The team behind
TA pilot.

A small, self-funded crew shipping AI tooling for people who live on stage — presenters, teachers, conference moderators, workshop hosts.

What we believe

The best presentation tools disappear. They give the presenter a cockpit — glanceable, keyboard-driven, minimal — and give the audience a low-friction way to participate. Everything else is noise.

We also believe AI should fit into the tab you're already in, not pull you into a new app. That's why TA pilot is a Chrome sidebar: it docks to the right of your slides and travels with you.

Why we build this

Audience participation in live talks is broken. In a room of 200 people, the same three confident attendees ask all the questions. In a classroom, shy students never raise their hand. On a webinar, the chat scrolls past before anyone can read it.

TA pilot exists to fix that. An anonymous QR-scan-to-ask flow, an upvote-sorted queue, inline screenshots, and voice-triggered polls collectively double — sometimes triple — the rate of real participation versus raised-hand Q&A.

Who we are

TA pilot is built by a two-person team with a decade of combined experience in product design, education tooling, and front-end engineering. We're based remotely across Taiwan and California, and we ship together as a small studio.

We keep the team deliberately small. It means we reply to every support email personally. If you ping us about a bug, you're talking to the same people who wrote the code.

How we fund the product

TA pilot is free for every session size. We don't take money from attendees, and we don't up-sell tiers to presenters. The team is self-funded today; the AI costs (OpenRouter for Gemini Flash, Supabase for storage) are paid out of pocket while we figure out the right commercial model.

When we do introduce paid features, they'll be for organizational needs (SSO, team management, export pipelines) — never for core audience engagement. Every presenter should always be able to run a live Q&A for free.
