Co-Create — broad concept to capitally-funded venture
Live at
assetmemory.com
Preformance Building Technologies partnered with Seen to test whether AI could give assets memory — and ship a venture worth funding.
The challenge: Could AI help build solutions that give assets memory? PBT needed to test whether the idea was real enough, sharp enough, and valuable enough to back.
What we built: Twelve-week Co-Create — refined hypothesis, domain-specialised models, cited retrieval, workflows for handover and maintenance, enterprise-grade architecture with customer IP ownership.
The outcome: PBT capitalised Asset Memory as a venture and recruited Seen team members into the product organisation. From broad question to live, capitalised company.
The Outcome
Cultural knowledge → Structured platform → motivation to learn more →
The Tangible Impact: Research Backs Executive AI Literacy
The Variable
Cultural knowledge exists — but remains fragmented.
We grounded the product in user research and shipped iteratively with clear measures for comprehension, retention, and delight.
What started as an idea around identity, representation, and knowledge became a system for capturing and activating cultural intelligence.
A variable became a venture.

Community stories and cultural connections.
In the work

The Intersection
Knowledge becomes visible, accessible, and alive.
The Outcome
