Applied intelligence for real organisations

From complexity to outcome.

Linear Horizon understands how work actually happens, identifies the points of friction, and builds intelligent systems that turn insight into action.

We work with organisations that need AI to do real work, not sit in a demonstration. That means training your people, designing the system properly, and taking it into production.

What Linear Horizon does

Two complementary sides of the same practice. You do not have to choose one or the other.

Linear Horizon Products

Agentic systems for real organisational work.

Linear Horizon Platform is an operating system for AI. Specialist products then apply that system to analysis, research, strategy, growth and customer service.

Operating system

Platform

AI operating system

Platform is an operating system for AI.

Agents, tools, memory, permissions and controls that let AI operate around the work your organisation already does.

Applications

  1. Stack

    Analysis

    Agents that analyse.

    An agentic data analysis system that investigates open-ended questions, tests hypotheses and produces a structured analytical deliverable.

    Explore Stack

  2. Solve

    Research

    Agents that reason.

    An unattended problem solver: each tree node is axioms, reasoning and an evaluating agent. A run wakes high-scoring or interesting nodes to ideate, Horn-generate or GA-mix.

    Explore Solve

  3. Wargame

    Strategy

    Agents that strategise.

    An agentic strategy system that models actors, incentives and possible responses, then simulates how they interact — a machine that can predict the future.

    Explore Wargame

  4. Funnel

    Growth

    A local agentic CRM.

    A desktop agentic CRM that researches organisations, qualifies opportunities and drafts outreach locally. Your data never leaves your desktop.

  5. Callcenter

    Customer Service

    Agents that serve customers.

    Resolve customer needs across voice, messaging and email, with intelligent human handoff when judgement matters.

    Explore Callcenter

  6. Query

    Analytics

    Agents that investigate usage.

    Privacy-conscious product and website analytics, where agents investigate the numbers rather than leaving you to read another dashboard.

    Explore Query

  7. Chat

    Interface

    Agents you can talk to.

    A conversational interface to your agents — streaming answers, visible working and voice, on top of the Linear Horizon Platform.

Services · Train. Advise. Build.

We teach AI, design it, build it, and provide the technology to run it.

  1. 01

    TRAIN

    Build AI capability inside your organisation.

    Technical training led by practitioners, grounded in real engineering experience.

  2. 02

    ADVISE

    Work out what to build — and how to build it properly.

    Strategy, discovery and architecture from people who still work with the underlying technology.

  3. 03

    BUILD

    Take AI into production.

    Agents, RAG, intelligent applications and bespoke AI systems designed around real organisational requirements.

Start where you need us

Services are how we work with you. Products are the technology we have already built.

Book a programme, bring us in for architecture, commission a system, or deploy a product. You should not be forced into a single path — the capabilities reinforce each other.

    Decide what to build

    Identify where AI is useful, what the architecture should be, and what good looks like.

  3. 03

    Deploy working systems

    Take a design into production against real data, interfaces and ownership.

  4. 04

    Accelerate with products

    Use existing Linear Horizon technology where the problem already has a product shape.

Train

Serious engineering education.

Practitioner-led training for teams who have to ship. A catalogue covering foundations, engineering, RAG, agents and architecture — shaped to your organisation, not a public timetable.

Training

Build

Bespoke systems, when a product is not the whole answer.

Agents, RAG, copilots and applications designed around existing systems. Where Platform and the specialist applications already cover the problem, we start there. Where they do not, we still build.

Practice

A specialist applied AI engineering company. Training, consultancy, production systems and proprietary agentic technology — led by people who still do the work.

Linear Horizon is both a training company and an engineering practice. The same people who design and build AI systems also teach how they work — and provide the technology used to run them.

About

Principal

Nicholas Johnson

AI architect and software engineer

The work is led from practice: architecture, engineering, and the teaching of both.

Talk to us

From first understanding to a working production system.

Tell us about your organisation and the problem. We can help with training, architecture, delivery, a product deployment — or the path that actually fits.

Engagement notes — forthcoming

Selected work will appear here when it can be discussed. Until then, we are happy to talk about it directly.
