Cases

A selection of projects we've worked on — across climate, democracy, and education. Each one started from a real problem in a real organization, and each one was built to last beyond our involvement.

Climate

Neural Weather Forecasting

Beyond Weather · 2024 – ongoing · Build + Transfer

Developed a prototype based on Google’s Neural Weather Simulation model for long-range weather prediction. Created a generalized data and training pipeline for NWS training, enabling efficient training and adaptation of various AI weather models. Provided strategic consultation on hardware and infrastructure choices to optimize costs and experimental capabilities.

Democracy

DeBot

Dutch Ministry of Internal Affairs · 2024 · Build

Born from our work on Partijplein, this project focused on political debate simulation using fine-tuned LLMs. Created a data pipeline to process over 50,000 PDF transcripts, extracting and structuring more than 2,000,000 spoken messages. Successfully fine-tuned Alpaca and Bloom models to generate realistic Dutch political debates. This collaboration also led to the Democracy Accelerator with Open State Foundation.

Education

Digitheek

Dutch public libraries · 2023 · Build

A personalized learning research project developed in partnership with Dutch public libraries. Starting with digital literacy skills, the project features an AI-powered course environment with personalized learning paths, an intelligent assistant for defining learning goals, and multi-modal responses combining text with relevant visual aids. The insights from this work led to Fluenta, our public tool for personalized language learning.
