About Talking Agents

    AI engineering and consulting, based in Espoo, Finland. Founded by Michael Malka — a software industry veteran who now builds and deploys AI systems with client teams.

    FOUNDER'S STORY

    Building the AI-Native Business

    Michael has over 20 years of experience in the software industry, including roles as CEO and CTO at technology companies. That experience — shipping products, building teams, running operations — is what he brings to AI engineering. He understands the business context, not just the technology.

    Talking Agents grew out of a straightforward observation: AI agents and machine learning can do real work, but most companies need hands-on engineering help to get from idea to production. Not a report. Not a proof of concept that sits on a shelf. Working systems in real environments.

    Today, Michael embeds directly with client teams to build AI agent systems and ML solutions. Recent work spans predictive maintenance for industrial operations, recommendation systems in gaming, agent development for SaaS companies, and AI strategy consulting for enterprise software providers.

    Background

    • CEO and CTO roles at multiple software companies
    • ML projects: predictive maintenance, recommendation systems
    • AI agent development for SaaS and enterprise clients
    • Builds and operates AgentPlanner as an open source project

    How we work

    Substance over spectacle

    We focus on delivering real business value, not impressive demos. Results matter more than flashy presentations.

    Eat our own cooking

    Every tool, process, and strategy we recommend is battle-tested in our own operations first.

    Clarity over complexity

    Simple, clear solutions that teams can actually understand and use effectively in their daily work.

    Honest scoping

    We tell you what you need, not what you want to hear. No overselling, no unrealistic timelines.
