AI/ML-enabled Book Publishing, book marketing, and author tooling solution architect + Smart AI Automation Expert. Self-published author (under pen name--ask). Cloud-based, book-tech software development guru and indie author evangelist. The core IP I developed is around multi-AI platform tools that support ALL major GPT platforms (e.g., OpenAI, Azure AI (various models), Anthropic, Meta Llama, Gemini, Bedrock, Hugging Face (various models), FAL, and others). This allows the purpose-built models, fine-tuned models, and base models to be used in real-time as needed for the best results based on the use case.I build AI-enhanced publishing tools (marketing, publicity, research, editing, and analytics):Creator of MyPubAssist Author Automation App (Self-Publishing, Author Outlining, Author Research, and Editing). I am the creator of AI-augmented IndieBot Author Analytics BOT. I also created the Mastodon Indie Author News BOT. A subset of the solutions I have designed, developed, and implemented are:-AI-enabled audiobook narration using context-based vocal constructs (i.e. prosody, pitch, emphasis, vocal slope etc.)-Fully conversational image-generation chatbots that learn from their mistakes. Including in-painting/out-painting.-Research tools that use advanced content indexing and ML-based web search with GPT-processed web results.-Multi-modal voice/text/mage input/image output, all within the context of a chat thread.-Spech-to-prompt vocal input to communicate with the agents.-High-scale model fine-training infrastructure that processes PDF documents, Videos, HTML results, site content crawling, and image processing at scale to train or refine base GPT models.
