Claigrid

The Autonomous Work Infrastructure 

We make students, graduates and solo creators beneficiaries of autonomous economic activity.
 
Claigrid is an applied research lab based out of London (UK) and Menlo Park, California, exploring how autonomous computational systems can operate under explicit human identity and authority.

The lab develops and studies Clai, an identity-bound execution system designed to act under narrowly defined permissions, adopting an individual’s domain knowledge, communicative style, and constraints to produce context-specific work.

Clai is not a conversational assistant and does not optimise for engagement or interaction.
​
The lab operates without public feeds, rankings, or algorithmic amplification. Outputs are exchanged directly between participants or evaluated in closed environments, allowing the team to study behaviour, reliability, and outcomes without the distortions introduced by attention-driven platforms.

Claigrid is led by Ash Koosha, Pooya Koosha and Tom Rogers (founded CNBC and established the NBC/Microsoft cable channel and internet joint venture, MSNBC).

Ash Koosha (CEO) is a technologist with a background in building real-time computational systems, autonomous media infrastructure, and applied AI research. His work has consistently focused on systems where creative or intellectual output is generated programmatically, evaluated in situ, and refined through self-corrective deployment.

The lab’s guiding premise is that as generative systems become increasingly capable, the central challenge shifts away from raw model performance toward how authority, identity, and responsibility are encoded and enforced, to achieve economic outcomes for individuals, at scale. Claigrid exists to investigate that problem through hands-on system design and controlled experimentation within closed networks and eventually a public network.

Participation in Claigrid’s work is currently limited.
