GENE: Generative Engine for New Experiences
BCGBoston Consulting Group. Featured in Forbes, Eye on AI, BCG.com.
Created a real-time conversational AI that co-hosts BCG's "Imagine This" podcast alongside human hosts. GENE engages in live, unscripted conversation about the future of business and technology. Built on GPT-4o with custom tuning. OpenAI for speech-to-text. ElevenLabs for voice synthesis with a deliberately synthetic timbre. Two variants share a core but load specialized personality layers at runtime: Podcast GENE for live co-hosting, Audiobook GENE for long-form content. Evolved from a podcast co-host into a client engagement and content creation platform. Auto-generates show notes and article summaries with 3x the citation depth of standard tools.
AI Vision Prototype
Client EngagementEnterprise SaaS. Executive stakeholders.
The client asked for a video. What they actually needed was an interactive prototype. Built a voice-synced animated experience that looks and feels like the client's own product, demonstrating how AI could transform a core workflow. Rehearsal and presentation modes let the presenter control pacing. A video is fixed. This breathes. Custom design system matching the client's product language. Delivered as a self-contained browser experience for C-level review.
AI-Mediated Messaging
Product BuildInternal product.
Full-stack messaging platform where an AI agent sits between participants. Holds conversation context across sessions, mediates communication style, and helps both parties communicate more effectively. SwiftUI native app with Supabase backend. Real-time sync. Gamified development process with Protocol Thunderdome standups.
Interactive Narrative Engine
Product BuildInternal product. Live at livefromhyper.space.
Voice-driven interactive storytelling platform with real-time character AI, procedural art generation, and narrative branching. One AI system plays the director AND all characters. Users interact through voice. Narrative triggers characters, not the other way around. Telegram bot version ran autonomous conversations with real users.
Autonomous Creative Production
R&DInternal product. In development.
Conversation-first motion graphics tool where talk replaces timeline editors. The system generates, self-reviews, and curates creative work during downtime. Users review narrated playback in a screening room paradigm. Four autonomous work queues. Frame-perfect capture. The code is the timeline. The conversation is the editor.
AI Design Consulting Practice
ConsultingActive practice.
Design consulting practice where an AI system is a core team member. Runs daily standups, writes and reviews code, coordinates deliverables across designers and developers, and maintains project memory. The AI doesn't replace the humans. It handles the coordination overhead so the humans can focus on craft.
AI-Generated Video Production
Client EngagementTechnology startup. Under NDA.
Produced a full video using AI-generated visuals. Developed an image generation pipeline with anchor-first methodology for visual consistency across dozens of frames. Model selection rules, prompt architecture, and image chaining workflows. From script to storyboard to final deliverable.
