## What we do, in one line

Yoshi Labs is a Filipino studio that ships its own AI-native products and rebuilds operating layers for companies that want to skip the agency loop.

## Short description (one paragraph)

Yoshi Labs is a Filipino AI-native studio based in Davao. We ship our own products — Misa, a Catholic companion app for Filipino families; Bleuspace OS, an autonomous operations layer for short-term rentals; and Tessera, our SME studio shipping a website plus an AI assistant plus a booking flow as one bundle — and we rebuild the operating layers of a small number of companies each year. The studio operates on autonomous code review, scheduled research, pre-ship verification gates, and a 24-hour shipping cadence. Founded in 2026 by Prince Yoshiko Intes.

## Medium description (two paragraphs)

Yoshi Labs is a Filipino AI-native studio shipping its own products and rebuilding the operating layers of selected companies. The studio's argument is that artificial intelligence is not a feature to bolt onto an existing business — it is the new operating layer a company is built upon. Yoshi Labs proves that argument with its own work: four live products (Misa, Bleuspace OS, Bleuspace Direct, and Tessera, live with a 100-plus business waitlist), and a single transformation engagement with Bleuspace, a 25-property short-term rental operator across Davao, Makati, and BGC.

The lab is small on purpose. It operates AI-native by construction — autonomous code review on every change, scheduled research, pre-ship verification gates that block bad work from leaving, and a 24-hour shipping cadence. Yoshi Labs takes on one company transformation each year and ships two products a season. It is based in Davao and was founded in 2026 by Prince Yoshiko Intes, a Filipino-Canadian founder who migrated to Calgary in 2020 and returned to the Philippines to build the AI-native infrastructure of Filipino business before foreign labs do.

## The products

### Misa · Live · misa.yoshilabs.io
A companion for Filipino Catholic families. Mass times, candles, intentions, novenas, the rosary. Filipino-first, sacred in tone, designed to feel like a parish. Paid tier launching with the upcoming iOS app.

### Bleuspace OS · Live · staging.bleuspace.co
An autonomous operations layer for short-term rentals. Multi-tenant, with five safety guards, a knowledge base, incident response, a founder's dashboard, and a single autonomous agent ("Bleu") that classifies, drafts, and escalates guest messages. JEW-approved through three internal review rounds. Powering Bleuspace, a 25-property short-term rental operator across Davao, Makati, and BGC.

### Bleuspace Direct · Live · bleuspace.co
A direct-booking platform for the same 25 premium properties. PayMongo payments, Guesty reservations, Resend-branded confirmations. Zero-touch automated bookings since May 2026.

### Tessera · Live · tessera.yoshilabs.io · 100+ businesses on waitlist
The Yoshi Labs studio for small-business websites. Productized rather than custom — a studio-grade site, an AI assistant, and a working booking flow bundled and live in days. ₱4,999/mo Studio Pro tier including site, AI assistant, booking, CRM, e-signature, and a self-serve client portal.

## The thesis

Three propositions:

1. The Philippines sits at three percent AI adoption while seventy-seven percent of small businesses want digital tools. The gap is closing in this decade — by foreign labs if no one local moves.

2. Yoshi Labs is AI-native by construction. Autonomous code review, scheduled research, pre-ship gates, and a 24-hour shipping cadence. The products are downstream of how the lab is built.

3. Filipino-first is not a market choice. It is a brand DNA call. Cormorant Garamond on capiz, mass times in PHT, peso pricing — built here, for here, then carried out into the region.
