Independent AI
engineering
and research.
We develop voice and interactive AI systems and conduct research into brain-inspired computing. Our team brings together engineering, product development, and neuroscience.
Capabilities and research.
Commercial development and exploratory research, with a practical approach to both.
Voice & interactive AI
Speech generation, licensed voice models, and conversational systems that make information more natural to access and use.
- Speech synthesis & voice transformation
- Custom licensed voice models
- Knowledge-connected interactions
Adaptive & brain-inspired AI
Exploring how biological computation can inform systems that interpret changing conditions and respond to feedback.
- Spiking neural networks
- Perception & adaptive behavior
- Simulation-based evaluation
Technology in use.
Our voice systems grew out of production requirements and now serve paying customers. We develop the models, interfaces, and integrations needed to connect that technology to practical workflows.
Open the voice portal ↗Natural communication
Expressive speech and interactive experiences shaped by the nuance of human communication.
Accessible knowledge
Conversational access to curated information, with content and interaction designed around the application.
Integration
Collaboration with partners to connect models and interfaces to practical workflows.
Research into adaptive systems.
We study brain-inspired models, including spiking neural networks, to explore how systems perceive change, learn from feedback, and adapt their behavior.
The work is experimental. We evaluate models in simulation and are exploring potential applications in autonomy, aerospace, and other complex environments.
Engineering approach.
In-house development.
We develop core models in-house and work across the interfaces, data, and workflows around them.
Controlled evaluation.
We test under defined conditions, compare approaches, and change direction when the evidence calls for it.
Responsible use.
We consider data rights and intended use from the outset. Our voice work is based on consent and licensed likenesses.
The founding team.
Our backgrounds span engineering, production, and neuroscience. We bring those perspectives to the same table.
Rob Shore
Co-founder & CEORob is an entrepreneur and engineer with 15 years of experience connecting technology with creative problem-solving. He brings a practitioner’s perspective to AI: identifying useful applications, questioning assumptions, and bringing people together to turn ambitious ideas into working products. At Dialogger, he combines that hands-on approach with the commercial vision to connect emerging research with real-world needs.
Jack Payne, PhD
Co-founder & Chief Technology OfficerJack combines a background in neuroscience with experience applying machine learning and AI across manufacturing, fashion, and marketing. He brings a scientific perspective to engineering, connecting ideas about biological intelligence with practical model development. At Dialogger, his work spans commercial AI technology and research into brain-inspired systems.
Jessie Shapiro
Co-founder & Chief Product OfficerJessie brings 15 years of post-production experience across dialogue editing, coordination, and sound supervision. His work on demanding film and television productions informs a practical approach to product development: understanding the workflow, recognizing where tools fall short, and making complex technology useful to the people working with it.
