AE is made-in-LA, fully bootstrapped (no VC, PE, or other pesky acronyms), and specializing in developing agency-increasing products. Our software engineers and data scientists are expertly cultivated to build and maintain extraordinary products for clients. Here’s where it gets interesting… The proceeds from this client work is channeled into a fascinating array of internal skunkworks projects, some of which themselves are sold, featuring AE-built founders. That’s right, we consult AND incubate. But wait, there’s more! The proceeds of THOSE efforts are channeled in part into the development of the first brain-computer-interface operating system (BCI OS). Our mission is to ensure that when human communication is wholly digitized, the technology increases, rather than inhibits human agency. Our worldwide team of clever, witty, original-thinking super-nerds are passionate about everything from mobile apps, complex data science problems, computer vision, VR, blockchain, and almost anything else challenging and world-altering.

For the past decade, Namecoach has worked with universities, enterprises, and global platforms to help people pronounce names correctly across languages and cultures. And we built the largest verified pronunciation dataset of its kind, combining human recordings, phonetic transcription, and machine learning. We're now building Euphonia (euphonia.namecoach.ai), a pronunciation intelligence platform for voice AI. Voice agents are proliferating, but they all break on the same problem: names and out-of-vocabulary words. A patient relations agent mispronounces a drug name. An enrollment assistant butchers a student name. Voice agents lose trust the moment they get a word wrong, and the TTS providers building these models can't easily fix it. Our pronunciation data, verified by humans across languages for over a decade, is a critical proprietary asset which Euphonia turns into a drop-in pronunciation layer for any voice agent or TTS product. Universities, Fortune 500 enterprises, and major sports organizations rely on us today. We're now building the pronunciation layer voice AI needs tomorrow.
