An intelligence-first agency, built to ship.
Calmworks partners with companies long-term to turn ambition into working intelligence. Two operators, full lifecycle: Tarek frames and sells, Vitali designs and builds, both of us see it through to adoption.
Built by two operators.

How we work.
Four principles we do not compromise on, no matter the engagement shape.
Outcomes, not decks
Every engagement ends with code your team owns, running inside the tools they already use.
Orchestration over replacement
We make your existing tools work together. We don’t sell you a new platform to log into.
Your team builds skills
Six months in, your team handles most AI challenges themselves. That’s how we measure success.
Compliance by default
Articles 4, 10, 52 of the EU AI Act are hard-coded into the agents we ship, not bolted on later.
The long arc.
Thirty years of operator work
Tarek scaling a 60-person consulting unit at Miltton and leading transformation across 100+ countries with USAID. Vitali shipping Visma Sign into 2M+ Nordic users, building Parliament of Finland's remote voting in 24 hours, designing DEEP Measures to raise €2M. Different sides of the same lesson: strategy only matters if it ships.
Calmworks founded
One team that frames the problem, builds the agent, and owns the adoption. No handoff gap between strategy and engineering, because there is no handoff.
CalmOS in production
We start running the agency on our own intelligence-first operating system. Pipeline, projects, Calmo interviews, Spar, Composer. Every feature ships because we use it daily, then hand it to clients as their own fork.
Scale and compliance
Calmo interviews running in production. EU AI Act Articles 4, 10, 52 compliant by default. First long-term partners live on their own CalmOS space.
