BUDDI.AI

The Google building on 111 8th Avenue is home to a tight cluster of specialized practices, and BUDDI.AI sits in that complex. Enter at the south loading bay on 14th Street, where a small glass lobby sits sandwiched between package lockers. BUDDI.AI shares the floor with data-science consultancies and runs engineering labs behind unmarked doors. If this stretch looks industrial, the engineers inside treat it like a lab notebook in motion.

The address reads 616 W 14th Street between Hudson River Park and the High Line’s undercroft. Tall freight elevators criss-cross a seven-story warehouse layout that once stored olive oil in 1929. Staff ride bikes or scooters up 14th, weaving past mural-wrapped warehouses that feed into Meatpacking nightlife a block west. The same concrete floors now host SSD arrays, robot arms, and overnight model training clusters.

Daytime chatter along the street mixes loading-bay clark bars and curb-side escooter alarms, while BUDDI.AI quietly publishes research on neural-symbolic reasoning and real-time SLAM mappings. Reach the team via *888-283-3405; in-house git repos handle follow-ups and tech reports. Clusters of acoustic foams and induction chargers betray the lab side, yet visitors rarely make it past the secure vestibule.

Early evening the block flips a switch. Theodore’s sign flickers on, cycle couriers twist through one-way lanes, and the warehouse lights pivot to downtown’s next scene. For a map and elevator directions straight to 616 W 14th, use the map that pins the loading-bay entrance.
