AI for companies that don't want to hand over their data.

Synblob is a small studio for applied AI. We help companies use AI on their own data, ideally with open models on their own servers.

what we do

Workshops. Your team tries current AI tools hands-on and leaves with ideas worth pursuing.

Prototypes. We build a working version of one idea that you can actually try.

Implementation. We turn what works into a tool your team uses every day, documented so you don't depend on us.

how we work

We start with a conversation about where things are stuck. Sometimes AI isn't the answer, and then we say so. We work in German or English, on site or remote.

independence

Many AI services send your data to servers in the US. For sensitive data that's often not an option. Open models are now good enough to run on your own hardware or with a German host. Where it doesn't matter, we use whatever fits best.

examples

A few projects from before Synblob.

Collections by similarity. An open-source tool that museums in several countries use to explore thousands of images by time, theme and visual similarity.

Image generation on dedicated hardware. A handheld camera that sends photos to a GPU server, where an image pipeline re-creates them. Shown at festivals and conferences.

Data that stays with its owner. A desktop app for a research project in which people explore their own social media data on their own computer.

who we are

We've been building software and data visualisations for over fifteen years, spent two years researching AI at a design school, and have led AI adoption inside a company.
