Applied AI · Gothenburg, Sweden

Practical AI for what the big labs overlook.

We build focused consumer products — for studying, job hunting and everyday life — on top of speech and vision models we finetune ourselves. We put our energy where the large labs don’t: smaller languages, local needs, and unglamorous problems worth solving properly.

Founded

2025 — Gothenburg, Sweden

Stage

Bootstrapped — products live in market

Focus

Swedish & low-resource-language AI — speech, vision, everyday tools

01

Four products, live or on the way.

Each one started as a problem we kept running into ourselves.

Studying Live

Minnefy

minnefy.se

Turns a YouTube link, a PDF, a photo of your notes or an audio file into flashcards and quizzes — then makes sure you actually remember them.

  • Study material from almost any source
  • Spaced repetition that targets what’s slipping
  • Streaks, mini-games and shared decks
Careers Live

Talanzo

talanzo.se

A career platform built for the Swedish job market: an agent reads the job boards every day, scores openings against your CV, and drafts the letter.

  • Daily matches from Swedish job boards
  • CV-aware scoring, with the reasoning shown
  • Tailored cover letters in one click
Speech Launching

Snack

Swedish dictation

Speech-to-text that was tuned for Swedish rather than translated into it — built on open, commercially usable models we finetune in house.

  • Built on KB-Whisper, the open Swedish model
  • Keeps up with specialist vocabulary
  • No Swedish-first dictation incumbent today

Matprisguiden

Grocery price comparison

What the same basket costs across the major Swedish grocery chains, indexed nationally and kept current — with a mobile app in progress.

  • The major Swedish chains in one index
  • Store-level, not just headline prices
  • Mobile app in progress

Why we exist

Global AI is tuned for English. We build for the rest.

Swedish has around ten million speakers. Dari has more than thirty-five million. Both get whatever quality happens to fall out of a model trained for somewhere else. Open models plus targeted finetuning now beat the generic APIs on exactly those languages — at a fraction of the cost. We ship consumer products on top of that gap and keep the models we train.

  • Open We finetune open models instead of renting someone else’s defaults
  • Applied Research has to ship into a product to earn its keep
  • Lean Bootstrapped, with written kill criteria for every bet
02

The work behind the products.

Speech and vision models trained in house, on consumer and rented NVIDIA GPUs.

01 Vision

Photoreal driving simulation

Real Gothenburg driving-exam routes reconstructed as 3D Gaussian splats from car-mounted video, and drivable in the browser. Splats carry the visuals; an engine layer carries physics and traffic rules — the same hybrid split the large simulation stacks use.

  • COLMAP
  • gsplat (MCMC)
  • CUDA
  • PyTorch
02 Speech

Swedish speech recognition

Whisper-family models finetuned for Swedish on top of KB-Whisper — an openly licensed, Swedish-optimised model that already outperforms the general-purpose flagship on this language. The output goes straight into dictation and into study tools that have to hear Swedish properly.

  • KB-Whisper
  • Whisper
  • PyTorch
  • Apache-2.0 weights
03 Language

Speech for overlooked languages

A first speech benchmark and model track for Dari — spoken by more than 35 million people, with effectively no dedicated datasets or models today. Built from the ground floor by a native speaker, and released openly.

  • Common Voice
  • Whisper finetuning
  • Open benchmark

Questions go straight to the founders — usually answered the same day.
