Human-in-the-loop teleoperation for heavy machinery
Shaan pitches remote-operated construction machinery: rather than waiting for full self-driving AI, a remote driver handles only the hard 20% (left turns, parking) while the machine automates the rest, so one operator can cover 10 sites a day and earn 3x.
“And one of the human in the loop things that I think is going to happen is remote operated heavy machinery on construction sites. Because if you take the people away, you reduce a lot of the danger, you reduce the skill requirement, and then maybe you only need an operator to do certain high skill tasks. And they just like basically load in like a video game, they do the task, and then they leave, and then they go do it again. So one driver can be like working on 10 construction sites every day.”
Steal thisBuild teleoperation that automates the easy 80% and routes only hard moments to a remote human, so one operator covers many sites.

Deep Sentinel: 1 guard per 100 homes makes $100/mo security viable
Dave Selinger explains how Deep Sentinel undercuts the $30K-$100K/month cost of a personal billionaire guard. Using AI to filter events, one guard covers ~100 properties, making live human-monitored security affordable at a $100/month starting price.
$100
Properties monitored per guard · properties/guard
“We have a ratio of about 1 guard for every about 100 properties right now. And that's how we make it so that it's affordable because it's $100 a month, kind of our starting price point. And if you think about like having a security guard at your house, if you happen to, you know, have a bunch of friends who are billionaires, for example, they're spending $30,000 to $100,000 a month for a security guard.”

The schlocky hotel guard: 15 minutes of coverage for $3,000/mo
Dave illustrates Deep Sentinel's untapped seam with a hotel-owner friend paying a sloppy guard $3,000/month who shows up three times a night for five minutes each, just 15 minutes of real security over 10 hours. Deep Sentinel offers 24/7 monitoring for ~$1,000/month.
“he shows up 3 times a night. This is for $3,000 a month. He shows up 3 times a night and just walks around the parking lot for about 5 minutes. He gets a total of 15 minutes of security over the course of 10 hours, and it's $3,000. Whereas with us, we'd be able to provide that service for, for maybe $1,000 a month, and there'd be someone watching 24/7 in case something happened.”
