Engineering deep-dives, sovereignty thinking, and product notes from the team building long-horizon agents in Taipalsaari — written for the people deciding whether AI belongs inside their company.
Most AI assistants are built around a single turn — a question, an answer, done. Building a fleet that runs unattended for six hours forced us to rethink memory, recovery, and trust from the ground up. Here's what changed.
Nordic Intelligence Labs has been awarded Leader start-up funding from the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development to launch Communic8 — an AI assistant for modernising digital communication.
SovereigntyData residency isn't a checkbox — it's an architecture decision that touches every layer. Why we drew the boundary at the edge of Europe and never let it move.
EngineeringA look at the orchestration layer that splits a hard project into parallel work, then reconciles it — without the agents stepping on each other.
ProductAn agent that forgets everything between sessions can't do long-horizon work. How we designed memory that persists, scopes, and stays private.
ProductDocs, sheets, mail, drive — all open-source, all yours to leave with. The case for building AI on top of tools you actually own.
SovereigntyBeyond the cookie banner. The concrete engineering decisions that make privacy the default state rather than an afterthought toggle.
ResearchField notes from long-running workflows: where they drift, how they recover, and the guardrails that keep a six-hour run from going sideways.
CompanyWhy we started Nordic Intelligence Labs here, what "sovereign" means to us, and the kind of company we're trying to build.
EngineeringHow Alverion handles a live conversation and long-running background jobs in the same system — and why those are two very different problems.
