I am a Canadian techie/academic/SME founder, recently returned from the meth lab down south. I am retooling back in Toronto by tackling a fun and ambitious project. 

I want to build AI-enhanced systems to make it easier to automate "thin markets". 

You can identify a thin market in several ways: a) it may be geographically or culturally fragmented (think every non-US export market Canada faces), b) the items transacted (goods, services, IP) are too complex and nuanced to fit in an Amazon-like database schema, and c) the existing market, such as it is, is run by expert human brokers with big contact lists.

My thesis is that many, if not most, of the traditional roadblocks to making a thin market "thicker" and more productive are rooted in poor information exchange and may be addressable by strategic and targeted use of LLM+RAG or fine-tuned LLM technology.

I am running (and self-funding) three projects. 

1. An open source (MIT license) project to develop a generic scaffold to build solutions. It provides the non-AI functions and has the slots to drop in the AI tech and prompt engineering needed to address a chosen vertical application.

2. A proprietary business test case to explore how this would work to improve export possibilities for high value, premium agricultural products (currently exploring Canada to Asia direct sales concept).

3. A utility that uses generative AI to create large numbers of rich synthetic users (buyers and sellers) to create a meaningful market "simulator". This will give stakeholders a chance to test the market design and function before having to commit to the far more costly step of market deployment. 

I'm not actively seeking funding or a project, but I would love to brainstorm about ways a future solution might help Canada and Canadians.
