Get ready for next wave of AI Netflix! This short film was created in just 15 minutes using KIITOS Story Generation, a capability that is still private and not yet available to the public. There was no studio, no production crew, and no budget involved. What changes when storytelling becomes limited by imagination instead of money is profound. Talent gains a level playing field, ideas matter more than equipment, and creators move from pitching concepts to shipping stories. Short films start getting built the way software is built fast, iterative, and deeply personal. This shift will unlock an entirely new wave of creators and fundamentally change how stories are discovered, including how platforms like Netflix identify emerging talent. Creation is quietly turning into infrastructure, and this is only the starting point. In the next post, I will show how anyone can turn their own imagination into a short movie in minutes, without any filmmaking background required.

The Q1 results for Witted Megacorp are out now. 🟢 Revenue €14.9M (up 9.4% YoY (organic growth 4.1%) 🟢 Adjusted EBITA €0.7M 🟢 Rule of 20 at 8.6, an improvement of 15+ percentage points YoY 🟢 LTM revenue €54.0M, growing for the 7th month in a row 🟢 Number of experts 367(325) The main growth drivers are stronger new sales (+15% YoY in euros), last autumn’s work to plug revenue leakage, and strong momentum in software consulting across Finland and Norway. International operations now make up nearly 35% of revenue and have almost caught up with the domestic business on profitability. The market still is on shaky ground with lots of uncertainty abound. Still, customer investment behavior has held steady through Q1 from our perspective. Read the full report (in Finnish) at https://lnkd.in/dcY4tVPU

Was a guest on Visjonærene earlier this spring together with Jonas Fagermo @ Techfolk 🙌 We talked about agentic development and what it's doing to the developer role. Writing code is the easy part now. The real skill is harness engineering: shaping the way agents work, so what they produce is high quality customer value. We also got into what it takes to bring a European SaaS into the US, and what good learning at work actually looks like 👩‍🏫 Link to the podcast in the comment section below 👇

schibsted has released WAAS – Whisper as a Service. It is an open source GUI, API, and queuing layer built on top of OpenAI Whisper. It lets you submit audio or video files, queue them for transcription, and retrieve outputs such as text, SRT, or VTT via email or webhook. The UI also allows in-browser editing of transcriptions for correction. Key points: * Handles the boilerplate around audio transcription like uploads, retries, and callbacks * Works with synchronous and asynchronous workflows * Scales with GPU workers or lighter models depending on resources * Open source under Apache 2.0, making it extensible for teams For anyone working with audio, video, or LLM pipelines, this project is worth checking out. https://lnkd.in/gQDguBN2 #OpenSource #SpeechToText #Whisper #AI #MachineLearning #AudioProcessing #APIs #DevOps #SaaS #Engineering

Two weeks ago, the Swedish government presented a legislative proposal to introduce a state-issued e-ID in Sweden. The new e-ID will be issued by the Swedish Police Authority and will be available both as a physical ID card and in digital form via the digital identity wallet being developed by Digg. Together, this will form Sweden’s implementation of the new EUDI regulation. All EU member states are currently developing similar solutions, which over time are intended to be mutually interoperable across borders. In Sweden, the proposal is for the new e-ID to begin issuance on December 1, 2026. We are now building the infrastructure needed to interact with these new e-IDs — in Sweden and across the EU: – Physically, via NFC-based card reading – Digitally, via identity wallets With many years of experience in reading and verifying chips in passports and national ID cards, we bring all verifiable identity documents together in a single solution. 👉 Come talk to us! #digitalidentity #kyc #eid #eudi #eidas

PROSHOP made better: PROSHOP is a large Danish seller of IT equipment, electronics, etc. (hence the Danish text in the example). They are renowned for their super efficient storage facilities and they do very well in terms of SEO. However, their store has many CRO flaws -- one of them is search. ❌ 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐝𝐨 𝐰𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 When you do a search word analysis of internal search strings in a store like this, most often approximately 80% to 90% of all searches relate to product categories (Computers), brands (Apple) and a combination of categories and brands (Apple Computers). In general, below 10% of all searches relate to specific products -- often searches for product names are below 5%. This is due to the fact that search mostly is used quickly to get to a specific category, such as computers. When I type "Computers" in the PROSHOP store, they thus do this wrong: 1. The search field does not take up the entire screen (it is responsive, but not adaptively designed for smartphones) 2. I get a long list of products--none of which are computers! 3. The product categories--such as computers--are shown way down at the bottom of the search, which few will notice. ✅ 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐭?  By: 1. Opening the search in a full-page window (adaptive smartphone design) 2. By default showing matching product categories and search strings, when typing "Computer"--this will create an instant 80% to 90% match 3. Allowing the customer to press the "Products" tab, if the customers would like to search for products, and likewise for Content. 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐚 100% 𝐭𝐨 300% 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞  Given the fact that search typically has a 100% to 300% higher conversion rate than the rest of the store, this is a huge Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) opportunity. (I have implemented this approach with Matas, Kaufmann, Ditur, Beautycos, Elvvs, Padelshoppen and many more, where it performs excellently). -o0o- #cro #ux #design #ecommerce #

