It’s crazy that B2B SaaS companies use more AI than our law enforcement and military. @grdysun & @thejustinoh dropped out of Stanford to change that.
Lakonia (@LakoniaTech) is an AI-powered command and control platform for law enforcement and the military.
It transcribes radio communications, analyzes them, and then synthesizes information for commanders/dispatchers and operators to act on.

“Ukraine barely has a navy and has taken out 35% of Russia’s Black Sea fleet. Ukraine’s strikes deep into Russia have destroyed as much as 27% of Russian refining capacity. Operation Spiderweb took out $7 billion in Russian aircraft at four air bases with $100,000 in Ukrainian drones. When given information like this, half of Republicans recognize Ukraine is winning, and 85% of them favor military aid to Ukraine.” https://t.co/M3dn54AT98
