● Read ~/adam-bell/profile.md
Two decades of innovation + operations in media. Now building with AI.
I spent 20+ years running editorial operations at Hearst, Condé Nast, and my own companies — managing teams, budgets, partnerships, and product launches at organizations where scale and complexity are the default. I founded VoiceNative, a voice and audio strategy consultancy, and created Hearst's Editorial Voice Products division from scratch.
Now I build AI systems across healthcare, personal productivity, investment analysis, and autonomous systems research. Not demos — + production systems that work

doris // personal AI
A voice-first personal AI assistant that learns who you are. Doris maintains 4,000+ persistent memories using semantic embeddings and vector search for contextual retrieval — surfacing the right context at the right time based on what you're actually talking about, not keyword matching. Twelve autonomous scouts monitor your calendar, email, weather, and home systems, acting proactively before you ask.
terryann.ai // healthcare
A healthcare marketing intelligence platform built on the principle that AI should never make up numbers. Ingests 78+ real-world data points per market from Census, CDC, and CMS Medicare sources to build synthetic cohorts of 5,000+ patient personas, then runs Monte Carlo simulations to predict campaign performance with confidence intervals — before a dollar is spent.
intelligence-brief // AI news
A contextual AI news aggregator that knows what you're working on. Instead of static keyword feeds, it pulls topics from your recent conversations and active projects, then scrapes podcasts, Reddit, arXiv, Substack, Hacker News, GitHub Trending, and mainstream news — analyzing each item for personal relevance before composing a narrative daily brief.
pitch-deck-analyzer // investment
An AI due diligence engine that does in 90 seconds what takes an analyst a week. Extracts structured intelligence from pitch decks using dual AI extraction, then fact-checks every claim through web research, verifies team credentials, discovers undisclosed competitors, and generates a scored investment report — with knockout triggers that cap scores when fabrication is detected.
sentinel // research
A research project exploring why every monitoring system in computing is just watchers watching watchers all the way down. Investigating biological models of self-awareness — proprioception, homeostasis, the immune system — as alternatives to the industry's heartbeat patterns, with applications across autonomous agents, robotics, and distributed systems.
