About Merlin
We're building a smarter, safer way to test and develop software with synthetic data that mirrors real-world complexity—without privacy risks.
Our Mission
Merlin empowers software teams to work safely with data—by generating synthetic data that behaves like the real thing but contains no real personal information.
Founded in Norway by two AI engineers with deep expertise in generative modeling, Merlin solves one of the hardest problems in testing: generating safe, scalable, and high-quality test data for complex systems.
Our platform integrates directly with databases, APIs, and local systems to mimic customer-specific data pipelines—delivering data on-demand in the same format teams already use.
Our Values
Innovation
We specialize in generative AI to simulate realistic data flows, enabling cutting-edge solutions without exposing sensitive data.
Privacy
Built for strict regulatory environments like GDPR, our platform runs locally and never moves sensitive data.
Impact
We help businesses reduce costs, accelerate development, and make better decisions through tailored, high-quality synthetic data.
Collaboration
We partner closely with software teams and consultancies to deliver integration-ready, scalable test data systems.
