Brenkins — Commercial applications for frontier AI research

What we do

From the lab into working products

Brenkins develops commercial applications for frontier AI research. Founded by Jamie Brennan and Matthew Perkins, the company works across holistic AI, emotional intelligence, and world models, and turns that research into software organizations can deploy. Brennan's research addresses how AI systems understand emotion and model the world. Perkins's engineering makes the resulting systems reliable in production.

What we build

Our work covers three areas

01

Research to product

We take findings from frontier AI research and build software organizations can deploy and maintain.

02

Reliable AI in production

We make model output verifiable. Our methods ground each machine claim in source data and prevent fabrication.

Emotionally aware systems

We design AI that accounts for human emotion and acts with awareness of the consequences of its decisions.
