Real-time inference

• Lemon — Sub-ms Classification

  Sub-millisecond classification of single items on an FPGA at the edge. An ensemble of five small models — distilled from larger ones — returns a verdict in about 0.4 ms with fixed, non-varying latency. Built for deadlines: defence, trading, driver assistance.

• Tune Search — Retrieval That Critiques Itself

  A query goes in and the machinery answers in the open: hybrid retrieval over a vector space, a self-critique loop that re-searches when it is unsure, and a council of independent voices whose nominations a judge adjudicates. The search engine, opened up.

• FastTalk — 400 ms Voice Interaction

  A spoken-dialogue system that starts answering within a fraction of a second and can be interrupted mid-sentence. Every reply is split between a small fast model that speaks the opener immediately and a context-aware model that streams the substance in behind it.

• MeFirst — The Many Shapes of a Good Interruption

  An interruption engine for voice agents. People overlap each other constantly, and most of the time it helps — a reaction on time, a supplied word, shared laughter. MeFirst reads a turn as it streams and decides, token by token, where a second voice can come in and how.

Document understanding

• The Reading Desk — Anaphoric Extraction

  A structured-extraction engine that reads several documents at once, notices when its draft refers to a document it has not read, resolves that reference by name, follows it, and folds what it recovers back in. Every field traces to the source line it came from. Shown on OpenSciEd curriculum scans.

World modelling

• FNM — A Natural-Law Simulator

  Streaming carries pixels and sound from strong machines to weak ones; FNM does the same for physics. A thin client sends a scene and its materials, a fleet of parallel solvers computes how nature would move it, and the coordinates stream back — rigid bodies, liquids, heat, gases, and reactions, all solved off the device.

• Cities at Full Fidelity

  A real city rebuilt in 3D, building by building, from LiDAR, third-party 3D map data, geodata and on-site photography. Hero buildings by hand, the rest generated, all present and recognisable. Amsterdam and Scheveningen were delivered as VR rides — but the same faithful model serves defense, energy, policing, planning and simulation.

• ARTERY — Crisis Simulation Software

  From a plain-language description of a geopolitical shock, ARTERY forecasts how European freight, energy and dual-use trade reorganize — the new routes, the grey and dark channels, the cleared prices, and the enforcement that chases them. A hybrid of exact optimization and learned models.

• Café Revenue Estimation

  What a café will earn before its lease is signed — estimated from the address, floor plan, and close to a thousand local signals (footfall, transit, demographics, competition, weather). A distribution with reasons, not a point estimate, ranked across a whole city.

• DATK — Counter-drone Synthetic Datasets

  Labelled synthetic data — trajectories, radar returns, swarm telemetry — for battle drones that do not exist yet, so counter-drone models can train against the threat before it is fielded. A deterministic simulation; everything in it is fictional by design.

Game AI

• NarraTree — Free Dialogue, Authored Endings

  A plot engine for AI narrative games. Characters improvise dialogue freely, yet every conversation is steered toward one of a story’s authored endings. The whole reachable story is drawn as a graph the writing team can shape. Games on it are produced by third-party studios.

• Continuum — Lore Reconciliation Engine

  A consistency engine for shared MMORPG worlds. Every player action is a typed change against a versioned world-graph; collisions are reconciled automatically — serialize, merge, fork — so a million quests an hour never break the canon.

Consumer

• Home Chef — Meal Planning as Optimisation

  A household describes itself in plain language; Home Chef returns a week of meals that hits a grocery budget, meets everyone’s calories, respects allergies, stays varied, and wastes little — all at once. Five objectives balanced continuously, not one fixed and the rest left to chance.

• Kohiaido — Private Analytics for Public Places

  Foot traffic, orders, queues and table occupancy for a café, measured from a single counter microphone and the till — no cameras, no stored audio, nothing that could identify a customer. A dashboard fronted by five advisors who read the numbers and say what to do.

• Superbot — The Build, in Five Layers

  A conversational agent that behaves like it has a life of its own between messages: layered characters, a relationship that moves through stages, memory that reaches back months, a simulated daily life, and a review pass on every reply. Thirty systems across five layers. Built with Tadware.

Tooling

• DRWN — Headless Project Management

  A project tool built around an old idea: take the raw input — a customer call, a feedback file — and draft the tasks, owners, and conflicts itself, then answer each question in the project's own vocabulary and the shape that fits. No task board.
