SELECTED SYSTEMS & PROTOTYPES

What we build, in our own words.

A small portfolio of internal systems and prototypes — not client work. These are the patterns and capabilities we bring into every engagement.

These projects are built and operated by Unlocked Consulting as internal R&D. They are not case studies of client engagements. We do not display client logos or testimonials we cannot back up.

CONTENT PIPELINE

AI Content Automation System

  • Status Production
  • Stack Python, multi-LLM orchestration, scheduled pipelines
  • Demonstrates End-to-end content generation with human review gates

A system that takes long-form source material — transcripts, documents, notes — and produces multi-format content automatically: articles, short-form video scripts, social posts. The pipeline runs on a schedule, not on demand, so the content operation doesn't require manual triggering for each piece.

Built around human review checkpoints rather than fully autonomous publishing. The model is "AI does the bulk, human approves the gate" — which turns out to scale across nearly every content workflow we've seen. The interesting engineering is in the orchestration and the handoff surface, not the prompts.

Demonstrates a pattern we bring into any content-heavy engagement: the ability to connect a source of truth to a downstream publishing workflow with appropriate human control points, built to handle volume without requiring proportional headcount.

CONSUMER SAAS

AI Language Learning Platform

  • Status Production
  • Stack Astro frontend, Cloudflare backend, multi-modal LLMs
  • Demonstrates Production-grade consumer AI app with real users

A production language-learning application using LLMs for adaptive lessons, conversational practice, pronunciation feedback, and personalized curriculum. Not a wrapper around a chat API — a structured learning system where the AI adapts to learner performance across sessions and surfaces gaps in a way that a fixed curriculum cannot.

The system handles auth, billing, accessibility, and performance at consumer scale. We built this because it forced us to validate patterns that proprietary enterprise tools often skip: real user sessions at unpredictable rates, aggressive latency requirements, mobile-first layout decisions, and graceful degradation when model APIs are slow.

Demonstrates the ability to ship a real consumer-facing AI product end-to-end — including the parts no one puts in a demo: error handling, fallback behavior, cost optimization under real usage, and the operational posture required to keep it running reliably.

ENTERPRISE SAAS

Digital Signature Platform

  • Status Production
  • Stack Custom enterprise stack, EU compliance-aware
  • Demonstrates Enterprise-grade software architecture without AI hype

A digital signature platform built for European compliance requirements. Not an AI project on its surface — but an important entry in this portfolio because it demonstrates that we ship serious enterprise software, not just AI prototypes bolted together for a demo.

The architecture handles audit trails, document integrity, identity verification, and regulatory compliance for business-critical workflows. These are not problems you solve with good prompts. They require correct engineering, security review, and operational maturity.

The infrastructure and security posture behind this platform directly inform how we approach AI systems for enterprise clients. When we build an AI automation for a regulated workflow, the baseline is here — not in a weekend hackathon project.

KNOWLEDGE SYSTEM

AI Knowledge Base for a Company

  • Status Production
  • Stack Custom RAG, vector store, Slack integration
  • Demonstrates Custom knowledge system replacing wiki and docs sprawl

A knowledge base built for an internal use case — ingesting documents, processes, decisions, and historical conversations, surfaced via a chat interface inside Slack. The system answers questions in plain language, cites the source documents behind each answer, and explicitly says when it doesn't know rather than guessing plausibly.

The interesting problems here are in the ingestion pipeline, not the query interface. Different document formats, inconsistent metadata, overlapping content, and content that goes stale — all of it requires deliberate design decisions about chunking strategy, retrieval ranking, and how to surface contradictions or outdated content without confusing the user.

Demonstrates the RAG pattern at the heart of the AI Knowledge Base service: ingestion pipeline, retrieval tuning, citation, and integration with where teams actually work. The Slack surface is intentional — we built it there because that's where the questions get asked, not because it was the path of least resistance.

LEARNING SYSTEM

AI-Powered Training Platform

  • Status Production
  • Stack Custom course delivery, AI-assisted assessment
  • Demonstrates Structured digital learning at scale

A platform for delivering structured digital training — courses, modules, assessments, completion tracking. Built to host both human-authored and AI-augmented content, with assessment logic that adapts to learner performance rather than presenting fixed question sets in sequence.

The design principle here is that AI should be invisible to the learner — the experience should feel like a well-designed course, not like a chatbot. The AI logic lives in the assessment engine, the gap identification, and the content sequencing, not in the interface.

Demonstrates the infrastructure pattern for any "deliver structured learning" use case: internal team training, customer education, certification programs. The underlying platform is the same; only the content and assessment rules change for each use case.

MEDIA PIPELINE

AI Training Video Generation Platform

  • Status In active development
  • Stack Browser capture, multi-LLM, video generation pipeline
  • Demonstrates Automated production of training media from raw inputs

A platform for generating training videos from raw inputs — browser captures, written instructions, or existing documentation. The system stitches together narrated walkthroughs, captions, and edits without requiring a video production team or a recording setup.

The core problem it solves is maintenance cost, not initial production cost. Training videos become outdated every time a UI or process changes. A system that regenerates from the source brief rather than requiring a re-record changes the economics of keeping training media current.

Demonstrates a pattern for any team that produces internal training media at volume: the pipeline replaces most of the production cost with a structured brief-to-output workflow, then keeps output current without proportional effort when the underlying content changes.

CREATIVE TOOLING

AI Digital Product Generation Platform

  • Status In active development
  • Stack Multi-modal LLMs, image generation, structured output pipelines
  • Demonstrates Templated creative production with embedded prompts

A platform that generates structured digital products — illustrated books, sticker packs, posters, activity books — from high-level inputs, with prompt patterns embedded into the workflow rather than exposed to the operator. The system handles format assembly, style consistency, and output packaging automatically.

The design challenge here is that "generate creative content" is vague in a way that makes most AI pipelines inconsistent. The interesting work is in constraining the generation space so that output is consistent and on-brand without requiring the operator to be a prompt engineer.

The creative production pattern applies far beyond the consumer use case. The same approach — templated generation with embedded domain knowledge — works for internal marketing assets, sales collateral, training materials, and branded templates at any volume.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR PROJECT

These aren't case studies. They're capabilities.

These are systems we built with our own time, on our own stack, to validate patterns we then bring into engagements. Not theoretical architecture. Not slides about what "could" be built. Running systems with real operational experience behind them.

When we propose an architecture for a client automation, it's because we've shipped something structurally similar ourselves first. The patterns are proven before they're proposed.
