Back to EpisodesPaceSetters: Andrew Moore on Love Lace Building Investigative AI in Pittsburgh That's 100x Faster
Description
Jonathan Kersting of the Pittsburgh Technology Council's TechVibe interviews Andrew Moore of Lovelace AI about why Pittsburgh is a place to "build something that works" versus the Bay Area's "big splash." Moore explains Lovelace AI's name (Ada Lovelace) and its focus on investigative AI that brings together massive amounts of evidence to answer complex, chain-of-reasoning questions.
He describes a "context engine" that sits between an agent and vast data sources to rapidly identify relevant information, run probabilistic reasoning, and maintain secure, traceable sourcing. Moore says Lovelace matched the quality of Google Gemini Deep Research while using tens of thousands of tokens instead of millions, and shares efficiency gains that cut an inference from about $7 to under one cent on a two-year-old server. The discussion covers applications in financial crime, national security, safety, and disaster response coordination, and highlights Pittsburgh's mix of infrastructure and mathematical engineering talent.
The Pittsburgh Technology Council produces TechVibe to explore Pittsburgh's technology and innovation ecosystem.
