From a gallery floor to the meeting room
Tellme started as an AI guide for museums: point your phone at an object and ask it anything, with a self-service kiosk that sells access unattended. I designed the architecture and built much of it myself, from the mobile web app to the kiosks in the field.
Now we are taking what we learned into meetings. Troopa is an AI teammate that takes part in your calls instead of just taking notes: ask it something mid-meeting and the answer is on screen while you are still talking, it builds the board as people plan, and it writes the notes when you hang up. More gets done in the meeting, and less after it.
