Hi, I'm Clay Ludwig
August 2022

November 30, 2022
Three months into my degree, I realized what this could mean for the work I was learning to do. So I started experimenting with it.
2023–Present
Late 2023
Increasingly, I was studying for jobs that could soon be automated away. I started looking for what AI couldn't replace.

Things I'm working on
AI-powered onboarding tool for new reporters, built on news archives.
AI that watches and listens to long meetings so reporters don't have to.
A portfolio service for journalists. Still in progress.
