Project summary
Since 9th grade, I have gathered and submitted intelligence to agencies such as the FBI and Crime Stoppers concerning fugitives. Now, as a rising senior, I want to make my operations more secure and safer as a structured company.
What are this project's goals? How will you achieve them?
I want to further develop Local AI agents, such as Link Analysis Agents, that can catch links, connections, patterns, and inconsistencies that may be difficult to identify manually, without the worry of me working 20hrs/week at my part-time job to do so. Furthermore, I want to make agents such as the Investigation Incident Logger that catches violations of Data Protocols and records them in a tamper-resistant way. This assures that agencies comply with data protocols. I will achieve this by dedicating hours to making these agents. Importantly, these tools will not replace human judgment.
How will this funding be used?
This funding will be used to convert work hours to research hours. If funding exceeds that (I anticipate no more than $10,000 from Manifund), then I will use it for local AI infrastructure and incorporation costs in late 2027. I am more than happy to provide an itemized list to vetted, trusted funders. $60,000 is the highest end that I expect for initial costs and then some.
Who is on your team? What's your track record on similar projects?
I am doing this solo, though I already have working prototypes of these agents built that I want to add more features to, however it has come to the cost of many work hours. I may scale with employees, and I don't see this occurring until 2028, and with significant funds.
How much money have you raised in the last 12 months, and from where?
$0, however, I have applied for grants and non-dilutive funds.
Is this a vigilante effort/PI agency/Surveillance project?
Absolutely not, and I understand why this distinction matters. I have submitted information through the proper channels and have not acted on any information I have gotten. I am not-for-hire. However, I aim to give these AI agents to vetted and appropriate agencies at no cost.
