Research

We don't use external models or APIs. Our research focuses on building truly open workflow AI from the ground up—understanding and automating human work through observation and learning.

Research Focus

The core technologies powering Brend

Multimodal Video Ingestion

Our core differentiator: an AI engine that learns workflows by observing screen recordings. Brend watches how you navigate tools, fill forms, and complete tasks—then replicates that work at scale.

Workflow Understanding

Going beyond simple automation to truly understand the intent and context of human work. Brend learns not just what you do, but why you do it.

Multi-Workspace Orchestration

Executing complex queries and tasks across disparate data sources and applications simultaneously. Breaking down silos between your tools.

Voice AI

Natural language voice interactions for customer support, intake processes, and communication. Human-like understanding with machine efficiency.

Principles

Observation over instruction

Learn from watching, not from explicit programming

Understanding over mimicry

Grasp intent and context, not just surface actions

Openness over black boxes

Transparent models and reproducible results

Our Technology

Built from the ground up, owned entirely in-house

brend-assistant-v3

Our AI model, trained in-house by our research team. No external APIs, no black boxes—full control over capabilities and behavior.

Training Data

Accumulated and curated video, workflow recordings, and general purpose knowledge data for multimodal understanding.

buldak-server

Our own inference infrastructure, maintained and developed in-house for optimal performance and reliability.
