Building AI systems for expert workflows... where hallucination is costly, context is everything, and the professional stays in control. Currently: Eety AI & Personas Dot Work.
"The expert is sitting in front of the laptop... not inside it."
Tabrez Alam · on AI and professional control
CPA Global
A decade leading patent research at CPA Global... deep in IP workflows, prior-art analysis, and prosecution support. Built the domain depth that now powers Eety AI.
Founded · Sold to Cox & Kings
Left CPA Global to build Pluggdd Mobile. Successfully sold to Cox & Kings in 2018. First exit; first proof that building something from scratch and taking it to market was the right path.

IP expertise and data infrastructure combined into AI systems for expert workflows. Eety AI is a patent associate for attorneys. Personas Dot Work is an AI COO for founders.
Two complementary products built on one thesis: expert control is non-negotiable.
Ideas that show up across every venture, every product decision, and every public talk.
AI should augment experts, not replace them. Human judgment and system architecture become more important as code generation gets easier... not less.
Invention modeling, style profiling, decision checkpoints, and verification are not features... they are the product. Generic chatbot behavior is the baseline to beat.
Speed is not the bottleneck in patent drafting... understanding is. The CARE framework: remember context, stay editable, ask before assuming, keep the professional in control.
Maps should tell people when to slow down. Roads should warn them. Verified, real-world data beats synthetic approximation every time.
The patent research background gives Eety credibility generic AI founders don't have. First-hand market understanding is not a differentiator... it is the product.
Founding is execution. Personas exists because founders need operating leverage, not another dashboard. The agent should do the work... not just surface insights.
For close to a decade, I have been writing on LinkedIn. Not for reach, not for an algorithm... though I am not sure that is entirely true. When I started, someone told me it was good for my professional brand and I thought I shall give it a try. Mostly I just needed somewhere to put the things I was noticing. A truck driver who washed his truck at 4 AM in freezing Delhi fog and had more ownership than most corporate managers I have met. A mathematician named Abraham Wald who looked at the wrong data and still got the right answer. A toddler who chose the less experienced nanny over the more qualified one. These were the moments that stayed with me, and writing was how I processed them.
The problem with LinkedIn is that content has a shelf life of roughly 48 hours. An article I wrote in 2018 is practically invisible now. It exists somewhere in the feed but nobody is going to find it by searching, and nobody is going to come back to it. I checked once... an article on survivorship bias that had around 3,000 reads in its first week had gathered maybe 100 more in the six years since. The ideas do not compound. They just disappear.
This archive changes that. Every article here was written by me, on LinkedIn, over the last decade. What AI did was take care of the part I genuinely did not want to do... the HTML formatting, the image sizing, the sitemap entries, the meta tags. The kind of work that is necessary but not meaningful. I was a big surprised, if I am honest, by how quickly it all got done with. Without that help, forty articles would have required forty evenings of copy-pasting and debugging. With it, they just appeared. Formatted, indexed, and accessible to anyone who finds them.
This is what I think technology should do. Not write for you. Not think for you... though I realise that line is harder to define clearly than it sounds, and I am not sure I have got it exactly right. But the boring work, the formatting, the plumbing... yes, take that. Keep the ideas. I am not sure I have fully figured out where this goes. But I did not delete the LinkedIn posts, and now at least they have a permanent home.
Whether it's patents, AI systems, geospatial data, or founder operations... always open to conversations that go somewhere.
