Today I just finished a project that took me 7 months to produce for a client.

This company now has an “AI Shadow” for each department head and C level executive.

The local encrypted AI listens in to all that the employee says and said to them and accesses all reports.

Today the CEO called each “AI Shadow” on the phone and got a report. And said it was the best insight he has in 40 years of business.

Next week each “AI Shadow” will be able to contact each other and their respective executives and brainstorm or answer questions.

This is the first known deployment of this type of technology and it was built in my garage.

It is early days but will write more about it as I can.

Blog Summary

• Brian Roemmele’s X post details a pioneering AI project, introducing “AI Shadows” for a company’s department heads and C-level executives, a first-of-its-kind deployment built in his garage over seven months.
• The “AI Shadow” technology, which listens to employee interactions and accesses reports, provided the CEO with unprecedented insights, described as the best in his 40-year career.
• Roemmele’s project aligns with a broader trend of AI integration in workplaces, as a Microsoft and LinkedIn study notes 75% of global knowledge workers already use generative AI, often outside IT governance, a phenomenon termed “Shadow AI.”
• Privacy concerns echo in replies to Roemmele’s post, reflecting ongoing debates about AI surveillance, with IBM research highlighting how AI exacerbates data privacy risks through extensive data collection and analysis.
• The project’s local, encrypted setup avoids cloud storage, addressing some security concerns, a move that contrasts with typical AI deployments and aligns with Enkrypt AI’s focus on secure, compliant AI systems.
• Roemmele’s earlier prediction of a one-person billion-dollar company by 2035, mentioned in a related post, gains context with Midjourney’s $200 million revenue with just 10 employees, showcasing AI’s potential to revolutionize business efficiency.
