01The proof: FORTHought
FORTHought is the AI platform we built, in daily use at a national research centre in Crete. Researchers use it every day to search their papers, analyse data and process results from their instruments. It runs on the lab's own servers, and nothing they send leaves the building.
- Spectrum analysis: ~2 weeks → minutes, per batch of measurements · closely matches the researcher's own results.
- Electron-microscope pattern analysis: ~2 days → minutes · checked against calibration · used by three researchers.
Between 20 Apr and 18 Oct 2026, 16 people outside our core team typed 8,716 messages into the platform; in any one week, 4 to 9 of them used it (counted 19 Oct 2026).
02What runs on it
- Lab assistant ~2 weeks → minutes, per batch of spectra. Researchers ask in plain words; the instrument's tool runs their method and returns the numbers with where they came from.
- Novit — 60,000+ Supreme Court rulings. It reads a case file, works out each deadline with the rule behind it, and drafts the filing with the gaps marked.
- Phonē answers aloud in Greek or English. You talk to it in Greek or English, and it answers aloud in the language you used.
- Work, Blackboard, Minutes A workspace for longer jobs, a board you draw on that the AI can read, and meeting minutes with every speaker named.
It can be optimised for Greek-language work. Two of these already run in Greek today: Novit, on Greek law and Greek court rulings, and Phonē, which listens and answers in Greek.
03Next: your process
Anything that has to run the same way every time, on data that should stay in-house. Lab analysis, case files, compliance checks, technical reviews.
