Help Us Build It—or Break It

You don’t have to agree with the Situational AI hypothesis to participate. We are looking for people willing to build it, test it, challenge it and discover its limits.

Researcher

Explore an open question: formalization, recognition, representation, memory, analogy, evaluation.

Professor

Academic collaboration, or student research you would supervise or co-supervise.

Student

Take on a research problem for a semester, a summer, or a thesis.

Engineer

Build recognition, memory, representation or evaluation systems, and publish what worked and what didn’t.

Company

Bring a difficult real-world AI problem where conditions change and recognizing the situation is the hard part.

Technology Organization

Contribute infrastructure, compute, hardware or engineering time.

Research Supporter

Support student research, experiments or gatherings.

Bring Us a Real Situation

Some of the most important research questions emerge from real operational environments. Organizations can collaborate with Mindspace AI and Situational AI researchers around problems involving changing conditions, situation recognition, memory, coordination and intelligent response.

Customer disengagement

A relationship going quiet before anyone has called it a problem.

Document and workflow breakdown

A process that is still “running” while the situation it serves has changed.

Emerging operational risk

Signals that only mean something together, and only for a particular observer.

Changing customer intent

The same words carrying a different situation than they did last week.

Escalation recognition

Knowing when to act, ask, wait, or hand off to a person.

Multi-party coordination

One event, several observers, several situations at once.

Talk With Us

Research or academic collaboration, student research, engineering, an industry problem, a technology contribution, research support, a gathering, or plain curiosity.

Watch the Idea Develop

New essays, experiments, research questions, student work and gatherings. No marketing.
