Useful intelligence.
A clearer way forward.
An independent AI technology and applied research company building Merism for everyday tasks and complex work.
Merism is our flagship AI assistant and agent platform. Our work connects product development with applied research into how AI systems reason, use tools and leave outcomes that people can inspect.
Meet MerismMove complex work
from problem to proof.
More capable software should also make its work more understandable. A useful result should explain the evidence behind it, the authority an action required and the checks that followed.
We build around that path. It gives people a way to question an answer, review a proposal and decide what to rely on.
Read the missionThree questions.
One inspectable result.
Our areas of interest include reasoning, planning, memory, tool use and evaluation. We are interested in how an assistant handles incomplete context, when it should ask a question and how people can assess its answers. Research directions and deployed product features are described separately.
What supports the answer?
See the sources behind an answer and what’s still unknown.
Who controls the next step?
Review an action before giving permission.
What actually changed?
Check the result against the task, including anything that failed.
Capability carries
responsibility.
These principles guide what we build and how we explain it. They describe commitments to work toward, rather than certifications of a finished system.
Useful intelligence
AI should help people do real work and should be honest about uncertainty.
Bounded authority
Permission to analyze does not automatically grant permission to act. Actions require appropriate scope and review.
Proof over appearance
A completed step is not a verified outcome. We design for evidence of what actually happened.
Security by default
Security, privacy, least privilege, and abuse resistance shape product decisions from the start.
Human authority
People should make consequential decisions with meaningful context and control.
Transparent dependencies
Provider and data-flow relationships should be described accurately as they become active.
