UVA
Business & AI Institute at UVA
Jack and Ali founded BAI to do applied AI work for Charlottesville businesses. The group deployed AI for more than a dozen companies, building software used by over 44,000 people.
Company
Built from applied work, not AI theater.
Amphibian grew out of customer deployments, UVA’s applied AI community, and the belief that useful AI products have to be shaped inside real workflows.
pre.dev
Learning inside agentic engineering
At pre.dev, Jack and Ali worked inside a fast-moving AI startup building self-driving agentic engineering — software that can plan, architect, and build end-to-end applications in the browser. That experience showed them how AI can be meaningfully built into real product workflows.
Amphibian
Specialty AI with domain partners
Amphibian builds specialty AI products with senior practitioners and specialty firms. Our first specialty is insurance and benefits, now in active build with Spherient Advisors through a partnership with Brick Brickley. We’re backed by Alex Zorychta at Not Yet Ventures.
