Sloane Labs is a London-based agentic AI company. It builds Sloane, an agentic performance coach that reads a team's cognitive capacity from wearables, calendars and work chat metadata, forecasts burnout risk, and intervenes autonomously with the user's approval.

Who founded Sloane Labs?

Sloane Labs was founded by Sage Tsegay and is headquartered in London, United Kingdom.

What is Agentic Performance Intelligence?

Agentic Performance Intelligence is the category Sloane Labs created. Autonomous AI agents continuously sense human cognitive capacity across an organisation, predict performance trajectory, and act, instead of waiting for someone to open a dashboard.

How does Sloane protect privacy?

Sloane reads metadata only from work tools, never message content. Text is parsed and discarded, biometric data stays private to the individual, and every autonomous action requires user confirmation before it is sent.

Which wearables does Sloane Labs support?

Sloane connects to well-known wearables. Oura is live today, with WHOOP and Apple Watch in late beta, and Garmin, Fitbit, Polar and Withings coming. It also reads Google Calendar, Microsoft 365, Slack and Microsoft Teams.

Is Sloane Labs related to other companies called Sloane?

No. Sloane Labs is the enterprise software company at sloanelab.com, founded in London in 2025 by Sage Tsegay, working on agentic performance intelligence. It is not affiliated with similarly named organisations in property, retail, healthcare or professional services.

What does Sloane Labs sell?

One product, called Sloane. It is an agentic performance coach sold to organisations, currently offered to a small design cohort rather than through general self-serve purchase.

Is a cognitive performance coach the same as a wellness app?

No. Wellness apps are content libraries. A cognitive performance coach is an agent that reads live signal and produces a personal action.

What signals matter most?

Sleep quality, heart-rate variability, recovery debt, meeting density and the tempo of asynchronous communication. Sloane fuses them into a single capacity score.

Will this work for non-wearable users?

Yes, with reduced fidelity. Calendar and chat metadata alone produce a usable capacity signal. Adding a wearable strengthens it materially.

Does this work for remote teams?

Yes. Remote teams produce more digital signal than co-located ones, which strengthens the read.

Pillar guide

The cognitive performance coach for knowledge workers.

A cognitive performance coach helps a person understand how workload, recovery and context affect their ability to think and work well. Sloane turns those signals into a clear conversation and a practical next step.

What cognitive performance actually is

Cognitive performance is the ability to sustain attention, make sound judgements and do careful work over time. It changes with the task, the person and the conditions around them.

It is sensitive to sleep, heart-rate variability, recovery debt, meeting density and communication load. All of which are now measurable in real time.

Why coaching beats tracking

A dashboard leaves the person to interpret the numbers. Coaching adds context and suggests a next step, in language that is useful in the moment.

For most knowledge workers, the highest-leverage coaching action is protection of recovery, not pushing more output. A cognitive performance coach knows the difference.

How Sloane Labs coaches cognitive performance

Sloane reads the wearable layer across Oura, WHOOP, Apple Watch, Garmin and Fitbit, the calendar layer through Google or Microsoft 365, and the communication layer through Slack or Microsoft Teams metadata. It produces a continuous cognitive capacity score per person and forecasts the next 72 hours.

Sloane can then offer a short morning briefing or speak up when a meaningful change appears. Personal readings stay with the individual; managers receive group-level information only.
