Work where an idea turns into something that works.

A concept where an educator records observations about a child by speaking into a phone in the middle of the day. The speech becomes text and adds up automatically into summaries that follow the structure of the child's early education plan (VASU). The prototype's working name is Emppu.

The benefit is manifold: when an observation takes a few seconds to record at the moment it happens, staff get time back for what matters and cope better at work, children are safer, and parents get a better view of the day, which builds trust and supports the child's wellbeing.

The project moves in stages, and the solution is now being piloted in the field. The client is Vertikal Oy, experts in data-driven management and development of early childhood education, basic education and social and health care.

Caesar Finland Oy takes part in NeAIxt, part of the EU's Horizon Europe programme and the Chips Joint Undertaking (grant agreement No 101194172). The three-year, €95.6 million project brings together 66 partners from 14 countries to develop the next generation of energy-efficient and secure edge AI technology. Caesar works on the education use case “Enhancing Interactive Learning Through AI-Based IoT Solutions” together with Haltian, ThingLink and Polar.

Caesar's part in the project is research: we study how real-time learning and sensor data from many sources, such as attention, cognitive load and physiological signals, can be turned into a form that teachers and students understand. Our starting point is human-centred. Too often a dashboard is so full of information that the result that matters gets lost in the data.

Our goal is a real-time view that brings out what matters for the decision, and makes it transparent how the AI reached its results. The direction cannot be fully known yet, and that is the most interesting part of the work.

Caesar Finland Oy is a co-founder of the Absolutely Impossible Production (A·I·P) studio, which works together with Third Season Oy. A·I·P makes marketing content with the help of AI: commercials and music videos, campaign sites and interactive web apps built around campaigns.

The studio combines award-winning Finnish commercial film direction with technology know-how gained in Silicon Valley. The idea is to remove the limits that physics and budgets set on creativity, which gives images, sound and interaction that could not be made before. Every production is also carbon neutral: the energy used by the production and the AI is offset by retiring emission allowances from the EU Emissions Trading System.

Public references include Raptori's “Leikkikalujäppinen” music video (premiered on MTV3 in May 2026) and Koko Suomi Tanssii, the campaign platform for the summer hit by Portion Boys and Komiatit, made together with Iskelmä.

In the works: Marathon Man 3000 (working title), the most boring video game ever made: you run a marathon and the race clock runs 1:1.
