Why us

The platform, the people and the track record to make industrial AI work.

We built Cognite and have spent decades inside the world's largest industrial companies. Now we bring a platform in production, ready-made solutions and our own engineers, and we are paid on the result.

01 / The team

Four kinds of competence that rarely sit in one company.

AI, enterprise IT and data, industrial domain, and transformation. Riff was built by people who have done all four at scale.

We built Cognite, and have spent decades inside some of the world's largest industrial companies, from Saudi Aramco to bp and ExxonMobil, changing how their operations run. We know that transformation takes more than technology: leadership, the business and IT agreeing what changes, and a new capability becoming part of the everyday work.

Our AI goes back long before the LLM wave, through mathematics, machine learning, simulation and industrial software, and we have kept building through the shift to language models and autonomous agents. We have built critical systems at scale, from the transaction backend behind Vipps to product and UX at Microsoft. And we pioneered vibe coding: 250k+ people build on our platform today.

  • We know transformation

    It takes leadership, the business and IT agreeing what changes, how the work is done differently, and how a new capability becomes everyday operations. We have spent decades doing that inside the world's most complex industrial companies.

  • We know AI

    Mathematics, machine learning, simulation and industrial software, from long before the current wave and through the shift to language models and autonomous agents.

  • We know how to build products people use

    Critical infrastructure, world-class products and AI tools used by hundreds of thousands of people. Powerful technology, made usable by the people who do the work.

02 / The technology

Quick wins now, a platform for the long run.

The first agent is in production while most programs are still in design, and everything after it gets cheaper.

  1. Live on your ERP in six weeks

    Ready-made agents, tailored to your systems and running on your own data.

  2. Each agent makes the next cheaper

    The first maps your entities and fills the tool library. The next starts there.

  3. Your systems stay where they are

    On top of the ERP you have, on-prem included, acting through its own business functions.

  4. A platform IT says yes to

    One register, permissions per action, a trail per case, models on your terms.

03 / One program, everyone aligned

Leadership, business, IT and AI, moving together.

Transformation dies in the handovers. One program across all of them is how it survives.

  1. One roadmap

    Where AI creates value and in what order, built with IT, the business and the CEO.

  2. An owner and a number

    Every agent has someone in the business who owns it and a baseline it answers to.

  3. Nothing fails in the gaps

    One team across strategy, IT and the floor, working from the same week's results.

  4. The work shapes it

    Buyers and planners correct the agents on real cases. Corrections become procedure.

04 / The partnership

Platform, solutions and delivery from one partner.

We work inside your organisation until the capability is yours, and we are paid on what it produces.

  1. Forward-deployed engineering

    Our engineers on your systems, beside the people who do the work.

  2. A library of proven solutions

    Agents already running in companies like yours, tailored to your setup.

  3. Capability, not dependency

    Your builders learn on your own use cases until the next agent is theirs.

  4. Paid on the result

    Our incentives sit on what the agents produce, with our team as the backstop.
