What Dear Intelligence does

Dear Intelligence is a Barcelona-based AI consulting firm founded in 2018-2019 that helps enterprises identify and develop AI opportunities by converting tacit organizational knowledge into actionable AI assets. The company operates with a 3-person founding team (CEO Xavier Martí Renom, CTO Emili Murcia Aragonés, CFO Oriol Cornudella Felip) and targets senior executives and management teams of businesses seeking AI-driven transformation. The firm is advised by senior technology executives from Epson Europe, Microsoft Catalunya, and Huawei, providing enterprise credibility and market access.

The company's core offerings are two products: "dear thinking," a registered methodology that structures a 4-hour executive session to identify AI opportunities through 150 synthesized use cases condensed into 45 business phrases, and "dear neuron," a blockchain-secured AI development platform (currently under development) designed to govern AI development and exploitation while managing data rights, intellectual property, and RGPD/GDPR compliance. The technology architecture combines blockchain for security and audit trails with DAO concepts for collaborative AI development environments.

Dear Intelligence operates a sales-led, direct engagement go-to-market model, where prospective clients book consultation interviews to explore AI development opportunities and participate in methodology workshops. Revenue is generated through professional services including AI strategy design, validation, and governance. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and the company has no app, API, or SDK offerings. The firm operates exclusively in the Spanish market and has no disclosed funding rounds, external investors, or parent company, indicating it is bootstrapped and founder-owned. While 500+ executives have participated in methodology sessions within the first year, no specific customer logos are disclosed, and the company has no app store presence or documented integrations.

Core offering

Dear Intelligence provides AI consulting, strategy design, and validation services to enterprise clients through its registered "dear thinking" methodology, and is developing "dear neuron," a blockchain-secured AI development and governance platform that converts a company's tacit intangible assets (data, information, and knowledge) into scalable AI solutions. Revenue is generated primarily through professional services engagements, with the platform positioned as a future software offering.

Product overview

Dear Intelligence offers a dual approach to enterprise AI transformation: dear thinking (a registered methodology for identifying the best AI opportunities through structured 4-hour executive sessions with visual tools and 150 synthesized use cases) and dear neuron (a development platform that governs AI development and exploitation using Blockchain technology for security and GDPR-compliant tracking). Both products focus on transforming tacit organizational knowledge—data, information, and knowledge—into AI assets.
