Company Overview (return to top)
Artificial, Inc. is Gordon Kraft's version of garage.com
Artificial, Inc. (Ai) is a Internet Research and Development company funded by its founder, to focus on the
application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to a users internet experience.
AiDigital Library Project:
The internet is dynamically evolving in terms of the users ability to access a sea of incredibily vast
infomation. The result of any research effort by a internet user, ultimately results in some of these questions:
1. "what was the name of that site?"
2. "what was that file name?"
3. "where did I put that stuff?"
4. "where is that video?"
2. 5. "I'm a frequent business traveler, how do I find that document?"
In order to understand the integration of the rapidly evolving internet, one needs to understand the past,
present and future of the computer industry.
AiTechnology Center:
Our AiTechnology Center provides us with the necessary environment for our AiDigital Library Project.
One of many Ai Projects currently underway. Ai is comprised of a staff of "visionaries" that have worked
with our founder for over 20 years.
We build "Artificial Worlds on the Internet".
We will have a AiTechnology Center in StarPower's Dallas Home Entertainment retail stores in Nov. 1999.
Business Description (return to top)
Mission
To provide our customers with a means to easily interact with the internet, and to store their documents and
video content into their AiDigital Library.
Key Goals
To become a major resource for Internet Research for a corporations Board of Directors (BOD).
Stage: beta
What drives you?
I sold my last company DiagSoft, Inc. to Sykes, Inc. (sykes.com) in Aug. 96. retired, bought a Lazzara 76'
motoryacht, bought a APBA Offshore race boat(actually 2), see www.talkstory.com.
I needed something to do. I was too young to be retired and I soon got bored, decided that I would be most
happy as a Chairman of a "Visionary Company" that provided me with the limitless future of Artificial
Intelligence. Which I believe after substantial personal research of all forms of AI, that the internet was the
only commercially viable place to develop AI and sell it in a high volume via a OEM bundling manner that
I am very familar with.
The internet market place has now caught up with our design concepts, so we are building our first high
end demo system to be shown in Dallas in Nov. 1999, the resulting trial will allow us to improve the system
based on the live operation at StarPower.
I am a major investor and on the BOD of StarPower, Inc.
Nathan Morton (CompUSA) is the Chairman of StarPower.
We are a major investor and on the BOD of BroadBand Networks (BBNC.com).

Problem Solved
In todays world of Internet Explosion, most Executive Management and their Board members are seeking a
means to understand the internet's capability. They need to understand the impact the internet has on a
company, as well as what to advise to the company for which they are responsible. Artificial, Inc. is
developing a AiTechnology Center (portable) that can be implemented in a corporate Board Room, as well
as a hotel room, a motorcoach, a yacht, or a Digital Living Room. The AiTech Center can be used by
virtually anyone, and will include the interface of Computers, Home Theaters, and the Internet.
We are implementing the convergence.
Underlying Technology
We have efforted over the past three years to create for an individual their own "think tank" or Digital
Library. The resulting integration of our new AiTechnology Center will provide the user a internet centric
database containing the storage of Adobe .PDF architecture encapsulation of all non-video document types,
as well as entensions via JAVA, Shockwave, Director, to store video in QT4, AVI, MPEG1, MPEG2,
MP3.
We interconnect the Sony VAIO series of PC Desktops to a LAN based Crestron Home Automation
system to interface to the Audio/Video Equipment. The system also has a simple Video on Demand (VOD)
System for the storage and retrieval of the users/corporate videos.
A broadband internet connection is required (ie. cable or better).
We also offer the integration of a Broadband Networks (BBNC.com) MPEG2 Video Network over
corporate ATM or T1 internet connection for remote BOD via full screen full motion high resolution video
(ie. no postcard video).
We implemented a dark cherrywood old English Library in QTVR two years ago, with simple linkage to a
variety of applications, including the usage of ThePalace Chat room technology for a family tree and a
BOD room for private conferences. You will find both video and white boards in that room.
(nonfunctional)
See www.ghklibrary.com
Our founder has built an actual dark cherrywood Old English 850sqft Digital Library in his 9,200sqft home
in Florida as a beta test of the concept. There are 22 T10/100 ethernet connections throughout the home, a
IBM NetFinity 5500 NT Server, a Gateway NT Server, a Linux Server, a SGI NT Workstation, several
Mac's and Sony VAIO's.
The core technology is written in JAVA and C++ developed by Artificial, Inc., interacting with SQL,
Browser, and Crestron. The final version will support Linux, MacOS, WIN2000, NT, Solaris, SGI. We
will then license it and become the deFacto standard. (not our first try at this kind of thing).
Intellectual Properties
4. Standard SQL development in a unique application.
Our founder has previously sold and shipped over 30,000,000 copies of QAPlus PC Diagnostic software in
his last company. He is a veteran of the ROM BIOS market, and has been a Intellectual Property speaker
for ETRE and ATRE conferences.
We are aware of, and are manageing, all intellectual property issues.
Manufacturing Process
We will license our product in an OEM fashion, similar to selling Award ROM BIOS and QAPlus
bundling. We do not intend to offer a retail shrinkwrap version. The product major components will be
delivered on a DVD, and pluggin's are downloadable.
