Meet Aidan: the first AI employee that learns how your product works, then runs live sales conversations at scale. It joins your live call, sees your screen, talks with you, and drives a shared browser in real time. Not a recording of an expert walking through a product. The expert.

The hard part was never voice, vision, or computer use alone. It's running them together, continuously, at conversation speed: deciding every moment whether to speak, wait, click, or look again.

Hardest, most fun problem I've worked on.

We're hiring. DMs open.

Every lens leaves a blur signature—a hidden fingerprint in every photo.

In our new #TPAMI paper, we show how to learn it fast (5 mins of capture!) with Lens Blur Fields ✨

With it, we can tell apart ‘identical’ phones by their optics, deblur images, and render realistic blurs.

SGP 2024 registration is live! https://t.co/Ze9wGB7QeH
Register now for early bird pricing, to get a free coffee mug, and to reduce my blood pressure regarding our estimated number of attendees. And, everyone who registers gets this awesome fashionable tote bag!

SGI deadline just passed—good luck to applicants!

We got a record # of applications. The ✨only✨ obstacle in the way of supporting even more students is $$. If you’re in industry and want to promote a brilliant, diverse cohort of Fellows, reach out to chat about sponsoring SGI!

Deadline is tomorrow! I highly recommend this program. It was the best experience I had during undergrad. I connected with amazing people and learned a lot from the tutorials, talks, and projects.

Does your company have some extra funds for outreach left to spend before the end of 2023? If so, I'd suggest sponsoring the Summer Geometry Initiative (https://t.co/o5Xk64Ttwg) or Symposium on Geometry Processing (https://t.co/dSaXEVaski) 2024. Contact me for more information!

[Justin Solomon @JustinMSolomon]

Hi friends! At this point, I've personally contacted 70+ folks and am having a tough time identifying sponsors for these programs (tough year in industry). I need your help! If you have contacts in relevant companies or foundations, please make an intro here or via email. Thanks!

Our SGI 2023 program is nearly halfway complete! Our brilliant students are just beginning to write up blog articles on their work. You can check out a few of the first posts (and monitor for more!) here: https://t.co/DHJxtBn3uA

🚨Attention faculty, researchers, and grad students in geometry and adjacent fields (broadly considered): The Summer Geometry Initiative needs your help!🚨
