models, applied research, rigorous evaluation, and a product engineering bar that treats reliability as a feature.
Domains
Personal finance, group coordination, and the long tail of everyday work that AI can quietly improve.
Place
Harumind is the lab; Haru LLC is the company behind it, registered in New Mexico, USA. Working asynchronously across time zones.
