About

Founder & CEO of veridive. Answer Engine for the Spoken Web. The world's knowledge is increasingly spoken, not written: podcasts, interviews, talks, earnings calls. veridive makes that content searchable, citable, and verifiable down to the exact second. It's an AI knowledge engine for video and audio, multi-model and live. I build AI-native companies as an operator. I work on the product day to day, with 15+ years of running real operations behind me. If you're building in AI, or you live in podcasts and videos, let's talk. ibili@veridive.com

The spoken web — our manifesto

This is what veridive believes, and why it exists. Call it our manifesto.

The most valuable knowledge of our time is no longer being written it's being spoken. The expert who would once have written a paper or a blog post now goes on a podcast, gives a talk, sits for a three-hour interview, or records an explainer. Founders explain their thinking on YouTube. Scientists go deep on podcasts. Investors, doctors, builders and operators say what they really think out loud. We call this vast, growing, mostly-unsearchable body of human knowledge the spoken web and almost none of it is answerable today.

The scale is staggering

  • Hundreds of hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute.

  • By some estimates, YouTube alone carries on the order of billions of spoken words a day the equivalent of many encyclopedias, daily.

  • YouTube is effectively the second-largest search engine in the world, with billions of searches a day.

  • Yet a tiny fraction of videos ever cross even 10,000 views so the vast majority of what's said is, in practice, invisible.
