HubLab Debuts as Australia's Regulatory AI Powerhouse

MEDIA RELEASE | 28 APRIL 2026

HubLab Launches as Australia's Regulatory Intelligence Layer — Backed by One of the World's Most Advanced Regulatory AI Engines and Already Delivering Proof at Enterprise Scale.

HubLab sits between enterprise-grade AI and Australia's regulated industries, closing the gap that operational systems cannot. CERTAiNTY, its first AI deployment and Australia's first insurance-backed payroll assurance engine, is already in enterprise rollout. More will follow.

Australia's first and only insurance-backed payroll assurance engine is live.

HubLab, powered by Labrynth, has launched to close that gap — and payroll is just where it starts.

With Hubify's strategic equity investment in HubLab now complete — announced to the ASX on 17 April 2026 — HubLab is fully operational and ready to scale across Australia's most complex regulated industries: payroll, healthcare, building and construction, financial services and government.

CERTAiNTY, Australia's first and only insurance-backed payroll assurance engine, is HubLab's first AI deployment — already live, already processing more than 80,000 shifts, and already generating the compliance records that boards and directors now legally need. CERTAiNTY is a resounding proof point in deploying modern AI to critical solve problems and create new value for enterprises across Australia.

Delivered nationally through Hubify's enterprise customer base and managed services capability, HubLab is already in active conversations with enterprise and government clients across Australia. This is the beginning.

HubLab: Built for the Interpretation Problem

HubLab is an Australian company that deploys enterprise-grade AI to interpret regulatory obligations across payroll, healthcare, building and construction, financial services, and government. It identifies where regulatory complexity creates risk, deploys AI to resolve it, and owns the customer relationship from discovery through to ongoing licensing. One point of accountability. One goal: making the compliance problem go away by delivering on the hope of modern AI.

The technology underneath is not a chatbot with a compliance prompt, and it is not general-purpose AI configured for regulation. It is a multi-agent reasoning system built specifically for the way regulated industries work — retrieving the actual regulatory text in real time, interpreting it in context, applying precedent, resolving ambiguity, and producing reasoning that can be audited and defended. Every finding traces back to the clause that produced it. Every engagement leaves an immutable evidence record behind.

The Engine Behind It: Labrynth

HubLab is powered by Labrynth — an enterprise-grade regulatory intelligence engine purpose-built to read, interpret and apply regulatory instruments with the precision and auditability that legal and governance environments demand.

It does not summarise regulation. It understands it.

Labrynth was spun out of Invisible Technologies — the company that built the training infrastructure trusted by the world's largest AI model providers. That is the lineage which is now carried into the Australian market.

Labrynth is backed by Infinity Constellation, the world's first AI holding company, and founded by Stuart Lacey, who has spent two decades at the intersection of regulation and technology. It is already deployed internationally across energy, healthcare, government and property sectors.

Critically, Labrynth is not a black box. Its architecture is built with human in the loop — where AI-reasoned training and output is augmented and reviewed by an expert human network before it becomes a final determination. The intelligence does the heavy lifting. A human signs off. That is what makes the output defensible in any legal or regulatory context.

Labrynth holds a co-founding equity stake in HubLab. HubLab holds Labrynth's exclusive Australian commercialisation rights. The upside is aligned in both directions by design.

The Execution Layer: Hubify (ASX: HFY)

Hubify provides the national execution layer. It brings more than 600 enterprise and government customers across Australia, a national delivery footprint, and the managed services capability to implement, integrate, secure and support AI workloads at scale.

Hubify Non-Executive Director Charbel Nader has been appointed Chairman of HubLab, with Labrynth CEO Stuart Lacey joining the HubLab board as a Director. The structure gives Australian enterprise and government customers one accountable party across advisory, deployment and ongoing operations. Every Hubify customer is a pre-qualified HubLab conversation — a structural distribution advantage no pure-play local competitor currently commands.

The First Deployment: CERTAiNTY

Here is what no other payroll compliance platform in Australia can say: CERTAiNTY is backed by an independent underwriter. A third party has assessed the platform, validated what it produces, and provided insurance cover for the outcome. That is not a marketing claim. That is the insurance industry validating underwriting based on modern AI reasoning — and it has never been done before in this space.

Since January 2025, deliberate underpayment has been a criminal offence in Australia, with personal liability for directors. Most organisations remain exposed, running payroll infrastructure that was never designed to carry that risk.

CERTAiNTY sits as a layer on top of existing payroll systems — no rip-and-replace required. It reads Modern Awards and Enterprise Bargaining Agreements in real time, validates every pay run before it locks, and produces a timestamped, AI-reasoned Instance Record for every pay period. Those records become part of an organisation's legal file. Switching away means losing evidentiary continuity — which is itself a compliance liability.

With a pilot complete on a listed enterprise, with more than 80,000 shifts processed and 4,000-plus employees covered across every Modern Award, enterprise scale rollout is now underway. CERTAiNTY is the first tick. Building and construction, healthcare and financial services are next.

Australia is the third-largest RegTech market globally and operates some of the most technically demanding regulatory frameworks in the English-speaking world. That complexity is not a constraint. It is the proof ground. What works here works anywhere. Government conversations with HubLab are already underway, and further client and sector announcements are expected in the months ahead.
