Mihail Eric is a Palo Alto–based AI engineer and founder with a decade of experience bridging cutting-edge research and production systems. He was a senior machine learning scientist on Alexa’s Conversational Modeling team (helping grow it from 2 to ~20 people) and a Stanford NLP researcher who led long-term collaborations with Christopher Manning, Percy Liang, and Chris Potts. Mihail has founded and exited ventures and products—co-founding Storia AI, building Confetti AI (acquired), and running a consultancy that delivered 33% lifts on key metrics in under six weeks. He also teaches at Stanford and has built educational AI mobile apps used by thousands. Beyond large-scale dialogue and product work, his open-source contributions include tuning neuroscience-inspired HTM models in the Numenta NuPIC project, reflecting a curiosity that spans biologically motivated algorithms to deployed conversational systems.
Numenta Platform for Intelligent Computing is an implementation of Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM), a theory of intelligence based strictly on the neuroscience of the neocortex.
