We had an incredible experience at the AWS + Groundswell Startups AI Hackathon! Tackling a completely new set of challenges was both exciting and rewarding. A huge thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to the vibrant atmosphere of the event. We're humbled and grateful to have won first place, and we deeply appreciate the opportunity to learn from and collaborate with so many talented individuals! ???? #aws #groundswellstartups #velocityexplorations #generativeai

?? We had a blast at SLD45's Data Derby Hackathon last week! Set against the backdrop of innovative challenges and collaborative spirits, we witnessed the power of diversity in thought and expertise. Velocity took home awards for "Most Innovative" and "Best Use of AI" with our groundbreaking project: a discovery interview AI assistant. This tool leverages AI to streamline the interview process, providing real-time, context-aware questions that greatly enhance the depth and quality of conversations and interviews. A huge thank you to Andy J. Wagers, Ph.D. at The Forge for creating such an inspiring environment. It was not just a competition but a celebration of forward-thinking and technological advancement. Shout outs to both Lisa Bongiovanni of Beast Code and Shaun Jones of TrustStack for being great collaborators and competitors! #DataDerbyHackathon #Innovation #ArtificialIntelligence #SpaceLaunchDelta45 #TheForge

I'm excited to announce that I'll be speaking at the MORS Department of the Air Force Data Analytics and AI Forum in Miramar Beach, Florida! Join me for my talk Wednesday, April 4th at 10:10 in the main hall as I explore the delta that exists between off-the-shelf generative AI tools and the end user needs of the warfighter. We'll take a look at how the development and deployment of "Tactical Generative AI" is going to revolutionize how warfighters process data and collaborate.

Join me next week in Arlington, Virginia for the NDIA 2024 Human Systems Conference! Aligning with this year's theme, Next Generation Platforms and the Evolving Role of the Human, I'll be presenting my topic, Advanced Data Processing and the Evolving Role of the Warfighter. I'll be discussing how embedding modern software within existing collaboration tools changes warfighter behavior in operational scenarios.

We are thrilled to introduce Pariss Youngblood as our new Requirements Analyst! Pariss served in the Air Force for 5 years within Security Forces and has a track record of investigating and delivering operational solutions. Having gone through the Supra Coder program, Pariss pairs valuable development knowledge with first-hand warfighter experience, making him an incredibly valuable add to our team. Pariss lives on the Space Coast with his wife and two daughters. Welcome Pariss!

BIG news: We are excited to announce we have been selected for a Phase II SBIR funded at $1,230,000 to deliver Kinetic, our generative-AI enabled Mattermost environment, to Space Force Guardians! This effort will not only deliver a cutting edge operational capability to our warfighters, but will also allow us to investigate a variety of use cases for generative AI within warfighter workflows. As generative AI continues to revolutionize the commercial sector, we're proud to be a part of discovering how this important tool will augment and empower our warfighters. We're committed to helping demonstrate ethical and responsible implementation of generative AI, ensuring Kinetic meets the rigorous demands of security, accuracy, and reliability critical in defense settings. We're thankful for everyone that's supported us on this journey—our incredible team, our partners, and the Space Force for trusting us with this groundbreaking project. Stay tuned for updates on our progress and insights into how Kinetic is shaping the future of operational capabilities. We are eager to continue this journey, harnessing the transformative power of AI for national defense, promising a new era of enhanced operational efficiency and strategic advantage for the Space Force. #AI #SpaceForce #SBIR #DefenseInnovation #GenerativeAI #Mattermost #Kineticchat https://lnkd.in/eb3Uqz-P

Velocity is excited to share that Kinetic, our cutting-edge Mattermost environment, will be participating in ANTX Coastal Trident 2024! This year, we're on a mission to transform decision-making in critical situations through the strategic application of Generative AI, aiming to boost Navy operations and maritime security. Special thanks to Andrew Zigler and John Oliver, RHCE ???? from Mattermost for their support and assistance. Also, a special shout out to REscan who will join us in participating in ANTX Coastal Trident!
