Building the future of knowledge AI

SMITE LABS is an early-stage startup operating at the intersection of scientific discovery, intelligent tutoring, and deep personalisation. We're based in Espoo, Finland—at the heart of Europe's tech innovation hub.

Our Mission

Making discovery accessible to everyone

We believe that the next breakthrough in AI isn't just about processing power—it's about understanding. Understanding individual users, their expertise, their goals, and their unique paths to knowledge.

Our agentic AI systems don't just answer questions. They perceive, reason, plan, and adapt. They discover new insights, teach complex concepts, and personalise every interaction.

We're building AI that works the way you think—augmenting human intelligence rather than replacing it.
