"What is your logo? Why is it like that?"
Andrew Reiland: "It's a play on Neural Networks. In machine learning, the way we represent how a machine worked through its thinking is called a Neural Network map.
AI nodes (circles) imitate human neurons, AI edges (lines) imitate human synapses."
"Why wouldn't I just simply use ChatGPT?"
Andrew Reiland: "Good question! As someone who has academically studied and built pure ML/RL in the past, I know every piece of what it takes to make a machine learn.
We have multiple testimonials on the exact use case of GPT's and their use in the sensitive domain of mental health. Testimonials continually confirm our reservations with GPTs and their ability to properly serve the user.
As for GPTs, their hallucinations and power needs should concern everyone. Both individually and combined, neither are sustainable nor acceptable for actual unsupervised use in everyday life.
Many newfound AI Experts cannot explain heuristics or the nuts-and-bolts of machine learning. That is very alarming and a big driver to start an ML/RL based company."
"Why start your company in Huntsville, Alabama?"
Andrew Reiland: "Take note of a couple very important pieces:
Huntsville, Alabama's growth
Rocket City, USA is ranked a top city to live in that is growing at a breakneck pace that has a well established engineering presence saturated with government wisdom.
We believe this city in particular is poised for serious continued growth now and for the next 10-20 years, and Reason would like to be a contributor to that growth.
Reason's Strong Alabama Legal Team & Advisory Board
Between our CLO, our Board of Advisors, and everyone they know in the State of Alabama, we are well versed in Alabama law.
"Why philosophy / mental health? Doesn't that seem too broad?"
Andrew Reiland: "We have a never before seen method that deconstructs and discretely relates the building blocks of virtue ethics for each person's individual journey through life into machine learning optimized by mathematics.
Newly illuminated relationships unlock never before seen insights and unprecedented capabilities to end users.
In our very short time as a company, analytics show we already have interest from the most populated cities of the United States, and even some from around the world.
There seems to be equal amounts of excitement for doing AI "the right way" alongside tackling mental health head-on."
"Why aren't you starting small? Why the initial portfolio?
Andrew Reiland: "I've spent fifteen years becoming an expert at building enterprise-scale software solutions in Fortune 500s and successful startups.
I'm no stranger to achieving success as a leader with limited resources while aiming for dynamic targets in a set timeframe.
I bring a unique expertise and experience in the world of software development. I have a great understanding and respect of what should be achieved early and correctly to avoid any costly missteps as a software company while achieving sustained growth in ARR, MAUs, and feature offerings.
My breadth of software experience supported domains such as:
Healthcare EMRs
Global Commerce Markets
Construction Management
Human Resources Information Systems
I bring the engineering expertise along with our CTO, and we are surrounded with a team of experts in their organizations."
"Is it agentic?"
Andrew Reiland: "Yes and in a much richer fashion than GPTs.
GPTs are pattern based and inherently do not have traditional AI inputs and outputs, their agents can only feed something into the "black box" GPT and see what comes out the other side. This is where GPT's traceability capabilities ultimately stops.
True ML/RL agents have an entire landscape of inputs and outputs to work with, as there is no "black box" to tiptoe around. This affords an an advanced ability of statistical and mathematical analysis. Every input, function, and decision can be traced with our agents."
