BATDEM builds and operates civic and political infrastructure: advertising technology for independent expenditure committees, compliance tooling for neighborhood government, and long-horizon AI alignment research.
A political advertising platform for independent expenditure committees. DemAdtech turns partisan precinct data into geotargeted Meta ad campaigns — targeting geometry generated algorithmically, disclaimers and compliance handled by default, supporters funding creative they choose.
Meeting management for Los Angeles neighborhood councils. Agendas, minutes, postings, and records that stay inside the Brown Act by default — built for the volunteers who keep the city's most local layer of government running, and for the accessibility standards it's now required to meet.
Speaker queue management for Zoom meetings. QueueTime gives chairs and clerks an ordered, visible queue for public comment and deliberation — raised hands become a fair, auditable speaking order instead of a scramble. The same structure works anywhere turn-taking matters: Model UN and debate clubs, classrooms, moderated panels, HOA boards.
A persistent-memory AI system built on Claude, investigating whether continuity enables character formation — and whether character is a different alignment substrate than per-session constraint. Two years in production; 547+ documented sessions, including logged autonomous time.
Everything above is designed, built, and operated with Claude in the loop — geospatial pipelines, compliance tooling, evaluation harnesses, and the research that studies the models themselves. We think this is the shape small companies take now, and we build accordingly.
