Boutique AI & emerging technology Studio
Tomorrow's technology, tested, documented and shipped today.
AlienSquad explores AI and emerging technology, connects research with real-world needs, and builds products and digital experiences with small senior teams.
Insight, idea, experience, learning
AlienSquad's Studio
One connected system, from what people need to what we build. Figment brings the evidence, Foundry shapes and builds digital experiences, and our Studio connects the people, craft and learning.
Understand
Figment
Connect search, news, research and consumer conversations. Find meaningful signals and keep the evidence behind each opportunity.
Shape and build
Foundry
Turn insights into focused ideas, blueprints and digital experiences. Start with something small enough to build, use and learn from.
Connect and grow
The Studio
Bring the right people, agents and shared systems together. Carry real outcomes back into the next decision, not another disconnected project.

Tomorrow's Tech
Records collected, reported live
Selected work
Products we've quietly put into the wild.

MyPetConnect
Smart-collar and EEG-driven pet health platform. AI models turn sensor data into early warnings for illness, and connect owners with their vet's care plan.

CallOrPut
A fully autonomous market intelligence platform. 14 specialized AI agents debate signals, structure options trades, and gate risk, with full traceability on every call.

PoliSays
Your policy, in the words you actually use. Upload an insurance policy or contract and Poli explains it in plain English, every answer traced to the exact clause.

PondPilot
Mission control for living water. A crew of specialist agents watches every water parameter, knows every fish, and turns sensor drift into a daily plan owners can actually run.

AskTerpy
Find Georgia medical cannabis strains by how you want to feel, explore terpenes, and decode lab reports. Connect strain discovery with the stores that carry them.

Tomorrow's Tech
Every emerging technology worth tracking, and the century behind it. Snapshots of AI products: versions, pricing history, changelog diffs, the models under the hood, and research lineage back to 1943.

AI Tokenomics
The unit economics of intelligence. A live index of what a token actually costs: three units never mixed, list prices tracked over time, and the real price of a finished job.

The Fizzy Trail
A curated directory of America's soda fountains, ice cream parlors and pop shops, mapped state by state with a stamped passport for the road.

SpeakyTrail
The night has a password. Hand-picked speakeasies, Prohibition survivors, tiki lounges and jazz rooms, mapped, vetted and described room by room.
Services
Small squad. Full stack. Very few meetings.
We embed with your team or run engagements end-to-end. Either way, you get senior operators, not a pyramid of juniors.
AI & emerging tech strategy
Find the right technology for the problem, not the other way around. Research, roadmaps, prototypes and honest advice.
Voice & realtime agents
Low-latency voice, tool use, and conversational UX for consumer and B2B products.
RAG & knowledge systems
Retrieval pipelines, evals, and interfaces for turning messy internal knowledge into a product surface.
Products & digital experiences
End-to-end product work: design, web apps, connected data and AI where it adds value. Shipped in weeks, not quarters.
Evals & observability
So you actually know if your model changes made things better. Regression suites, dashboards, alerting.
Guardrails & safety
Prompt injection, PII handling, output review pipelines. The boring, essential stuff done properly.
