The raven who remembers
In Norse mythology, Odin has two ravens: Huginn, thought, and Muninn, memory or mind. They fly over the world each morning and return to his shoulders each evening to report what they have seen. In the poem, Odin fears losing Huginn, but fears losing Muninn even more.
Norse sailors also used ravens to navigate. When Flóki Vilgerðarson searched for the land in the north, he brought three ravens and released them one at a time. The third flew ahead and never returned. He followed it to Iceland and became known as Hrafna-Flóki, Flóki of the Ravens.
Why the agent is called Muninn
A business’s email holds its memory. Quotes, promises, questions and invoices are scattered across its inboxes. Muninn reviews them every day and reports which cases need your attention, which are waiting for replies and which have been left too long.
We built Muninn for ourselves. With several companies and a dozen addresses, we needed help monitoring email and preparing the work, while keeping the decisions in our hands.
How we build Muninn
- Order gives you a clearer view. An organized inbox makes it easier to see what is happening in the business and think clearly.
- Email is stored locally. Muninn runs on your computer. AI reads only the text a task needs, through zero-data-retention providers or on your hardware.
- You approve actions. Muninn makes proposals. Actions that affect the outside world require your approval.
- Clear product status. We explain what works today and what remains to be done.
