How We Work

Our Approach

We're a small team. We build AI solutions, advise on approaches, and develop techniques for the social impact space, helping organizations tap into the richness of their data and explore new ways of working to further their impact.

We think big tech is getting AI wrong. The push toward cognitive offloading, the sycophantic chatbot defaults, the relentless hype cycle: it's giving the world a distorted picture of what this technology can do. We believe small tech can correct that. AI should sharpen human judgment, not replace it.

We find opportunities where AI creates genuine change, then we build alongside the organizations doing the work. They bring the domain expertise. We surface what AI makes possible and iterate together until it clicks.

  • AI solutions and techniques | We work with LLMs, SLMs, VLMs, and agentic AI systems to build practical solutions that connect structured and unstructured data, helping organizations tap into the richness of what they have and explore new ways of working.
  • Leveraging human intelligence | AI should free people to do what they do best. Whether it's automating the mundane or surfacing insights humans would miss, the point is the same: let human intelligence focus where it matters most.
  • Building together | We work inside your domain, not from the outside looking in. You bring the expertise. We bring the AI opportunity. The result is new ways of operating that neither side would have reached alone.
  • Working solutions, not consulting reports | We deliver working software and practical approaches, not slide decks. What we build together is designed to be used, extended, and owned by the people closest to the work.
  • Open source and shared infrastructure | Most of what we build is open source, with full transparency on methodology. The social impact sector needs shared infrastructure, not proprietary lock-in.
  • Degrowth and decolonization | Centralized AI from big tech serves as a tool for digital colonization and contributes to unsustainable energy consumption. We prioritize community ownership, local capacity building, and efficient models that minimize environmental impact. Sustainable growth over extractive practices.
