Lamina Labs

Lamina Labs is a San Francisco company (Y Combinator Spring 2026) building near-real-time video infrastructure for large language models. Its flagship product, Simi, turns prompts, documents, and AI-generated answers into whiteboard-style teaching videos in seconds, handling script writing, illustration, animation, and narration automatically, for durations from one minute to an hour and in over 80 languages. The company targets training, onboarding, product walkthroughs, sales, marketing, and educational use cases, with the stated goal of making video the default interface for AI communication. Lamina exposes Simi to agents through a public remote MCP server at https://api.laminalabs.ai/mcp, secured by an OAuth 2.1-style authorization server with PKCE, dynamic client registration, and job-scoped access tokens.

agent ready

More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Lamina Labs the way a machine reads it — 7 machine-readable artifacts across 1 API, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Lamina Labs scores 19.7/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 59/100 (agent ready). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Lamina Labs

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Lamina Labs. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 1

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Simi Video Generation API

The Simi API submits and retrieves whiteboard-style explainer video generation jobs. Submission is asynchronous: a job is created and returns immediately with job metadata, then...

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Scopes 1

OAuth scopes are the vocabulary of least-privilege access. Profiling them shows exactly what an integration — or an agent acting on a user's behalf — is allowed to do.

Agentic Access 1

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
