Adaptive Continual Intelligence.
A new category of intelligence.

ACI learns from your work as it happens, acts within your rules, and what it learns is yours. Duplex is built on it.

What ACI is.

ACI is intelligence that keeps learning and acting while your work happens. It builds on everything it learned before, and works in tandem with the AI models you already use.

ACI, Adaptive Continual Intelligence, learns and acts while your work happens.

Step 1 of 6: What ACI is

Three words, three behaviours.

Adaptive Continual Intelligence: each word names something ACI does for your work.

Adaptive
It fits itself to your work, and to every change in it.
Continual
It keeps learning for as long as it runs, and builds on what came before.
Intelligence
It generalises, decides, acts and acquires skills, within your rules.
Step 1 of 3: Adaptive

Adaptive: ACI starts from what your team knows, and a correction changes the next answer.

The trilemma of neural nets.

ACI is the result of years of research into neural nets and their trilemma: plasticity, stability and editability. Learn fast, keep what it knows, or let you change what it learned: a neural net gets two at best. ACI holds all three.

Plasticity: a neural net that learns fast overwrites what it knew. Researchers call it catastrophic forgetting.

Step 1 of 5: Plasticity
  1. Plasticity

    Learn the new, fast.

    In a neural net
    A network that learns fast overwrites what it knew. Researchers call it catastrophic forgetting.
    With ACI
    ACI learns from a single confirmed result, and the very next request has it.
  2. Stability

    Keep what it knows.

    In a neural net
    Hold a network steady and it keeps what it knows, but it stops learning.
    With ACI
    ACI goes on learning, and everything it learned before stays exactly as it was, for as long as it runs.
  3. Editability

    Change what it learned.

    In a neural net
    What a network learned is spread through all of it, so one thing can’t be corrected or removed without retraining.
    With ACI
    Anything ACI learned can be reviewed, corrected or removed on its own, and the rest stays as it was.

Holding all three is what lets ACI learn and act at runtime, from your work, for as long as it runs. It is what makes ACI a new category of intelligence.

Intelligence, not retrieval.

RAG, vector databases, knowledge graphs, caches and memory store what happened and find what looks like it. Duplex learns: it understands the pattern behind each result, compresses it into what generalises, predicts what comes next, and acts on it.

When a request only looks familiar, retrieval returns the nearest match. Duplex understands the pattern, and sees the difference.

Step 1 of 5: A look-alike
  1. 01

    It understands

    The pattern behind a result: why it worked, and where it applies.

  2. 02

    It compresses

    What it learned into what generalises, so it gets faster and leaner with use.

  3. 03

    It predicts

    What comes next, from everything your work has taught it.

  4. 04

    It acts

    On what it learned, at runtime, within your rules.

A new category of intelligence.

AI models learn before they are released, and then stay as they are. ACI learns and acts after: at runtime, from your work, for as long as it runs.

Step 1 of 4: When it learns

A model learns before it is released. ACI learns every day it runs.

In tandem with AI models.

Your AI model brings general intelligence, learned from the world. ACI brings Adaptive Continual Intelligence, learned from your work. Together they do what neither does alone.

Step 1 of 4: Learned from

Your model learned from the world. ACI learns from your work.

Why ACI matters.

Until now, only the labs that train models could make AI learn. With ACI, every person and every company has AI that learns from their own work, and owns what it learns.

Step 1 of 4: Who could

Until now, only the labs that train models could make AI learn. With ACI, every person and company can.

Duplex is built on ACI.

ACI is the intelligence in Duplex: everything Duplex learns, decides and does at runtime is ACI at work. Duplex brings it into the assistants your team uses, and into the agents your company builds through MCP + hooks.

Duplex

The product you use

Duplex works inside the assistants your team uses and inside the agents your company builds. It starts informed, decides the route, acts within your rules and carries your context.

  • Inside your assistants
  • Inside your own agents
  • Within your rules
  • In the placement you choose

ACI

The intelligence in Duplex

It learns and acts while the work happens, leaves your model’s weights alone, and everything it learns belongs to you.

  • Learns from every result
  • Acts within your rules
  • Keeps up with every change
  • Yours, wherever you work

One language, defined once.

The words for ACI and Duplex, each in one sentence.

Step 1 of 5: Owned

Your AI is rented intelligence, paid by the call; what Duplex learns from your work is owned intelligence.

Questions about ACI.

What is ACI?

ACI, Adaptive Continual Intelligence, is a new category of intelligence, created by Vareon. ACI is intelligence that keeps learning and acting while your work happens. It builds on everything it learned before, and works in tandem with the AI models you already use. ACI is the result of years of research into neural nets and their trilemma: plasticity, stability and editability. Duplex is built on it.

Why is ACI a new category of intelligence?

AI models learn before they are released, and then stay as they are. ACI learns and acts after: at runtime, from your work, for as long as it runs. It learns your work rather than the world, it builds on everything it learned before, and what it learns is yours. Intelligence that keeps learning and acting at runtime, beside the model, is a category of its own.

How does ACI work with AI models?

In tandem. The model brings general intelligence: knowledge, language and reasoning. ACI brings what it learns from your work. It handles what it already knows, and brings in the model, briefed, for what is new. The model stays as it is, and you can switch models without losing what ACI learned.

What does ACI unlock?

AI that learns on the spot from one confirmed result, acts on what it learned within your rules, follows a new rule from the next request, gets faster and cheaper as it learns, knows when to bring in your model, handles cases it has never seen, acquires skills of its own, and belongs to you, wherever you work.

Why does ACI matter?

Until now, only the labs that train models could make AI learn. With ACI, every person and every company has AI that learns from their own work, and owns what it learns. What it learns compounds with every result, stays in the placement you choose, and is yours whichever model you use.

What is the trilemma of neural nets?

ACI is the result of years of research into neural nets and their trilemma: plasticity, stability and editability. Plasticity is learning the new, fast. Stability is keeping what it knows. Editability is changing what it learned. A neural net gets two at best: learn fast and it forgets, hold it steady and it stops learning, and what it learned is spread through all of it. ACI holds all three.

Who built ACI?

Faruk Guney built ACI, Duplex and his new startup on his own, after years of research into the trilemma of neural nets and more than fifteen years growing Norck into a global on-demand manufacturing and engineering company.
