Building and advising at the
intersection of AI and domain expertise.

I'm Robin Hutchinson — operator, CTO, and self-confessed AI obsessive. For 27 years I've paired AI with hard-won domain expertise — software development, commercialization, risk management, offshoring, and building global businesses — to turn complex problems into products that ship.

Boardroom fluency.
Engine-room hands.

I build and operate businesses at the intersection of AI and security — two domains that increasingly define how enterprises manage risk, protect data, and scale technology. Self-confessed AI obsessive.

For the past 27 years I've been a partner at EY, where I've served as CTO and led the commercialisation of the firm's global technology portfolio — platforms, AI, and digital products. I also built and ran the global enterprise risk management program, conducting extensive risk assessments and mitigation planning across the organization. Before EY, I founded and sold a security software company, and earlier still helped build firewall technologies through a startup that was acquired.

I studied AI at the University of Texas back in 1991 — long before the current wave — so the technology side of this work isn't abstract to me. I've been hands-on with it for over three decades.

Work in motion.

A portfolio of products spanning AI, security, and the tools I wished existed.

SaaS · Near launch

Ezsay

Get early access→

Makes your writing sound like you wrote it — not a chatbot. Instead of rewriting your document behind a black box, it analyzes your draft across six dimensions — AI detectability, AI artifacts, writing quality, plagiarism, citations, and tone — and flags every issue in one unified queue for you to accept, reject, or edit yourself. Every flag comes with a "why this matters" explanation, so you don't just fix the draft, you learn to stop writing in AI patterns altogether. It even extracts your citations, verifies the sources exist, and converts between eight academic styles, from APA to Bluebook.
iOS App · Live

Language Match

A native iOS app that connects language learners through swipe-based matching—like dating apps, but for finding conversation partners. Real-time chat with an innovative message interface: swipe right on any message to reveal its translation, swipe left for grammar suggestions and alternative expressions. AI-powered contextual learning that adapts to your proficiency level, with vocabulary tracking and text-to-speech pronunciation guidance.

Desktop App · Live

Liquid Relay

A desktop application for Mac and Windows that moves files, clipboard content, and screenshots instantly between machines—no cables, no cloud uploads, no NAS drives. Built for people who work across multiple computers: cross-platform developers compiling on one OS and testing on another, music producers running multi-machine studios, video editors bouncing projects between Mac and PC, and corporate professionals bridging locked-down work machines with personal ones.

SaaS · Experiment

Project ARC

Keeps enterprise risk and compliance from sprawling across spreadsheets, inboxes, and disconnected trackers. Centralizes legal, privacy, and security regulations into one platform, routing each requirement to the right risk stakeholders across every jurisdiction you operate in. Instead of chasing down who owns what obligation in which region, your compliance team sees the whole map — regulations, owners, and status — in a single source of truth. Built on Next.js, TypeScript, and Prisma for multinational organizations.

SaaS · Internal tool

Soul System

Turns a fuzzy "make me a design system" idea into a prompt Claude Desktop can actually build from. A Brief Collector walks you through a 13-step wizard — vibe, color, modes, rules, components — then outputs a structured prompt that generates a complete design system bundle: CLAUDE.md, DESIGN.md, tokens, per-component specs, and a light/dark mood board. Save components once to a reusable library and pull them into any future project, so each new design system takes 10–15 minutes instead of a day of decisions.

SaaS · Internal tool

Photo Seeder

A local-first tool that turns one reference photo into 36 identity-consistent lifestyle shots of the same person—wine bar, hiking trail, gym, beach, dinner party, café morning—using any image model on OpenRouter. Built to seed profile-driven apps with realistic, varied imagery instead of stock photos or a single stiff headshot. Drop in a face, pick a model, and walk away: results stream live into the browser and land directly in your filesystem. Open source and model-agnostic.

Physical Product · Concept

RIZE

A pocket-sized inhalation device engineered for the seconds that matter. Two breaths deliver a rapid sensory and physiological shift — no caffeine, no stimulants, no digestion lag. Three formulations target different moments: athletic performance, calm transitions, and sharp focus. Effects clear within minutes without elevating heart rate or creating dependency. Not a supplement, not a drink — a state-shift tool for athletes, professionals, and anyone navigating high-pressure transitions.
