First Layer Labs

Becoming AI-native.

Becoming AI-native is on every company’s roadmap. It’s also on the mind of every person inside one. Neither side has the playbook yet.

First Layer Labs is how I’m exploring this problem: building small tools and trading notes with operators working on the same thing.

What I’m building

I’m learning AI by using it in my own work. As I find aha moments along the way, I share them here, hoping they help you find your own. Best for non-technical employees at companies using Claude, but anyone bringing AI into their work might find something useful.

Tool Use it in your browser. Nothing to install.
Skill Install once. Claude does this in any chat after.

About

Sarah Wissel

As co-founder of Repeat (acquired in 2024), I spent years as a product-minded founder obsessed with two questions: how to get customers to actually adopt and use a product, and how to build an organization that ran efficiently and moved in one direction.

Both questions are at the center of AI right now. Companies are working on both at the same time: getting their people to actually use these tools, and reshaping the work around them.

First Layer Labs is where I’m applying those learnings to AI.
