I build agentic AI for founders who need clarity — and research how GenAI represents the people it claims to serve.

Products I run

Five in production. Each one exists because something annoyed me enough to build the fix.

No. 01live

Inkwell

Private writing companion — AI crafts prompts; you write the answers.

Why

Most “AI journals” write for you. That kills the point of a journal. I wanted a tool that only nudges — prompts shaped to your themes — while the words stay unmistakably yours.

What shipped

Theme-based prompt generation, private accounts, timed and spontaneous nudges. The model never authors the entry.

No. 02live

Council of LLMs

Multiple models deliberate, judge, and consolidate hard questions.

Why

One model on a hard question is a single overconfident voice. I wanted deliberation as a product — propose, judge, consolidate — so disagreement becomes signal instead of noise.

What shipped

Multi-provider completion, judging rounds, and a consolidation step into one answer you can actually inspect.

Prompt Lab

Experiment with prompts, compare models, iterate in one place.

Why

Prompt work usually lives in chat tabs and half-broken scripts. Tiny wording changes matter, and comparing models side-by-side shouldn’t require a new ritual every time.

What shipped

Edit prompts and params, run across models, compare outputs in one loop so iteration stays visible.

Persona Paper Reviewer

Review research through persona-aware lenses for HCI and GenAI work.

Why

HCI and persona papers need reviewers who understand representation risk — not generic “be nicer” feedback. I built PPR to stress manuscripts the way our research actually critiques them.

What shipped

Agentic PDF review, revision validation against prior comments, grep-grounded style checks without a page cap.

No. 05live

PEP

Playground for modeling persona ecosystems — minority views to whole populations.

Why

Personas from scattered research are slow, inconsistent, and easy to stereotype. PEP exists to turn unstructured context into structured persona ecosystems you can probe — including minority views.

What shipped

Ingest research/transcripts, retrieve with vectors, generate and expand persona sets grounded in your own material.

What others say

“Danial possesses very sharp technical knowledge and expertise in AI/ML and backend technologies. What truly sets him apart is his readiness to take on any challenge, his curiosity to learn, and his determination to master new domains, including frontend development, where he made remarkable progress in a short time.”

Elias Merhy
Head of Computational Design, Samsung Design Innovation CenterManaged Danial directly

“Beyond his deep technical mastery, Danial brings a strong sense of collective purpose to every project. He has a natural ability to create alignment within a team — clarifying priorities, helping everyone see the bigger picture, and ensuring that technical decisions serve broader strategic goals.”

“He has a rare ability to understand complex problems quickly, break them down into clear steps, and define the right steps forward in a calm and structured way. Combined with his excellent AI/ML expertise, this often means we reach solid solutions much faster than expected!”

Yasaman Tahouni
Computational Designer, Samsung Design Innovation CenterWorked on the same team

“He is great at connecting people across different teams and locations. Communication was always clear and productive. Danial was also excellent at making cross-functional projects run smoothly and efficiently.”

“Danial is one of the most outstanding people I have ever worked with. His breadth of knowledge is truly remarkable — it's like he is an expert in everything from machine learning engineering to production level software engineering to computational design.”

Maggie Chao
Creative Technologist, Samsung Design Innovation CenterWorked on the same team

“As an AI specialist and Data Scientist, Danial demonstrated exceptional technical expertise and a deep understanding of complex machine learning systems.”

Peng Xu
Chief Technology Officer, i13 Ventures StudioManaged Danial directly

“I could throw anything at Danial and trust he'd deliver. Not perfection — we always made smart trade-offs between what we could ship now versus what could be refined later — but he consistently delivered 80-90% solutions fast enough to keep us moving.”

“Mr. Danial Amin is highly motivated and skilled resource with positive attitude and excellent aptitude. His expertise in Data Science are extra-ordinary. He has delivered his projects and tasks on time. His quality of work is superb.”

“He has good knowledge and understanding of engineering subjects. I have always appreciated his role in the team as a colleague and also as a leader & manager. His dedication and problem-solving attitude make any workplace a nice place to work at.”

Arsalan Khawaja
Ph.D. Candidate, Norwegian University of Science and TechnologyReported directly to Danial

“Mr. Amin is an excellent engineering problem solver, through critical insights and dedicated working potential.”

Build something clear

Founders, labs, and peers — if the problem needs agentic systems, fairer user representations, or a technical partner who argues with the brief before writing code, write to me.
