CohesionLabs

What CohesionLabs does

CohesionLabs is an Austin, Texas-based boutique consultancy that designs and builds custom software platforms, AI knowledge systems, and workflow automation for small and medium American businesses. Its engagements replace Excel-based processes, disconnected systems, and manual reporting with bespoke operational platforms — exemplified by a commercial jobsite management system for a drywall contractor that removed $420K in annual manual costs, a private AI knowledge base for a CPA firm, a complete adjuster and invoicing platform for a disaster insurance company replacing its prior internal system, and a workforce management platform with automated event-to-staff matching for a staffing agency. A proprietary "Coordination Signal" framework (Workflow Architecture, Automation Layer, Operational Memory, Visibility & Control) structures the build methodology.

The firm operates as a founder-led practice under Gabriel De La O, who positions the company's differentiation on combined technical depth (~20 years) and direct operating experience running a business. The business model combines bespoke custom software projects (variable pricing), a two-day AI agent workshop offered as public cohorts at $1,497 per seat (capped at 10) and as private team engagements at a $5,000 flat rate, and a recurring SaaS revenue stream via Bynaus.ai — a multi-tenant construction SaaS productized in 90 days from an earlier custom platform. Customer concentration is centered on a small number of anchor SMB and mid-market projects, and AI capabilities rely on third-party foundation models (Claude and ChatGPT) rather than proprietary model development.

Broad incumbents

• Moveworks: Enterprise AI platform for workplace automation, knowledge retrieval, and operational workflows. Directly comparable to CohesionLabs' AI knowledge systems and operational memory capabilities but as a scaled SaaS platform.
• ServiceNow: Enterprise workflow and operations platform with deep capabilities in coordination, automation, and integration. Comparable in vision (an operational system of action) but competing at the high end with packaged offerings.
• Workato: Enterprise iPaaS and workflow automation platform. Comparable to CohesionLabs' workflow architecture and integration work but as a scaled, multi-tenant platform competing against the custom-build model.
• Tray.io: General-purpose iPaaS for API integration and workflow orchestration. Comparable to CohesionLabs' integration platforms and automation layer, but offered as packaged software rather than custom builds.
• UiPath: Leading process automation and RPA platform with a broad portfolio spanning workflow, document understanding, and AI. Comparable in targeting operational automation and process efficiency for non-enterprise buyers, but at vastly larger scale.

Direct peers

• Parabola: Workflow automation platform targeting operations teams at SMBs and mid-market companies. Comparable to CohesionLabs' workflow automation and operational platform work, especially Bynaus.ai-style productization for non-technical operators.
• Hatchworks AI: AI and generative AI consultancy building bespoke AI solutions and software products for mid-market and enterprise clients. Comparable in service-led custom delivery, AI focus, and growing productization ambitions.
• Tribe AI: AI-native consultancy that designs and deploys custom AI solutions for enterprises. Closely comparable to CohesionLabs in its boutique model, custom-build orientation, and emphasis on practical AI deployment rather than off-the-shelf products.

Emerging players

• AKASA: AI-driven automation company focused on operational workflows in specific verticals. Comparable in applying AI to operational back-office problems but operates at a larger scale and with more vertical specialization.
• Catalytic: Process automation and data workflow platform aimed at operations teams. Comparable to CohesionLabs' workflow automation and reporting platforms in addressing operational bottlenecks for non-engineering users.
