Applied Research Lab

Conversational intelligence,
rigorously explored.

We study how conversations work — and build tools to make them work better.

About

What we do

We sit at the intersection of language, cognition, and technology. Our lab develops frameworks and tools that help people and systems communicate with greater clarity, depth, and impact.

How we work

We combine rigorous research with rapid prototyping. Every project starts with a question worth answering and ends with something you can use — a model, a method, or a product.

Why it matters

The quality of any outcome is bounded by the quality of the conversation that produced it. We believe improving conversational intelligence is one of the highest-leverage problems to work on.

Research Areas

01

Dialogue Dynamics

Modeling the structure of productive conversations — turn-taking, repair, alignment, and the mechanics of mutual understanding.

02

Conversational AI

Designing AI systems that don't just respond, but genuinely participate — with context, intent, and adaptability.

03

Applied Listening

Building tools and practices that help teams, leaders, and organizations listen at scale without losing signal.
