Future plans for Bobtail
Below you will find an overview of the milestones we have reached so far and how we expect to develop our products in the next few years.
-
Prototyping core functionality
The first phase of development was characterized by developing the initial core product, a completely new algorithm for fully analysing any bitmap image.
This required two important problems to be solved: first mapping out the core features, then mapping out the color transitions and assembling this information into a vector-based graph.
Activities:
- Develop Core Feature extraction algorithm.
Ended when:
- Proof of Concept built.
-
Securing financing
With the primary proof of concept completed, we intend to establish a collaboration with financiers to enable accelerated development on both practical applications and continued R&D to unlock the most powerful applications of the technology.
Activities:
- Establish relationships with potential clients.
- Acquire funding.
Ends when:
- Finance secured.
-
Building to Launch
Bringing the first set of practical applications to market. This includes the set of applications that can be found under the 'Applications' page, category 'Image Quality'. These applications focus around using the results of the feature analysis step to clean up images, improve their level of detail, or to convert them into vector images.
Secondly, this phase will be used to continue developing the core algorithm to unlock the more advanced features: Multi-layer pattern analysis on images.
Activities:
- Bring Image Quality tools to market.
- Develop relationships with potential customers.
- Develop meta-pattern analysis functionality.
Ends when:
- Research and development on meta-pattern analysis complete.
-
Bring advanced functionality to market
This phase is characterized by fully rolling out the majority of practical applications of the Bobtail algorithm.This includes all image quality tooling, as well as bringing advanced image editing tools to market.
We will simultaneously develop applications of the algorithm to empower image-related AI solutions to work more efficiently and cheaply.
Activities:
- Increase market share on image quality tooling.
- Bring advanced image editing tools to market.
- Establish relationships with AI-based companies.
Ends when:
- AI applications developed.
-
Rolling out advanced AI optimizations.
At this point, all of our currently planned features and applications are in the process of being rolled out. We will continue developing new applications of existing technology, as well as work on developing entirely new technologies. In particular, in the direction of AGI.
Activities:
- Continue business development of earlier products.
- Work with AI partners roll out AI applications.
- Long-term R&D to develop further technologies
