AITKN / AI Tech Knowledge

We build optimization, ML, and applied AI systems — for teams that need them to actually work.

A small practice. Past clients include Respage. We also ship our own products: SkedAI, xTil, and AI Tab Manager. Code is on GitHub where it can be.

Currently open to new engagements
01 / Work

Selected work

Products we ship and engagements we’ve led. We optimize for what matters in production: correctness, latency, and total cost — not novelty.

Product Constraint-based scheduling 2024 — present

SkedAI

A scheduler that respects how people actually work.

A time-management product built on constraint programming. Tasks have priorities, deadlines, dependencies, and energy profiles; SkedAI computes a feasible plan and re-solves as the day changes. Cross-platform: native iOS, Android, and a React Native shared core. The same optimization techniques we deploy for clients power the planner.

Product Browser extension 2026 — MIT

xTil

Extract content. Distill knowledge.

A Chrome extension that summarizes any web page or YouTube video, lets you refine the summary by chat, and exports to Notion or Markdown. Bring-your-own-key across OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, xAI, DeepSeek, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (Ollama, vLLM). Vision support, inline Mermaid diagrams, per-tab state, no backend.

Product Browser extension 2025 — present

AI Tab Manager

Categorize tabs by refindability, not by topic.

Cross-browser extension (Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox, Opera) that classifies tabs as important, useful, or ignore based on how hard they are to find again. Starts with an LLM, then trains a local ML model on your corrections — eventually you can turn the LLM off. Privacy-first: all model inference local.

Knowledge Builder

Structured knowledge, ingested cleanly.

A pipeline we use internally to turn unstructured sources into queryable knowledge — used inside SkedAI and on client engagements. Source is private for now; we share what we’re learning when there’s something worth saying.

02 / Practice

How we engage

Three shapes that actually fit how engagements go. Pricing depends on the work; we’ll quote a number that respects both your budget and the time the problem deserves.

Modes

Embedded engineering — 4 to 12 weeks

We join your team for a defined window and ship. Daily standups, your repo, your stack, our hands. Best when there’s a known model or system to build and you need additional throughput from people who’ve done it before.

Prototype sprints — 1 to 2 weeks

A focused dive to prove or kill an idea before you commit further. You get a working prototype, an honest read on feasibility, and a written recommendation. Good for “is this possible?” or “is this worth doing?”.

Technical advisory — hourly / retainer

Architecture review, hiring help, second opinions on third-party proposals, pre-mortem on a model rollout. For teams that have engineers but want a sharper read before they spend.

03 / About

A small practice that ships things

About

AITKN — short for AI Tech Knowledge — is a small group that builds optimization, machine learning, and applied AI systems. We work on client engagements and on our own products in parallel; the cross-pollination is the point.

On the consulting side, we’ve worked with Respage over a multi-year engagement and with other companies under NDA. On the product side, we ship SkedAI, xTil, and AI Tab Manager. We open-source what we can; the rest stays private until it’s ready to be useful in public.

What we care about: getting models into production, picking the boring solution when it works, and being honest with clients when it doesn’t. We don’t take engagements where AI isn’t the right tool.
