Tailored AI systems
We built AI systems at Google. Now we drive real-world impact inside companies.
Let's talkWho we are
Founding engineer on Google Assistant and Google Lens, with over a decade turning AI research into production systems used by more than a billion people. As CTO he scaled a 100-person engineering organisation and drove €50M+ in client profit. As an advisor he set the technical foundations for Jua.ai and Cradle.bio, which have since raised €130M+.
20+ years designing digital products used at massive scale. As UX lead for Google Flights she scaled the product into the largest flight search engine in the US and Europe. At Google Assistant she spearheaded AI-first conversational interfaces — voice, text and visual — and was accountable for the experience across billions of Pixel and Android phones. She led a UX organisation across three continents, advocates for women in tech, and runs an independent leadership coaching practice.
Problems we solve
Whether a workflow was never automated or the automation is not effective, the result is the same: it all lands on your experts, and their day goes into handling what the tools can't.
CRMs, ERPs, emails, spreadsheets — each holds part of the truth, none of them talk. People bridge the gaps, errors creep in, and nobody sees the whole picture.
Everyone says AI will fix it. Off-the-shelf software is built for a market, not for you. Applying AI well is hard: process and technology have to be shaped around each other — and nobody tells you where to start.
How we work
We listen. You tell us what keeps you up at night about your business. Together we decide where to start.
Most AI projects start at the micro level — one tool, one task. We start at the macro level: how work flows through your whole company, where the biggest levers are, and which ones pay off first. Then we decide where to begin.
A small, well-scoped pilot, delivered alongside your subject matter experts. It proves what can actually be unlocked when it's done right — and gives everyone a reason to get behind what comes next.
With proof in hand and buy-in earned, we build the system that fixes the underlying problem: the manual execution layer in your core processes goes away, productivity goes up immediately, and the capacity you gain turns into revenue.
How we do it
Your people bring deep domain expertise; we bring the technology and build alongside them. We sit next to them, learn how the work really gets done, and design together — the people who do the work shape the tool.
We don't sell AI, and we don't replace people with it. We use it to build what your business actually needs. Custom systems that fit your processes — instead of bending your company around off-the-shelf software.
Fixing what's broken is where we start, not where we end. We bring a clear view of what AI makes possible — and work with you as a partner to turn big ideas into products and services that didn't exist before.
We share cost and risk and get compensated from the upside. Aligned incentives let us keep iterating — you're never stuck with a half-baked solution because the requirements were off.
