Tech entrepreneur and educator Martin Warner, who made his name achieving a $50m exit just 17 months after founding the pioneering 3D printing business botObjects, has announced a new venture.
Warner, who divides his time between the UK and the US, has been dubbed “Britain’s Elon Musk” for his innovation across multiple industries, notably in eVTOL (electrical Vertical Take-Off and Landing), where he is a pioneer, developing a prototype “flying taxi”. He is also known as an business educator, having mentored a generation of business owners through his Entrepreneur Seminar program.
Now he is turning his attention to improving business productivity, long regarded as the British disease. Warner believes the next big tech wave will be the revolution in human productivity because AI gives us a unique opportunity to organise our lives with minimum effort for maximum value, defining and measuring our hourly output and creating more time capacity.
He is launching warpSpeed, a productivity app designed for small businesses and consumers, giving its users access to unprecedented AI power straight from their smartphone device. Leveraging the power of over 100 integrated AI services, it will integrate with other everyday apps on a smartphone to organise, analyse and streamline existing data.
It constantly learns about the user, understanding how they engage with their daily apps and tools. As it learns more, it takes on autonomous functionality, making decisions, offering suggestions, undertaking multi-step tasks, to deliver unprecedented productivity for the user.
warpSpeed is powered by its own proprietary Vertical Large Language Model, and accesses industry Large Language Models while delivering a highly advanced AI Agent as the user’s partner.
Key features of the app include:
- Multi-dimensional calendar – the world’s most advanced calendar, providing real-time updates and pulling data from existing apps to autonomously plan schedules and daily routines
- AI notes – a sophisticated tagging and organisation tool which turns rough notes into structured, action-driven lists and summaries that can undertake tasks
- AI suggestions – streamline daily activities with relevant tips and suggestions from the app as it learns more about the user’s behaviour
- AI assistance and task implementation – users can ask warpSpeed how to better improve their productivity, ways of working and daily routine. It can then automatically implement multi-step tasks on behalf of the user – a ground-breaking feature in the app
“People are well aware of AI, and have seen the potential of chatbots and large language models, but despite its various use cases in different industries, AI’s full potential has not yet been leveraged in the everyday,” said Warner.
“Part of this is due to the technical challenge of how to use AI to its full potential. This is what makes warpSpeed unique – it takes all the complexity out of the equation and makes a giant leap in productivity available for everyone.
Once an AI agent can do tasks without our knowledge and with 100% reliability, we will be in an era where speed is no longer a meaningful measurement. The productivity revolution will be complete. The challenge will be how we partner with AI; how we police its applications; and how we live with its consequences”.
warpseed is in its final testing stages and is expected to launch in the first quarter of 2025.
