Present Tense
Invite-only betaPresent Tense delivers a presenter's live browser session to an audience as structured state, so every viewer reconstructs crisp, real text instead of watching video.
present-tense.ioInfrastructure for real-time, structured interaction.
Sentence Labs is an independent studio. We design and build the systems layer that lets products exchange structured state live, reliably, and at scale.
The lab
Live interaction, carried as state.
Most live interaction still travels as pixels, or as a loose stream of events with no structure. We work on the layer beneath that: representations that let two programs hold the same structured state as it changes — cheap enough for a crowded venue network, precise enough to act on.
-
Structured state
We work with state, not pixels. Each receiver rebuilds the result locally, so what people read stays text and the wire carries only what changed.
-
Relay, not record
Our systems pass the present moment and keep nothing after it. There is nothing held against the future, and nothing to replay.
-
Minimal by default
We collect the least we can. Input is masked before it leaves the browser, analytics are cookieless, and we do not sell data.
The studio
Small, and honest about it.
- We are a small team, and we stay close to the problem instead of the roadmap.
- We keep the work honest and the data minimal, and we say what changes.
- During the beta we ship quickly. Features may move or break, and what is free now may be priced later.
What we ship
Our first product.
