Karan Prasad

Founder & CEO

Obvix Labs

I'm the founder of Obvix Labs - an AI research lab that builds products for real problems and publishes what we learn. My background is in ML, backend engineering, and security research.

I founded Obvix Labs in 2025. We research what breaks when AI meets reality - sycophancy, hallucination, governance gaps - and we build the fix. Our products include Amy (an anti-sycophancy AI companion), Obvix Proxy (a real-time safety layer for LLMs), and Obvix Lake (a grounded customer intelligence platform). We publish our methods and findings openly.

If you're a founder, investor, or engineer working on AI safety, automation, or system design - let's connect.
