Specific before ambitious
Start with one workflow you can describe, test and measure.
An independent engineering practice, focused on useful AI.
Northbook is a small, remote-first practice building AI-powered software and integrations for businesses that need practical systems that fit the way a business works.
Good engineering starts with understanding the work.
We focus on three areas: document intelligence, AI assistants and software integration. They often belong together. Extracted information needs checking. An assistant needs the right sources. A useful result needs to reach the software where people work.
We work remotely, starting with a defined problem and a clear delivery scope. If an existing product is a better answer than custom software, that should be part of the discussion.
Working principles
How we think about a build.
Evidence over presentation
Make it possible to check important outputs against their sources.
Clear ownership
Document the system, its constraints and what ongoing support involves.
