About
The workshop.
Aihio is a Finnish word for a blank: the rough workpiece before the finished thing. It's also a two-person Finnish studio that treats software the way a printmaker treats a block. Carve carefully. Print. Look. Carve again.
Who
Two founders. Both write the code.
Jeremiah Agthe
Co-founder. Before Aihio: co-founded an AI consultancy and shipped 30+ AI implementations for SMEs, trained large language models as an evaluator, and spent five years in sales learning what people actually mean when they describe a problem.
Jere Salminen
Co-founder. Builds software for domains where the rules are complicated and the answers have to be traceable. Background in full-stack development and SaaS founding, usually in regulated industries, including software for the Government of Åland. Happiest where regulation, data and product design meet. Based in Hämeenlinna. His one principle: AI that does the legwork and shows its work.
We use AI as a power tool, every day, on every job. It's why a studio of two can ship what used to need a much bigger team. What we don't outsource to it is the judgment about what's worth building.
Prototype before you promise
The cheapest way to be right is to be wrong early, on a prototype that cost a week.
Show progress on Fridays
A link every week. If there's nothing to show, that is itself the thing to talk about.
Boring technology, careful use
TypeScript, Postgres, proven hosting. The interesting part should be your business, not our stack.
Say no in writing
If something shouldn't be built, you hear it before the invoice, with reasons.
Leave it better documented than we found it
Every hand-over comes with docs a new developer could pick up cold.
