Case studies

Applied AI work drawn from ventures Robert has built. Each is described by the problem, the approach, and the outcome. Where specific performance metrics are not published, outcomes are stated qualitatively rather than estimated.

ReadyReport

Co-inventor and builder

Generating structured reports from video with patented technology.

The problem

Frontline teams such as police departments spend significant time turning raw video footage into written, standards-compliant reports. ReadyReport addresses that gap directly.

The approach

An AI pipeline extracts and tracks objects across video frames, models temporal patterns, detects key events, and uses large language models to draft a natural-language narrative and format it to the organization’s required template, with a human review-and-edit step before submission. The underlying method is protected by granted U.S. patent 12,394,202 B2.

The outcome

A working, patent-backed product that shortens the path from footage to a review-ready report while keeping a person in control of the final output.


Afirmity

Builder

Fighting deepfakes for corporations and governments.

The problem

As synthetic media becomes cheap and convincing, organizations need ways to establish whether audio and video can be trusted.

The approach

Afirmity focuses on detection, authentication and provenance for synthetic-media risk: the practical trust problem behind deepfakes, connecting technical signals to the policy decisions organizations have to make.

The outcome

A venture aimed squarely at the trust-and-provenance problem, informed by hands-on work on synthetic-media risk and governance.


PilPoll

Builder

Bringing polling into the era of AI.

The problem

Traditional polling struggles with cost, speed and representativeness. PilPoll explores what modern AI methods change about gathering and interpreting opinion.

The approach

Applying AI techniques to the polling workflow, from collection through interpretation, while staying honest about the methodological limits of the approach.

The outcome

An applied exploration of where AI can and cannot responsibly improve opinion research.
