Building the future from South Africa.
We are a South African AI and software engineering company building intelligent platforms, automation systems and digital infrastructure for businesses worldwide.
Founded in South Africa in 2016.
LX Obsidian Labs began in 2016 as a small South African software team with a simple conviction: world-class technology can be engineered from anywhere. What started as hands-on custom software work for local businesses grew into a full engineering company spanning artificial intelligence, automation, web and mobile platforms, and the cloud infrastructure that connects them.
A decade on, that same conviction still drives everything we build. We stay deliberately hands-on — designing, engineering and shipping systems ourselves — so what we deliver is fast, accurate and genuinely useful. Today our products, from the Synapse AI browser extension to the Vista Cinema app, reach people around the world, while the company remains proudly rooted in South Africa.
