1. Short description RoboConnect is developing an independent, AI-supported platform that helps industrial companies turn tacit and fragmented process knowledge into a clear, decision-relevant automation case — before supplier dialogue begins. 2. The problem Many industrial companies know they need to automate, but struggle to define what should be automated, what is causing the problem and whether the process is ready for investment. The people closest to production often understand the process well, but this knowledge may be spread across operators, engineers and management, poorly documented or mixed with assumptions and missing data. The customer may therefore approach the market with an unclear problem description and incomplete information. System integrators then have to reconstruct the customer’s process understanding and collect missing data before a meaningful solution dialogue can begin. This creates uncertainty, longer clarification phases, weak or difficult-to-compare proposals and projects that stall early. The core problem is not a lack of technology or suppliers. It is that the knowledge needed to make a good early automation decision is often tacit, fragmented and difficult to transfer. 3. The solution RoboConnect starts by understanding the customer’s process, challenges and actual needs. The RoboConnect AI Advisor conducts a guided professional conversation that helps the company describe how production works today, what it wants to improve, which constraints matter and what information is still missing. The AI Advisor brings together information from different parts of the organisation, separates facts from assumptions and uncertainty, identifies knowledge gaps and risks, and turns unclear issues into practical next actions. The result is a shared and structured automation basis that can be developed into a supplier-ready project brief. Relevant projects can then be connected with suitable system integrators, technology suppliers and R&D environments. This gives the customer greater decision confidence and solution providers a better starting point. RoboConnect is not building a generic chatbot. The platform combines a domain-specific workflow, structured project data and knowledge from industrial cases, expert interviews and feedback from customers and automation partners. Over time, this strengthens clarification, project maturation and matching. The first focused area is welding automation and high-mix, low-volume manufacturing. The longer-term ambition is to expand across other automation categories and build a Nordic platform for early-stage automation clarification and matching. 4. Business model and commercial opportunity RoboConnect creates value on both sides of the market. Industrial companies receive a clearer and safer starting point, while automation partners gain access to better-qualified customer opportunities. The current model is based mainly on supplier-side revenue through fees for qualified matches and successful projects. Future revenue streams may include paid AI-assisted readiness reports, supplier subscriptions, premium access and category-specific products. The model is now being validated through pilots and early customer projects. Norway is the validation market, with Sweden as the first intended scale-up market. 5. Why I started RoboConnect The motivation came from repeated conversations with industrial companies, automation experts and system integrators. I saw that many projects became uncertain long before technology was selected. Companies needed a more independent and structured way to understand their own situation before entering a supplier-led process. With a background in research, data analysis and complex problem structuring, combined with further training in programming, databases and AI, I founded RoboConnect to bridge the gap between industrial process knowledge and automation delivery.

At Appfarm, our mission is to enable anyone to build exceptional digital solutions as fast and hassle-free as possible. We have commercialized a unique cloud-based development platform where you create, launch and manage business software 10x faster than previously possible, without using a single line of code. With drag & drop components and one-click deploy in the cloud, creating powerful digital experiences for web, tablet and mobile devices has never been easier. We are a diverse and multidisciplinary team of around 50 employees with a passion for no-code and changing the nature of digital transformation, but we're growing quickly. Our offices are located at Rebel, a center for tech in Oslo, with a great employee restaurant. Working at Appfarm comes with the following four things: 💟 A healthy and happy work environment where everyone is respected, welcomed and included. We encourage knowledge sharing between departments, and have monthly events where we get the possibility to learn from and praise each others work. 🚀 Career development. We do everything we can to ensure the happiness and professional growth of our employees. We are still a small company that is quickly developing, meaning that there is a lot of room for you to shape your own career by taking on responsibilities in areas that you are interested in. 🎉 A lot of social events where we get to do fun things together! We have four major annual events (summer party, christmas table, cabin trip, and trip abroad), but we also do smaller things in between. ↔️ Flexibility. We believe that our employees know best when and in what surroundings they are most productive, and trust that the work get done without micromanaging your schedule. We are also firm believers in putting family before work when needed, and generally avoid scheduling meetings outside our core business hours.

Most teams that publish video end up with three tools and a compromise: one service to transcribe, another to build and style subtitles, and an editor to cut the footage — usually with the files passing through a US cloud on the way. Inwista replaces that with a single project. Upload a recording, or start from a link, your cloud storage or a blank canvas. Inwista returns an accurate, speaker-labeled transcript in about ten minutes per hour of audio, in more than 70 languages. If text is all you need — a podcast, an interview, a meeting, a lecture, a dictation — you can stop there and export it as TXT, DOCX or PDF, with AI summaries, chapters and highlights generated from the same transcript. If the project is video, the same workspace is a full studio. Edit on a real timeline, or edit by text: delete a sentence from the transcript and the matching footage is removed with it. Subtitles are part of the project rather than a separate step — styled to your brand, formatted to broadcast standards in one click, and translated into more than 70 languages. Anything the project is missing can be generated in place: images, video, music and voiceover. Export up to 4K with captions burned in, publish captions straight to YouTube, Vimeo, Wistia, Bunny Stream or Cloudflare Stream, or deliver finished files to Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, SharePoint, Box, Amazon S3 and Google Cloud Storage. The part we care most about is where it all runs. Every file is processed on our own servers inside the EU/EEA under GDPR. Customer content is never shared with third parties and never used to train AI models — which is why European teams handling interviews, internal recordings and regulated material pick us over the US-hosted alternatives. Inwista is built in Norway and available in nine languages, with a free plan and paid plans from 19 €/month. The product launched as Randi and was renamed Inwista in July 2026.

In Norse mythology, Heimdall is the all-seeing, all-knowing watchman who guards Asgard, the home of the gods. He possesses extraordinary abilities to see for hundreds of miles, hear the faintest of sounds, and stands vigilant at the Bifrost, the rainbow bridge connecting Asgard to the world of mortals, ready to sound the Gjallarhorn at the first sign of danger. Much like the mythical guardian, Heimdall Power ensures the safety and efficiency of power grids. Founded in Norway in 2016, we provide accurate, cost-effective monitoring of both grid capacity and health. We achieve this through advanced grid-enhancing technologies, combining world-leading sensors (Neurons) and software (Heimdall’s Brain) to optimize the performance and reliability of energy networks. Our unique autonomous drone installation system facilitates safe, quick, and scalable deployment worldwide. With our help, grid operators can unlock up to 40% more capacity in their high-voltage power grids while simultaneously improving operational safety.
