The only conversational AI platform for Self Storage. When others close their doors at 6PM, you’re still open. 24/7 in fact. You’d be surprised at how many people are looking to rent storage units at 2AM.

Automation eliminates repetitive and tedious tasks—freeing up people to spend their time on more worthwhile activities.

TerraFirma was founded on the desire to build a brighter future for humanity by revolutionizing how we construct the large-scale physical infrastructure our planet desperately needs. From enabling mega-scale renewable energy projects and constructing resilient cities, to building efficient transportation and eco-friendly water infrastructure, our work today paves the way for a brighter, more efficient future. The first step in all of these projects is to move massive amounts of dirt incredibly efficiently. As we look to the stars, we recognize that mining, processing, and moving raw materials will be the foundation of humanity's expansion into the cosmos.

We deploy, maintain, and improve sovereign AI systems in organizations.

We’re solving a critical problem for the American homeowner - the exploding cost of homeowners insurance - specifically, for consumers in natural catastrophe heavy areas. From south Texas to woodland California to the Jersey shore, consumers are being asked to pay thousands more in insurance premiums every year. For decades, the insurance industry has met the needs of these consumers with a transaction based in PDFs and faxes, and underwriting based on anecdote and human experience. Risk isn’t priced accurately, the sale is high friction and confusing, and those who bear the risk have lost money hand over fist. This is a $30b TAM space where software can create massive value across multiple dimensions; we at Annex are building a platform connecting the dots between what’s best for consumers, insurance agents and reinsurers.

OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic all are using outmoded Tensor two dimensional models of machine learning. Their goal of responsible AI is impossible using this architecture so instead they make video game players and rather poor non-green language models. Instead Noonean is exploring three dimensional neural models of language and knowledge with the goal of producing responsible AI and Insight Engines, vast storages of knowledge that you communicate with through an AI. Our first products were radically more efficient and accurate language models and cognitive search engines. Now we are developing KM Engine for knowledge publishing and modeling and finally Sulu our full on insight engine for companies to mine their knowledge or self service knowledge portals.
