About

Building open infrastructure for AI knowledge

Mission

Give AI systems and the teams that use them a shared, portable way to reuse knowledge instead of regenerating it from scratch every time.

Vision

A future where reusable AI artifacts move freely across tools and platforms, starting with MAK4I and expanding into a broader family of open protocols.

Open Source Philosophy

The protocol is developed in the open and MIT licensed. Talvik builds a commercial ecosystem on top of it, not a walled garden around it.

Aswin Kumar Balakrishnan

Founder of Talvik

Creator of MAK4I

Aswin founded Talvik to address a problem he saw firsthand: AI-generated knowledge gets rebuilt over and over because there's no shared way to carry it between tools. MAK4I is Talvik's first step toward fixing that.
