I'm not easily impressed but I've been properly inspired by a bunch of young and ambitious entrepreneurs in Oslo lately. When Lars Traaholt Vågnes (Founder and CEO of Simli) and Emil Anker Wiik (Founding CEO of Lunda.ai) told me about their idea of organizing a large-scale summit for AI founders, researchers and engineers back in June, I was skeptical. They had one big idea, zero funding, zero partners, and a very aggressive timeline, given they wanted to make it happen in October. And they proved me wrong. AI Mad Lab Summit took place last week with 400 seats sold out and a solid line-up of sponsors and partners. The event was an utter success with great speakers and even greater vibes. How did they do it? By being "shamelessly ambitious", using the exact words from Lars himself. The startup ecosystem in Norway has long been lagging behind its Nordic neighbors, let alone the US or China. "Janteloven" isn't particularly aligned with entrepreneurial spirits. We need more founders who can think big, think global, and be shamelessly ambitious. Be like Lars, Emil and the AI Mad Lab team. P.S. Google is a proud partner of AI Mad Lab and Startuplab. We invite ambitious founders to build on and scale with Google Cloud, just like what Simli and Lunda are doing. Start today: startup.google.com

These are the people building tomorrow, today. Hundreds of founders, engineers, and researchers came together at AI Mad Lab Summit, all driven by the same obsession: solving problems with code. @ Startuplab we learned from world-class Nordic Seed and Series-A founders how they build their products and companies, and how you can do the same with AI. We’ve posted photos capturing the best moments — check them out: https://lnkd.in/d79SjtNY If you weren’t there, you missed out, but you can still be part of what’s next.

We're seven days away from the craziest AI event in Norway this year! For over a year, we've told evolutionary stories at the monthly meetup, from talking about GPT 3.5, AI wrappers, GPT 4, AGI, AI applications, and deep research to terrific video model applications. These naturally led to the AI Mad Lab summit, an event hosting the brightest AI founders, engineers, researchers, and investors in the region. Aside from the deep networks you'll build, you can expect to learn from: ✅ Anita Schjøll Abildgaard, CEO at Iris.ai - What You Can Build With Nine Years of R&D ✅ Martin Skow Røed, CTO at Databutton - How To Build Apps With Chain Of Thought ✅ Patrick Skjennum, CTO at Strise - How We Use AI To Fight Financial Crime ✅ Hege Tokerud, CEO at Aiba - Safe Digital Lives - How To Make The Internet Safe With AI ✅ Frikk Fossan, CTO at Curipod - Why You Should Build For GPT-6 ✅ Fredrik Thomassen & Jing Kjeldsen, CEO & CTO Superside - Generative AI for Creatives. We also feature a heavyweight fireside with Mohammed Sourouri of Meta and Sina Nek Akhtar of Google. Drew Fleury of Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Fredrik Harestad of Unlisted will be hosting a workshop. 24th October, 2024. 14:30 pm, Startuplab, Oslo.

Last week's Llama Lounge at SAP was pretty awesome - great energy all around! Kicked off with the iconic conch call, setting the tone for an exciting evening. Always a treat to hear Jeremiah Owyang share his insights on the latest AI agent trends! Fantastic mix of founders, corporate leaders, and investors in the room. Enjoyed geeking out about the potential of AI agents, especially how Simli is breathing life into them with a human face😁

Great fun to showcase Simli's solution at the "AI in HR: Agents!" event during SF Tech Week! 🚀 Our focus: Adding a human face to real-time AI chatbots, assistants and agents. Why? Because humans rely heavily on visual cues for communication and emotional connection. By incorporating a human face into AI interactions, we can significantly boost user engagement and create a more immersive experience. It was very cool to engage in discussions about where we can benefit from adding a human face to AI. Some use cases being mentioned: ✅ Transforming dull PDFs (HR policies?😅) to engaging conversations with an AI tutor ✅ Next-level interview prep with an AI recruiter ✅ Immersive internal training with an AI sales coach ✅ Customer support with a friendly face Big shout-out to Indeed and Reach Capital for putting together this cool gathering.

Come join Simli as we demo our solution at the "AI in HR: Agents!" event during SF TECH WEEK by a16z, hosted by Indeed and Reach Capital! The event will showcase the latest in AI Agents, as well as feature an insightful discussion with Workera's CEO Kian Katanforoosh and Reach Capital's Jomayra Herrera. It will explore how these technologies are transforming hiring processes, increasing productivity, and accelerating speed. We're super excited to be invited to showcase how Simli is bringing HR agents to life with a human touch. See you there!
