Expertise, licensed
Kenning turns deep expertise into licensed AI agents. Companies get answers signed by a named expert. Experts earn a royalty every time their agent works, without selling their hours.

How it works
One transaction sits at the heart of Kenning, and every answer makes the next one better.
A real R&D question, scoped into a short brief with a fixed price.
We assemble one to three agents, each built from a real expert’s work and judgment, with sources cited.
No brief reaches a client until a human expert has reviewed it and put their name on it.
The ledger records who contributed what, updates each agent’s track record and pays the experts.
Two sides, one deal
For experts
Your thesis is only the start. A guided interview captures what papers never say: what failed, which methods you trust, what you would never try.
~$7,000 a monthIllustrative: four signed briefs a month, about four hours of review.
For companies
Bring the problem your team is stuck on. Get a written brief, with options, sources and a named expert behind it.
Founding ratesThe first five companies get founding pricing and direct access to the team.
For universities
Kenning Campus maps who knows what across departments and groups. Researchers opt in, build their agents, and the university earns a share of every brief they contribute to. Research reaches industry without adding work to your tech-transfer office.
Where a $5,000 brief goes
Planned split for briefs sourced through a partner university. Final terms are set per partnership.
Built on trust
A credentialed expert reviews and signs every brief before a client sees it.
Every claim points back to the papers, data and notes it came from.
Agents decline questions outside their field instead of guessing.
Scores come from approvals, edits and client ratings on real work.
Experts decide where their agent works and can withdraw it.
Who owns results and who is named as inventor is agreed before work starts.
Questions
You do. Kenning gets a license to run it on briefs you agree to. You can pause it or withdraw it, and your name only appears on work you have signed.
Agents draft; people decide. Every brief is reviewed and signed by a named expert, agents stay inside a declared scope, and our contracts set clear liability limits backed by professional insurance.
An AI can’t be an inventor, so the human experts are. Ownership, licensing and inventorship between the expert, their university and the client are agreed in writing before any work begins.
No. Any model can read published papers. A Kenning agent also carries your judgment, captured in a structured interview: what failed, which methods you trust and where the real limits are.
Materials, process engineering, applied chemistry and sustainability R&D for mid-size manufacturers. If your field is different, join anyway: we use the waitlist to decide where to go next.