🚀 Top Mobile App Development Companies in Sweden 2026 (For Startups & Enterprises) I’ve been tracking how European tech hubs are evolving, and Sweden remains uniquely strong—not because of volume, but because of intentional quality. In 2026, what defines a top mobile app partner is no longer just technical skill. It’s their ability to think product-first, data-first, and future-first. Here’s what I’m observing in the Swedish ecosystem: ✔ Strategic product thinking > feature lists Teams that ask why before what consistently deliver apps that stick. ✔ AI integration designed for outcomes Not experimental chatbots, but AI-driven personalization, predictive flows, and automated insights baked into core user journeys. ✔ Enterprise reliability meets startup agility Dev teams successfully building secure, scalable systems and rapid MVPs without compromising architecture. ✔ Cross-domain fluency Fintech, healthtech, logistics, travel—the best firms understand the domain, not just the code. What separates a mobile app vendor from a mobile app partner in Sweden (and globally) in 2026? 👉 Ability to stitch mobile with cloud, data, and AI services 👉 Focus on architectural sustainability from day one 👉 Proven multi-industry delivery — from hyper-local launches to global rollouts Sweden’s app development landscape has matured — and for founders and tech leaders who get it, the question isn’t who can build an app… It’s who can future-proof it. https://lnkd.in/gxX7Aaet 💬 If you’ve partnered with or are evaluating Swedish mobile teams, what’s the single capability you value most (speed, domain expertise, AI maturity, or scalable architecture)?

I’ll be in Malmö on February 25 for the first edition of MalmöJS, a new meetup series focused on something I care deeply about: Running JavaScript and Node.js at scale, in systems that cannot afford to fail. When you push Node.js hard enough, you quickly move past frameworks and APIs and start dealing with fundamentals: event loop behaviour, backpressure, memory allocation, CPU limits, and observability under load. At MalmöJS, we’ll talk about: ✅ What performance actually means in production ✅ How to design systems that degrade and recover safely ✅ Where real bottlenecks show up, and how to reason about them This is a great opportunity to connect with engineers in the region working on serious, high-performance systems, and to exchange practical lessons learned the hard way. If you’re working with Node.js beyond CRUD apps, I’d love to see you there. 👉 Register here: https://luma.com/q52blone

📢 Vesiro, our Norrsken Evolve 2023 portfolio comany has raised a €1.6M seed round! 💫 ... The round was co-led by Chalmers Ventures and Industrifonden, with participation from notable angels like Staffan Truvé. We're witnessing a data explosion 🎇, demanding more search, more AI compute and more and more energy. Vesiro tackles this alarming trend head-on, improving the search performance of ElasticSearch deployments by up to 2x (with more products in the works) 👀 . ♻️ This directly cuts energy consumption, lowers emissions, and reduces cost. Without requiring any changes to existing systems. It just makes sense 🫶 Congratulations to Oskar Hagman, Oscar Widén, and the rest of the Vesiro team.

Yesterday I spoke at Nordic Blockchain Conference 2026 about a topic I believe will become critical for organizations: Beyond digital ID - the identity stack for programmable trust. Digital identity has long focused on one question: Who are you? But with eIDAS 2.0, digital wallets, MiCA, DLT settlement, and agentic AI converging, the more important question becomes: What are you allowed to do? Identification alone is no longer enough. Organizations also need to understand mandate, delegation, validity, revocation, and auditability. My core argument was simple: The next challenge is not better onboarding or access management - it is building an identity stack that turns verification into trusted action. That stack connects: • governance and authority • authoritative sources • credentials and assurance • wallets and authenticators • authorization and delegation • audit and evidence Digital ID is the starting point. Programmable trust is the operating model. At dewa, we are researching what this next-generation identity stack should look like. If you are working on wallets, KYC/KYB, verifiable credentials, compliance, payments, or AI agents, I’d be happy to exchange perspectives. Thank you to the Nordic Blockchain Association Blockchain Association for having me on stage & for the great event! #DigitalIdentity #eIDAS2 #ProgrammableTrust #VerifiableCredentials #Blockchain #KYC #KYB #AI #DigitalWallets #dewa
