Intended Future

Startup/Scaleup

Gothenburg, Sweden

Agent Q is an AI colleague that turns images, CAD and sensor feeds into expert decisions — with clear reasoning and traceable proof. Agent Q is powered by our Context Framework Factory — a method that turns expert knowledge into validated context graphs without retraining the base model. The neuro-symbolic core explains “why” the decision was made, not just “how.” Runs in the cloud today and as rugged edge units offline, so sensitive data stays on site. The Defense track is funded by Vinnova and the Swedish Armed Forces and delivers trusted, high-trust edge deployments. We sell Agent Q as a subscription with paid domain modules and edge licenses. Pilots are live with Honda, Volvo Trucks, A2Mac1, and Tata Motors. We are raising a seed round. Come and listen to our presentation at Founders Stage - AI Trailblazers.

About me

My work, spanning design science, perceived quality research, advanced design, and Industry 5.0 strategy, has led me here: the future isn't just better foundational models. It's AI that understands design, its context, and human expertise.

As the leader of the Data Informed Design SIG at The Design Society and an accredited EU expert in the Industry 5.0, I see where this is heading: enterprises that delegate expertise to Agentic AI will dominate the next decade.

This is why I'm building Agent Q - infrastructure for that transformation.
