Putting Conversations to Work

Communities possess vast reservoirs of knowledge that are often lost when meetings end, lectures conclude, research projects are completed, or generations pass on.

The Smartacus Story Accelerator is our effort to change that.

We bring together storytellers, historians, civic organizations, researchers, educators, and community leaders to explore how artificial intelligence can help mine, organize, and share the knowledge of experts.

Rather than replacing human expertise, we use AI to amplify it—helping transform conversations, archives, interviews, and research collections into stories, audio tours, podcasts, educational resources, and other forms of public learning.
