Why we named a company after the oldest joke in IT support
Error Between Keyboard and Chair — the idea behind EBKaC labs, and why the humans are the point.
Inherently human.
EBKaC labs is named for an old joke — “Error Between Keyboard and Chair.” We build small, careful tools for the humans who use them.
What we do
Three kinds of work, one premise: start with the human.
-
01
Apps & tools
Small, sharp tools. Most of them started as something we needed and couldn't find — they do one job well, run in your browser and get out of the way.
-
02
Community software
Software for grassroots groups — starting with HomeTurf for community sport — built with the people who use it.
-
03
AI consulting
AI consulting, mostly for teams who've been burned by AI consulting. Practical, human-centred work: assistants and automations that do the busywork so people can do the real work.
