Across our AI work.
Companies we’ve worked with across our AI research and development.
Our early testing has included GLM-5.2, Kimi-K2.6 and OpenAI’s GPT Cyber models.
Ideas don’t stand still.
Neither do we.
We believe the best ideas don’t always belong to one discipline. Some begin with research. Others begin with a problem worth solving.
We give each one the space to become something useful.
Different by nature.
Connected by ambition.

From Waterford.
Thinking beyond it.
Based in Waterford, Ireland. Independent by choice.
Meaningful technology can start anywhere. We build from a place that gives us room to think, experiment and follow an idea on its own terms.
One group.
Five products.
It started with Leemer Chat in February 2023. Research, developer tools and civic technology followed. Leemer Group gives that work a shared home, while each product keeps its own identity.
