Five things that separate AI projects that reach production from the ones that stay on a slide. https://impulselab.org/blog/voice-ai-in-the-field.html https://impulselab.org/blog/voice-ai-in-the-field.html Fri, 23 Oct 2026 09:00:00 +0000 Voice AI Some audiences don't answer email or fill in forms — they pick up the phone. What we learned building a voice AI robot that holds natural conversations with farmers and hands organizers only the leads that matter. https://impulselab.org/blog/documents-to-catalog.html https://impulselab.org/blog/documents-to-catalog.html Fri, 16 Oct 2026 09:00:00 +0000 LLM · Data How we use language models to turn hundreds of pages of technical documentation into a structured product catalog — and why engineers stay in the loop for every description. https://impulselab.org/blog/cv-on-existing-cameras.html https://impulselab.org/blog/cv-on-existing-cameras.html Fri, 09 Oct 2026 09:00:00 +0000 Computer vision You rarely need new hardware to put computer vision into a working process. What ordinary CCTV and phone cameras can do, where they fall short, and how to design the alerts people will actually read. https://impulselab.org/blog/where-ai-pays-back.html https://impulselab.org/blog/where-ai-pays-back.html Fri, 02 Oct 2026 09:00:00 +0000 Strategy Most AI projects that disappoint were chosen badly, not built badly. A seven-question checklist for picking a process where a model returns its cost in 6–12 months.
