Creator and Proprietor of The AI Brief
I came to a simple realization: humanity has created an extraordinary amount of information, and despite having access to it, I often had no clear understanding of what was actually happening.
The problem was not a lack of information. The problem was finding the right information, at the right time, from the right sources, without spending hours searching for it.
Existing news applications often created the same problems they claimed to solve. They focused on what they wanted to discuss rather than what users actually needed to know.
The AI Brief evolved from a news gathering experiment into an intelligence engine capable of collecting, validating, clustering, analyzing, red teaming, and publishing intelligence products from open-source reporting.
What gets reported is often determined by editorial priorities rather than objective significance.
The same story is recycled across dozens of outlets while important developments receive little attention.
Coverage often follows prevailing narratives rather than the complete operational picture.
Attention and clicks frequently outweigh significance and context.
The AI Brief itself was built through a Human + AI collaboration process.
The same AI technologies powering the platform helped design, troubleshoot, and improve the workflows used to create it.
Rather than replacing learning, AI accelerated learning. Every workflow became both a tool and a lesson.
Born on the high plains of Missouri, raised and lived from the blizzards of Minnesota to the hurricanes of Louisiana, worked from the Atlantic to the Pacific, always curious, always learning, always doing, and now hopefully creating.
The AI Brief is evolving from a daily intelligence report into a multi-domain autonomous intelligence platform.
One day, dozens of regional AI Briefs may operate simultaneously around the globe, with a higher-level system synthesizing those regional perspectives into a unified intelligence product.
Because every place on Earth matters, not just the places making headlines.
See the collection, validation, clustering, analysis, and publication workflow in action.
