Lithuania’s ‘Happiest Startup’ Tackles AI Transparency Crisis
As August 2026 enforcement approaches for high-risk AI systems, Quokkio asks a direct question: Do you have proof of your AI?
“We’re building the receipt printer for AI decisions,” said founder Adrijonas Leonavičius, who previously developed legal automation tools. “When regulators demand documentation, most companies offer explanations. We offer evidence.”
The Australian quokka famous as the world’s happiest animal embodies the company’s philosophy that compliance infrastructure need not feel punitive. While competitors hide behind corporate stiffness, Quokkio documents its development publicly, merging technical architecture with approachable design.
The platform extracts Chain-of-Thought reasoning from AI models, transforming automated hiring and lending decisions into timestamped, verifiable audit trails. Each rejection or flag generates a cryptographic record of the underlying logic.
“This isn’t about debugging code,” Leonavičius clarified. “It’s about defending your company. Black-box opacity risks €35 million penalties. Documentation provides defensibility.”
Since its soft launch, the company has drawn interest from regional investors and governance specialists anticipating documentation requirements.
“Compliance does not require misery,” noted the quokka CEO. “This Valentine’s season, we prove that transparency can smile.”
