Usefulness first
Every feature has to earn its place by helping you get something done faster.
About AskBurg
Built to turn questions into clear answers
AskBurg is an independent AI company building a helpful, honest assistant for everyday thinking and work. This is the story of who we are, what AskBurg does, how you can partner with us, and where we are headed.
Our mission
Make trustworthy answers available to anyone, in seconds.
AskBurg started with a simple frustration: getting a straight, reliable answer online often means wading through ads, fragmented articles, and pages that bury the point. We believed a focused assistant could do better: one that listens to the actual question, responds clearly, and admits when it is unsure instead of guessing.
AskBurg runs on open-weight foundation models, adapted with our own LoRA fine-tuning on curated instruction data and optimised with 4-bit AWQ and GGUF quantization with a custom calibration pipeline for fast, reliable, low-cost answers. Whether you are explaining a concept to a colleague, drafting an email, planning a project, or learning something new, AskBurg is designed to get you from question to useful answer with as little friction as possible. No setup, no jargon, no clutter.
We are deliberate about trust. AskBurg is tuned to be concise and honest, to ask a brief clarifying question when a request is ambiguous, and to keep your conversations private. We think an assistant earns its place by being genuinely useful every single time you open it.
AskBurg is a member of the NVIDIA Inception program, which supports startups with developer resources, training, and access to NVIDIA's startup network.

Our technology
AskBurg runs on open-weight foundation models, adapted with our own LoRA fine-tuning on curated instruction data and optimised with 4-bit AWQ and GGUF quantization with a custom calibration pipeline for fast, reliable, low-cost answers.
Open-weight base models
We run on proven open-weight foundation models that we host and audit directly, ensuring full control, predictability, and complete data governance.
Custom fine-tuning
Fine-tuned on curated instruction data to produce concise, honest answers that admit uncertainty and ask clarifying questions rather than guessing.
Quantization & streaming
Optimised with 4-bit AWQ and GGUF quantization alongside real-time SSE streaming to provide sub-second token delivery at minimal inference cost.
Retrieval (RAG) layer
A retrieval-augmented generation layer that semantically segments customer documents and grounds every answer with verified source citations.
What AskBurg does
A focused set of capabilities that cover most of what people ask an assistant to do.
Real-time streaming answers
Responses appear word by word the moment you ask, so you are never left watching a spinner. Start reading immediately and follow up as the answer forms.
Clear, concise explanations
Ask AskBurg to break down a complex topic and it replies in plain language, scaled to the depth you need, from a quick summary to a thorough walkthrough.
Drafting and rewriting
Compose emails, messages, outlines, and summaries, or polish text you already have. Adjust the tone, shorten it, or expand it with a simple follow-up.
Brainstorming and ideas
Stuck for a starting point? AskBurg generates options, angles, names, and plans you can react to, then helps you refine the ones worth keeping.
Conversational memory
AskBurg keeps the thread of your conversation, so you can dig deeper, correct course, and build on previous answers without repeating yourself.
Formatted, readable output
Answers come back neatly formatted with headings, lists, and code blocks where they help, so longer responses stay easy to scan.
Retrieval-augmented answers on your data
For teams, AskBurg can be trained on your own documents and knowledge using RAG, so it answers from your content and cites its sources instead of guessing.
Deployable, white-label chatbots
Ship a branded assistant as a web widget or via API. On special plans it runs fully white-label under your own brand and domain. Learn more.
