We actively explore and build next-gen interactions - AI, voice interfaces (especially Indic languages), AR/VR, and multimodal systems to define tomorrow’s user experiences.
Gain hands-on experience across the innovation lifecycle – from initial R&D and concept validation to building functional prototypes and potentially launching MVPs.
Join a melting pot of designers, developers, and creative technologists. Collaborate closely with skilled AI engineers, motion artists, and product mentors - and learn through real, hands-on creation.
We champion our contributors – receive public credit and recognition for your work on our platforms and potential product launches.
Our lab moves ideas from research to reality—quickly prototyping, testing with real users, and launching tangible products that demonstrate true innovation.
We’re looking for ambitious students and self-taught beginners who are passionate about creating bold, innovative experiences. If you're just starting your journey - and you're eager to collaborate, learn, and grow - this is where you’ll thrive.

Curious about user insights, testing, and product thinking? This is your chance to dive deep into real problems and shape how people interact with future-first solutions.
Skilled in visuals, animation, or micro-interactions? Bring your creativity into the lab and design with purpose — not just polish.
Excited to code, prototype, and bring ideas to life? Work with designers and builders to craft interactive, experimental, and meaningful systems.
This lab isn’t just about building cool things — it’s about transforming how you think, collaborate, and grow as a creator.
Work on challenges with real constraints - not mock assignments. Your outcomes will belong in your portfolio, not just your folders.
Learn from experienced designers and engineers who push your thinking, not just polish your work. Real feedback. Real growth.
Take part in the full product journey — from brief to build to launch. Know what it takes to bring an idea to life.
Top contributors may be invited to collaborate on future projects or join the team full-time. This lab is just the beginning.
Get hands-on with AI tools, new interface models, and emerging design patterns. Build with the tools shaping tomorrow.
You’re not here to shadow or observe. You’re here to create, collaborate, and ship work that matters. This is your contributor journey at FIL:
Join a live challenge with real constraints — not a make-believe prompt. You’ll tackle design problems that actually need solving.
Whether you're a visual designer, motion artist, interaction thinker, or code-savvy creative — you’ll lead with your strengths from day one.
Collaborate with other contributors, developers, and mentors. Think together. Build together.
Final output gets documented, credited, and may be published or submitted to design awards.
Building a voice-based learning tool that speaks the languages people actually use - starting with Gujarati.
Indic
Voice AI
EdTech
An AI-powered tool that reviews digital products for usability, accessibility, and consistency.
Design Tech
Vision Modeling
Multimodal AI
Creating our own training datasets with high-quality, multilingual data that strengthens how models understand and respond in regional contexts.
Deep Learning
Crowdsourcing
Data Infrastructure
Applications for the first cycle of the Future Interfaces Lab are open.
Through the challenge, we’ll get a sense of:
How you approach open-ended problems
How you use visuals, motion, or interaction to tell a story
What strengths you bring to a cross-functional team
We’re selecting 10 contributors only for this cycle. Make it count.
*Applying to FIL does not mean you are applying to a job at Tcules
Go through the context, constraints, and deliverables
Use the tools and style you’re most confident in — we’re evaluating creativity and clarity, not tool expertise
Share your files and a short write-up before
We’ve got answers. If it’s not covered here, feel free to reach out.
Having a portfolio is preferred. We will consider the challenge as your main portfolio. We care more about how you think and solve than what you've done before.
Yes. If you're selected to join the lab, you’ll receive a monthly stipend during your time at FIL. This isn’t unpaid labor - you’ll be compensated for your contribution as a creator in the lab.
FIL is an in-person program based at the Tcules Design Studio in Ahmedabad. You’ll be working shoulder-to-shoulder with fellow contributors, design leads, and engineers - collaborating in real time, in the same space.
Our team reviews all submissions carefully. If selected, we’ll reach out for a short conversation. Final selections are based on creativity, clarity of thinking, and alignment with the lab’s goals.
Yes. Every contributor’s work is credited, documented, and may be published, showcased, or submitted to design awards. Visibility and ownership are built into the lab experience.
