  • Datamorf: The Orchestration Layer for Your GTM Stack | Talk with Axel Ruiz | CrockPit #013

    Axel is the co-founder and technical lead at Datamorf, a data activation platform for B2B GTM teams.
    Most companies have a data plumbing problem. Someone on the team is carrying buckets: manually exporting from the CRM, cleaning it in a spreadsheet, uploading to the outreach tool, repeating every week.
    Datamorf lays the pipes so the water flows on its own. CRM enrichment, lead scoring, outbound sequencing, data syncing: set it up once, runs in the background forever.

  • How Can AI Help Us Understand Ourselves Better? | Talk with Stefan Kløvning | CrockPit #010

    About Guest:
    Stefan is the co-founder of Nordic AI and Com2.ai, building AI products focused on solving real problems for businesses and people.

    Through Nordic AI, he helps companies move AI beyond the pilot phase by deploying agentic AI systems directly inside their own environments - with a strong focus on privacy, usability, and long-term value. At the same time, he is building Companion through Com2.ai, an AI-powered mental fitness platform available in more than 100 languages and grounded in neuroscience research.

    What stands out in Stefan’s approach is the balance between technology and people. Whether he’s working on operational AI systems or mental wellness tools, the goal stays the same: building AI that genuinely supports humans instead of adding more noise.

    Companion is an AI-powered conversation app built around emotional support, self-reflection, and presence. Instead of pushing productivity or constant optimization, the product is designed to help people slow down, process their thoughts, and feel more connected to themselves.

    What makes Companion especially interesting is the human-centered approach behind it. The app gradually learns the context of your life almost like a private journal, while being developed alongside mental health professionals to create a safer and more thoughtful AI experience.
