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.

01

Specific before ambitious

Start with one workflow you can describe, test and measure.

02

Evidence over presentation

Make it possible to check important outputs against their sources.

03

Clear ownership

Document the system, its constraints and what ongoing support involves.
