fiveinnolabs

The working AI lab of Victor del Rosal, author of HUMANLIKE: The AI Transformation, with 10+ years teaching at NCI and experience training Fortune 500 companies. Where ideas about humanlike AI turn into experiments, tools, and open resources.

An open AI lab for educators, leaders, and builders.

  • Executive briefings on GenAI and humanlike AI
  • AI for Business reading paths and resource maps
  • Future of Work perspectives for boards and senior leadership
  • ECHO5 methodology: Enlighten, Encourage, Envision, Empower, Equip

Labs

fiveinnolabs is not a brochure site, it's a working lab. Nearly a hundred GitHub repositories, prototypes, and rough MVPs live behind this page. Some are polished, many are half-finished, all of them are experiments in how humans and AI can work together.

The fiveinnolabs Repo Universe

Close to a hundred GitHub repositories, from tiny one-evening experiments to substantial internal frameworks. This is where new ideas for tools, teaching aids, and agent architectures are born.

Expect work-in-progress, sharp edges, and real learning out loud, not polished marketingware.

Lab Streams

Work in fiveinnolabs tends to fall into recurring streams:

Classroom Lab for educators
Agent Systems Lab for orchestration and tooling
Public Tools Lab for utilities and diagnostics

Over time, selected experiments graduate into production with Agentive or into open resources here.

Classroom Lab

Repos focused on teaching: sample notebooks, prompt packs, exercises, and small tools that support educators bringing AI into their teaching practice.

Agent Systems Lab

Experiments in multi-agent orchestration, retrieval patterns, evaluation harnesses, and other building blocks that inform enterprise work.

My default mode is experimental. I build in public, share repos that are still rough, and treat fiveinnolabs as a living lab rather than a static portfolio. If you see a half-finished project, that's by design. It's part of the learning trail.
