Your team’s knowledge.
A little easier to find.
An experiment in searching the notes, documents, and decisions that get scattered as a team grows. Designed around useful answers with a clear path back to the source.
The thinking behind itIndependent engineer & AI founder
Useful AI.
Thoughtfully
built.
I’m Jonas Adler. I build practical AI tools and dependable software for small teams. From a first idea to something people actually use.
01 / Selected work
A few things
taking shape.
Independent projects and early experiments.
Different ideas. The same focus on usefulness.
Fieldnotes
A calmer place to turn research, reading, and unfinished thoughts into something worth keeping.
PrototypeResearch tools
Quiet Ops
Small automations for the repetitive work between the tools. Predictable by default, with a person in control.
ExplorationWorkflow automation
02 / A little about me
Based in Berlin.
Curious by nature.
An engineer’s mindset.
A founder’s curiosity.
I’m interested in the space between what technology can do and what actually makes someone’s day better.
My work brings together backend engineering, product design, and applied AI. I like starting with a conversation, finding the smallest useful version of an idea, and building from there.
Outside the editor: long walks through Berlin, independent bookshops, a notebook full of half-formed ideas, and a fairly serious relationship with coffee.

03 / Working notes
A few things
I keep coming back to.
Start with the work.
Understand the everyday task before choosing the technology. Sometimes the best AI feature is a better search box. Sometimes it’s no AI at all.
Make the edges clear.
Useful tools explain where an answer came from, what they can do, and when a person should take over. Confidence should be earned.
Keep it maintainable.
A small system that someone understands is a good place to begin. Good defaults, readable code, and fewer moving parts go a long way.
