AI & Robotics
Roboty
Building the future of robotics by making robots easier to teach, use, and improve.
Applied AI & robotics lab.
I'm Gabe Mays. I build products, prototypes, and experiments to understand what AI and robotics can do.
My investing funds the lab. What I learn here informs how I invest.
Selected projects
Products, prototypes, and experiments across robotics, software, and AI.
Math practice
Mathy
A math practice app that uses spaced repetition to strengthen recall of concepts you've already learned.
Habit tracking
Main Character Habit Tracker
A habit tracker I built for myself after years of trying other apps, focused on making progress without turning tracking into another job.
Prototype
Maintenance Control AI
A prototype exploring voice-first access to aviation maintenance publications, with source-cited answers across phone, web, and wearable interfaces.
Open source
AlignTrue
An experimental reference architecture for auditable AI systems, with replayable state and governed actions.
Open source
GlassAlpha
A toolkit for inspecting machine-learning models and producing reproducible reports on fairness, explainability, calibration, and robustness.
Investing funds the lab. The lab informs the investing.
I fund the lab through my own investing. That gives me the freedom to choose projects for what I can learn and build, rather than for client work.
Working directly with AI and robotics gives me firsthand context on capabilities, limitations, bottlenecks, and adoption. Those lessons feed back into how I evaluate companies and investment ideas.
More on my investingAbout Gabe
Dad. Husband. Builder. Investor. Optimist.
I started out as a Marine Corps officer, including deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. I later founded startups and led product teams at a public technology company. These days, I spend my time building, researching AI and robotics, and investing.
