AI systems lab & product studio
Applied AI products, built for real constraints.
Borge Labs builds and operates applied AI products across cloud and self-managed environments, with privacy, evaluation, and guarded delivery designed in.
Founded and run by Eldar Borge. The work includes Politikkradar, Ordrett, Kontert, and Taust.
Lead project
Politikkradar
Politikkradar helps people follow Norwegian politics through simpler explanations, visible sources, and careful use of AI.
For newsrooms, elected officials and municipalities. National parliament coverage is live; municipal coverage is live in Malvik.
The service combines approved public sources, privacy filtering, stored AI-assisted enrichment, retrieval, and public provenance. Pages render from stored artifacts rather than making live model calls, so sources remain visible and missing work stays explicit.
- Approved public sources
- Privacy-filtered data
- Stored AI-assisted enrichment
- Source-grounded retrieval
- EU-bound model processing
- Public provenance

Ordrett
Norwegian-first transcription for meetings, interviews, and lectures, with speaker labels, timestamps, summaries, and explicit uncertainty. Audio and temporary service copies are removed according to the documented lifecycle; delivered text is stored locally on the device.
Products for sensitive data
Software that runs on dedicated hardware with local models, so the data never reaches a cloud AI service.
- Available
Kontert
Self-hosted bookkeeping for sensitive financial data. Local AI proposes document extraction and double-entry classification, while invariants, append-only audit, and explicit approval protect the books.

Taust
Secure machine translation for interpreting and translation services, between Norwegian Bokmål and about 80 languages. Each draft is checked for changed meaning and flagged in Norwegian, it runs on dedicated hardware in Norway with open-weights models, and no text is stored. A qualified translator has the final say.
