About LayerLab

We are a company that develops food with AI

We turn months of costly new product development into days.
AI & software engineering, meeting world-class culinary craft.

Our Story

Why we started this

Our team pairs a software engineer with 10+ years at Kakao and YC-backed startups with a Le Cordon Bleu-trained pastry professional. Making desserts ourselves, we felt the gap daily — in software, you fix code and see results in minutes; in food, changing one ingredient costs weeks. We lived through that frustration, so we built the AI that solves it. Its first user and first customer is us.

We build with AI, and sell the AI

We sell the products our AI develops — and offer the same AI to other food companies. Under the YourOven name, we also manufacture bakery and pastry products for other brands.

Sales data trains the AI

Data from every sale keeps calibrating the AI. Predict → sell → refine, in a loop.

We started in the hardest market

Senior food must pass national tests down to its texture. What works here works everywhere else — only easier.

Team

A team fluent in both AI and gastronomy
