About

A lab setting the standard for quality in workplace AI.

PYX Labs builds the benchmarks that define what "good" looks like for AI doing the work that touches employees — built by the I-O psychologists already trusted by the world's leading enterprises.

What PYX Labs does

Three ways we set the standard.

01

Benchmarks

Proprietary benchmarks that define what "good" looks like — scored on real workplace topics, against rigorous criteria written by experts.

02

Expert post-training

The fastest path to move a model toward that standard — tuned on the judgment that separates a good call from a confident wrong one.

03
Coming

Continuous evaluation

The proof the gap stays closed — re-scoring every release against the same expert bar it was tuned to meet.

Independence & credibility

Backed by the people who built the field.

Academic advisors

PYX-Voice is built by PYX Labs with guidance from academic advisors who study workplace AI and employee voice. Methods and findings are held to academic scrutiny before anything is published.

The experts

The rigor is human.

Every task starts as a real practitioner workflow. An expert completes it first — producing the gold-standard answer and the criteria it must meet. Defining what "good" looks like in this domain is the hard part, and it's done by the I-O psychologists who do this work for a living.

Every task and rubric is reviewed and approved by at least two experts before it enters a benchmark. The criteria are what separate a defensible recommendation from a confident-sounding mistake.

How the bar is set
01
An expert completes the real task and writes the gold-standard answer.
02
Criteria are defined — what a good answer must do, and what disqualifies it.
03
At least two experts review and approve every task and rubric.
04
A cross-vendor judge grades model answers against that human bar.
