About DPIIT Recognised · Sept 2025

An AI product company
that also teaches.

EpicureAI Labs builds agentic AI products for domains where a wrong answer carries real cost. We ship into clinical nutrition and workforce intelligence — and we run a thirteen-week engineering intensive on the same codebases and constraints.

What we build

Two products, both in regulated territory.

Clinical nutrition · Consumer

AVOLA

India develops metabolic disease decades before healthcare intervenes, and the dietary pattern driving it belongs to the household rather than the patient. AVOLA treats the family as the unit of care: six specialised agents resolve six conditions into one clinically-safe menu, with a deterministic safety layer between every recommendation and the family. It executes a diagnosis; it never diagnoses or prescribes.

Workforce intelligence · B2B SaaS

Forsight

Companies are deploying AI faster than their people can absorb it, then cutting experienced staff to fund the spend. Forsight runs a seven-agent pipeline over an organisation's HRMS data to produce a verified AI readiness score for every employee — measured against what their own manager expects — and a ninety-day growth plan tied to tools already deployed. Sold white-label through HRMS, L&D and staffing partners.

AI Engineering Intensive · Cohort 2026

We train engineers inside the products.

A training company cannot manufacture ten in-production AI products. A product company will not open ten codebases to learners. The AI Engineering Intensive exists because EpicureAI is both — a thirteen-week, fully live programme where every concept is taught across ten live products, and the capstone problem is handed to you by a senior industry leader rather than invented for a syllabus.

Reverse pitches, industry leaders

Every concept, taught ten ways

One technique seen across ten live products — where the retrieval strategy changes, where the cost of a wrong answer changes, and where the right trade-off flips entirely.

Industry hands you the problem

In the week-three reverse pitch, senior leaders present real unsolved problems from their own organisations. Teams interrogate the brief and choose one to carry as their capstone.

Built inside a real product company

You train on the architecture, constraints and trade-offs of products EpicureAI is actually shipping, guided by the team that builds them, on the stack the industry uses.
