HILLS Lab

Context infrastructure for software teams using AI.

We connect repositories, tickets, incidents, docs, and team decisions into a context layer that is current, verifiable, and permission-aware.

Focus

Reliable context before autonomy.

Context audits for existing engineering workflows

Repo, ticket, incident, and team memory

Permission-aware connectors for GitHub, Linear/Jira, Slack, Sentry, and docs

Evals that measure fewer wrong assumptions and safer code changes

Recommendations

Proof from teams we have built with.

Povio, ReneVerse, and Tilt are HILLS Lab work. The other recommendations show the wider engineering track record behind HILLS Lab.

Wider engineering track record

Ericsson Nikola Tesla Founder track record
Curious, proactive, and willing to take responsibility beyond his role early in his career.
Ivica Vidovic Senior Software Engineering Manager, Head of UDM Operations at Ericsson Nikola Tesla; currently board member at Abysalto
Profico Founder track record
Someone we could truly rely on, not afraid to take responsibility and push new initiatives forward.
Rimac Automobili Founder track record
An exceptionally capable engineer whose code was built to last in a highly challenging hypercar telemetry and OTA domain.
Denis Grahovac Engineering Manager at Rimac then; now Director of Software Engineering at Toming

Thesis

Models change. Context remains the work.

The team advantage is not which tool wins this quarter. It is whether the system around the model knows what is true, current, allowed, relevant, and source-backed.

Six checks before the answer

A context layer is not an archive. It has to decide what an agent is allowed to use before the model writes, changes, or recommends anything.

01

Source

Which repo, ticket, incident, document, or decision supports the claim.

02

Freshness

Whether the information is still current or a newer record has replaced it.

03

Permission

Whether this context is allowed for this team, tool, actor, and task.

04

Risk

What could break production, leak data, or lead the agent to a wrong conclusion.

05

Change

What changed since the last run, deploy, incident, or recorded decision.

06

Trace

Whether a person can replay the path: sources, permissions, decision, and result.
