APPLIED AI AND VENTURES

Enterprise AI,engineered in Oslo.

We build cutting-edge AI systems for B2B companies. They stay robust under full load and scale as your business grows. We also own and operate software businesses, and we invest in AI companies.

WHAT WE BUILD

AI systems that pay for themselves.

Private AI on your own data, automated workflows across your business, and the complex B2B systems that tie them together. Every build starts with a number it has to move: hours saved, cost removed or revenue added.

Private AI

A model that knows your business and keeps it to itself. We deploy and tune models inside your own cloud or data centre, so contracts, customer records and pricing never leave your control.

  • Runs in your cloud or on-premise
  • Tuned on your documents and systems
  • Nothing sent to public AI providers
  • Access controls by team and role

Workflow automation

The heavy, repetitive processes behind your revenue and your costs, handled by AI. Your people step in only where judgement is needed.

  • Quoting, onboarding and order handling
  • Document and case processing
  • Reporting and forecasting
  • Human review where it matters

  • ERP, CRM and data platform integrations
  • Internal tools and customer portals
  • AI agents that act across systems
  • Hosted, monitored and maintained

PRIVATE AI

Your data never leaves the building.

Public AI sends your contracts and customer records to someone else’s servers. Ours runs on yours.

HOW WE START

Show us one slow process. We’ll show you AI doing it.

ON SITE WITH YOUR TEAM01 / 04

Our team has built AI for companies listed on Nasdaq, and we run products of our own. From the first call, you talk to the people who build your system.

We sit with the people who do the job and time each step. We also find the steps nobody wrote down, because the system must handle them too.

A busy phone line may need a voice agent. Manual handovers between teams may need a workflow system. We have built both, and you see the full design before we write any code.

Once you approve the design, we put two figures in writing: what the build costs and what it should save or bring in. You decide with both figures in front of you. If they don't add up, we tell you to keep your money.

Every system we build uses cutting-edge AI and keeps working under full load. As your business grows, it scales with you, and we keep it running after launch.
