🔒 🧠 The ConfidentialMind team is proud to be listed among the top AI Enablers in The Finnish AI Landscape 2025 report, published by AI Finland and Business Finland.    AI adoption around the world is happening at a faster speed than any other technological advancement. We see it being implemented across various domains ranging from startups, SMEs, large companies, and public organizations. But the question remains: is Finland lagging in this race or getting ahead?  This report offers greater insight into this. It provides an overview of the AI landscape in Finland, highlighting how AI is shaping the country and what opportunities there are for businesses. It also shows Finland’s ranking in the world and the EU according to the annual Global AI Index by Tortoise Media, comparing AI-related investments, innovation, and implementation.  Being part of this ecosystem reinforces our commitment to building the number 1 generative AI company from Finland.   You can explore the full report to discover more about Finland’s AI ecosystem: https://lnkd.in/dztxtDFp

🔒 🧠 What's new in generative AI since that DeepSeek stuff? Well, one big problem with generative AI is that getting into secure production-ready state is very difficult for most use cases. Many organizations have become frustrated in DIY RAG pipelines. In fact most companies should not be building their own AI pipelines. This is DIY work is currently going away. Providers are releasing AI component marketplaces, where their customers can download pre-made components. Unfortunately, this is an intermediate step. Why not jump directly into the future? We are now rolling out our own AI systems for advanced RAG, graph RAG, semantic search and many other use cases at ConfidentialMind. Instead of stressing about DIY AI, just concentrate on integrating it to your use cases. Just click deploy, and the system is deployed to your environment whether on your own servers or in the cloud. If you want, we will also let you inspect these systems in real-time, including their source code. These systems include all the relevant backend logic from databases, data connectors, and security rules, to the required inference components. Lot of work and testing goes into these and some of that work you can read in the attached blog post. 👍

We are excited to announce that Edward Kim, our machine learning specialist, will be giving a speech at the AI/ML meetup organized by Symposium AI and DataCrunch.

🔒 🧠 Time to ship. When you are an early-stage technology company only two things matter: (1) solving problems for customers and (2) shipping those solutions. In 2025 we are going to ship at ConfidentialMind. One core insight that we figured out while working with enterprise companies is that generative AI integration done well and accurately is difficult. Most integrations revolve around getting answers based on your enterprise data or performing an action based on the same data. Yet, enterprise software engineering and data/AI teams struggle with getting these systems to perform well. It has become clearer to us that our job is to make the life of our customers as easy as possible. We are going to ship even more complete AI-systems that our customers can directly integrate into their software products or digital experiences that serve their customers. No need to build RAG pipelines, just integrate a complete one from us using a simple OpenAI compatible API. Struggling to add reasoning abilities or more accurate context understanding to your gen AI integrations or agents? No problem, we have a solution for that as well. All of these can be configured and tested in our soon to be released secure cloud, for easier access to our technologies. And that configured environment you can take with you to any compute environment: VPC, on-prem, private cloud, or the edge. A really portable generative AI platform. Interested? Get in touch. 👍

🔒🧠ConfidentialMind on the road. Today we are spending time at our customer Centria University of Applied Sciences. Our Chief Architect Esko Vähämäki was presenting about our 2025 roadmap and seeking feedback together with Henri Dahl and me. We want to meet our users face to face and collect feedback so that we are building tools for active engineering use. Private AI based solutions will become more and more important with increased AI adoption and it is important that universities lead the adoption. 👍
