Utah Tech Labs / Applied

See what happens when technology meets the real world.

Go inside the workflows, systems and engineering behind AI that actually does the work.

Demonstrations, technical walkthroughs, product builds and conversations from teams working hands-on across operations, AI, data, software and connected systems.

Our collections

Eight ways into the work.

Collections are editorial, not filters. Each one follows a thread through implementation, from the agent doing the work to the infrastructure keeping it up.

Freight yard with containers staged for outbound loads
Walkthrough/Logistics/14 min

How an exception agent handles a shipment before a human gets involved

A late carrier ping, a missed appointment and a customer promise at risk. We follow the agent from signal to resolution, and the point where it stops and asks.

Open >
Construction documents and measurements on a working desk
Demo/Construction/18 min

What happens between a construction plan upload and an AI takeoff

Sheet ingestion, scale detection, symbol recognition and the review step estimators actually trust. A run through the pre-construction pipeline end to end.

Open >
Data pipeline architecture sketched across a wall of notes
Deep dive/Cross industry/22 min

Why the data layer comes before the agent

The most common reason an agent pilot stalls is not the model. It is that no system can answer, reliably, what is true right now.

Open >
Field service dispatch board with technician assignments
Walkthrough/Field service/16 min

What an AI-first dispatch workflow actually looks like

Intake, triage, scheduling and the follow-up, with software making the first move and the dispatcher handling only what deserves attention.

Open >
Engineers reviewing a deployment pipeline on screen
Deep dive/Cross industry/20 min

How we move a custom model from training to a production API

Dataset versioning, evaluation gates, packaging and the serving path, the part of model work that decides whether it survives contact with production.

Open >
Connected industrial device with instrumentation attached
Explainer/Energy/17 min

How device telemetry becomes an operational action

From a signal on a device to a work order someone acts on, including the edge decisions that never should reach the cloud.

Open >
Camera inspecting components moving along a production line
Demo/Manufacturing/13 min

Reading a part number on a moving line, and what breaks first

Lighting, capture, model and the traceability record. A computer vision demonstration on the conditions a plant actually has.

Open >
Development team reviewing an application architecture
Engineering conversation/Cross industry/24 min

How a large AI-assisted application goes from design to production

The compressed build path: what AI assistance genuinely accelerates, what it does not, and the controls that keep speed from costing you the codebase.

Open >
Workflow diagram showing automated and human review steps
Engineering conversation/Cross industry/19 min

Deciding what an agent is allowed to do on its own

A practical model for authority, review and audit, and how teams widen an agent's scope without losing the ability to explain a decision.

Open >
Operator working with an assistant embedded in a business system
Walkthrough/Cross industry/15 min

Building a custom GPT that carries a role, not a chat window

Scoping the job, wiring the sources, constraining the answers and putting the assistant where the work already happens.

Open >
Infrastructure diagram displayed across engineering monitors
Deep dive/Cross industry/21 min

The cloud architecture behind an AI system that has to stay up

Environments, secrets, failure handling and cost control for AI workloads that are now part of an operation rather than an experiment.

Open >
Session recording setup for a technical briefing
Session/Cross industry/34 min

The first two weeks of a forward deployed engagement

A session on what our engineers do before writing anything: watching the operation, mapping the workflow and finding the decision worth automating.

Applied, in your operation

Bring us the workflow you would rather not run by hand.

Everything here started as an implementation. If one of these looks close to your operation, the engineer who built it can walk your team through it.
