Latin verb [ˈkɛr.noː] — “sift. discern. decide.”

Your trusted partner for AI decision making.

When anything AI crosses your desk, we're your first call.

You don't have time for this. We do.

You run a company of 10 to 50 people. Everyone wears three hats. You get pitched AI tools every week, and you know some of your work is manual and slow. What you don't have is time to figure out which pitch is real. The most AI-fluent person in your building might be the intern.

We spend all day in this space so you don't have to.

FOUR WAYS WE HELP YOU

01

Identify this.

Not sure where AI fits? We map how your business runs and pinpoint the highest-leverage use cases, the places where the smallest change delivers the most value.

02

Vet this.

You've been pitched a tool, or you've already picked one. We evaluate it and come back with a clear recommendation and the reasoning behind it, in language you can share with your team.

03

Solve this.

You know something in your business is manual or broken. We design the best way to fix it and tell you exactly what's worth your money.

04

Build this.

When the right solution doesn't exist yet, we design and build it around how your business runs. You own everything that gets made.
