Let's see Paul Allen's portfolio
Palantir but Agentic, Non-Technical, and Instant to Deploy. A supply chain analyst who lives in your browser, our Agent uses a Semantic Metamap to track gigabytes of data to model ripple effects from upsets in Guangzhou to inventory rerouting in Berlin months downstream.
Our Agent creates beautiful visualizations using ReCharts, creates complex models with DBT, and uses MCP based tools to configure recurring analysis pipelines. All configurable with natural language.
Fleshing it out during some insane all-nighters with Arjun. See our product video & follow along here.
The best part about being a CEO are the secretaries, we built a CoT Voice Agent so you can have one too. You just tell Heather what you want to do, and she'll sync with your Google Calendar and use ILP heuristics to make everything fit into your 24 hours (scheduling is NP-hard 😭).
The coolest part about Heather isn't scheduling, it's rescheduling she'll dynamically manage goals like hitting the gym or laundry around your commitments. Was super fun building this with Anirudh and Alex at TreeHacks '24.
A non-profit pop-up restaurant that I started with Tarun - we took the idea of Indian street food stalls and brought it to UMD. Turns out, live dosa was popular enough to block traffic even!
My favorite thing I did during college, we built a community of 40 volunteers to serve over 1000+ customers. They're still active, serving whole meals for $5 and spreading culture on campus.
Recruiting is hard, good recruiters make it easy. So we built a public database for the best recruiters - like RateMyProfessor but for recruiting - we point you to the right person to get you into the role for you. Pushed it out with Aditya.
A real time Conversation Coach that lives in an AirPod. Uses tonal analysis + content-based LLM routing to give you minimally intrusive feedback with a 15 second latency. Also gives extended analysis for afterwards.
Basically, a friend who's always there to pull you aside and say "hey, read the room" before you say an off-color joke. Hacked on this with Varun, Tarun, and Jacob.
Some other fun stuff I worked onOptifocal - A CV app, you can stick your phone on your dashboard while driving and it tracks how you're paying attention on the road.
PedaGuide - LLMs are bad at math, but they're good at writing code to do math, so what about an agentic personal tutor who outsources arithmetic to Python? OpenAI beat us to the punch on this lmao.
Terrapins Only - A dating app exclusively for UMD students, we got 400+ sign-ups before we decided not to continue due to ethical concerns about dating apps.
MILL - MIPS Intermediary Logic Language, a functional programming language that compiles to MIPS, helped me get through my systems programming class.
