About Thinklio
AI agents are powerful. But power without accountability is a liability.
Thinklio exists because we believe autonomous AI should be governed the same way we govern every other critical system in an organisation — with clear permissions, complete audit trails, and predictable costs.
The problem we see
Most agent frameworks optimise for demos. They make it easy to chain an LLM to a tool and call it an agent. But when you try to put that agent into production, the questions start: Who approved this action? What did it cost? Why did it make that decision? Can we roll it back?
Our approach
Thinklio treats governance as a first-class feature, not an afterthought. Every agent action passes through a policy engine before execution. Every decision is logged with full context. Every cost is tracked in real time.
We built durable execution into the core, so long-running workflows survive the real world — network failures, deployments, restarts. Your agents pick up exactly where they left off.
Company
Built by Novansa. Based in the EU.
Thinklio is built by Novansa OÜ, a software company headquartered in Tallinn, Estonia — in the heart of the European Union. That's a deliberate choice, not a convenience.
When you build a platform that handles sensitive data, makes autonomous decisions, and operates inside enterprise environments, where you're incorporated matters. The EU sets the global standard for data protection, privacy regulation, and AI governance. Being subject to those frameworks isn't a constraint — it's a competitive advantage. It means our customers don't have to take our word for it when we talk about data governance. The regulatory environment does the talking.
Estonia itself is one of the most digitally advanced nations in the world — a country that runs elections, healthcare, and government services on secure digital infrastructure. It's the right place to build software that takes security and governance seriously.
GDPR-native
Built under GDPR from day one — not retrofitted. Data minimisation, purpose limitation, and right-to-erasure are architectural decisions, not afterthoughts.
Data residency
Your data stays where you need it. EU data residency by default, with options for regional hosting to meet local compliance requirements.
EU AI Act ready
The EU AI Act is the most comprehensive AI regulation in the world. We're building Thinklio to meet its requirements for transparency, oversight, and human-in-the-loop controls.
Global standards, EU rigour
We serve customers worldwide, but we hold ourselves to EU-level standards everywhere. Security best practices, encryption at rest and in transit, and regular third-party audits.
Founder
Andrew Schox
Andrew has spent over two decades at the intersection of technology and corporate governance — long enough to know the difference between tools that survive a board presentation and toys that don't make it past the innovation lab.
As a technologist and futurist, he's been tracking the arc of AI for years: watching language models evolve from research curiosities into genuinely capable systems, waiting for the moment the infrastructure caught up with the ambition. That moment is now.
Thinklio is built on a conviction that came from those 20+ years in enterprise environments: organisations won't adopt AI agents at scale until the governance story is as strong as the capability story. The technology to build governed, auditable, cost-controlled agents finally exists — and Andrew started Thinklio to make sure it gets built right.
