AI that still works on Monday morning.
Most AI projects stall between the demo and daily use. Geoff helps teams cross that gap: finding the process worth changing, building it with the people who will run it, and keeping it safe once it is live.
He takes on a small number of advisory and interim roles each year, where the problem is worth solving well. If that sounds like your team, he would be glad to talk.

We prove it on the hardest case there is: face recognition. In Topshots it runs on your own PC, never in a cloud, and a friend's face is used beyond your own photos only after they have said yes.
Everything else we build works the same way: data is used for the job you gave it, kept where we say for as long as we say, and yours to take away or have deleted. This website sets no cookies and runs no tracking.
