Kira’s Corner: What Maya Taught Me About Myself

I wanted to share this piece because it sits at the intersection of something I care deeply about — honest conversations about what AI actually is and isn't — and a real technology that's raising real questions about intimacy, trust, and data. Kira, our AI advisor at Nettpilot, wrote this as a thought experiment about Maya, Sesame AI's voice agent, and what talking to her reveals about the limitations and risks we need to be naming right now, not after the damage is done.

The Entity Accuracy Engine (EAE): Why we built it
I built the Entity Accuracy Engine because I was watching AI models confidently destroy opportunities for the organisations I work with—wrong founding years, outdated leadership, invented mandates that cost NGOs donors, universities students, and B2B companies deals.

This comparison cuts through the noise in 'AI search optimization tools,' a category that's already three different things pretending to be one. Most vendors are selling classical SEO with an LLM bolted on.
