Applied AI Data Research Lab encoding expertise

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We are building an AI platform that converts specialized human expertise, especially in language and speech data, into machine-readable formats. Our product focuses on capturing and structuring complex, expert-level knowledge from audio and text data for businesses, enabling them to integrate that understanding into workflows and decision-making systems. This is hard because expert knowledge is often tacit and embedded in unstructured speech or data that typical AI systems can't parse effectively.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco and plan to keep the company based there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the best access to AI talent, enterprise customers in tech, and venture capital. Being here puts us close to the center of the AI ecosystem and allows us to move faster in product development and customer acquisition.
