The story

Some of these reached the market as MVPs and quickly failed; others were experiments to validate a business idea.

The experiments

  • Personal AI assistant (2017): calendar, contacts and a hub for personal connections. Too early.
  • Voice assistant (2016): an AI voice assistant for banking, pitched to financial institutions years before LLMs.
  • Orion (2016): internal tooling and dashboards for the Bunz team.
  • Catch (2016): a video-only local social app. Storage costs would have been astronomical.
  • Minimal notes (2015): a macOS notes app, built to learn Swift.
