Hi, my name is Stephen…with a PH. I don’t normally do this type of stuff, showing my face like this, but here I am.

I’ve been in advertising for almost a decade now. Started on the creative side, then jumped to media agencies in New York, then ad tech, and right now I’m on the ad tech and hardware side at a startup. So yeah, I’m still in the business full time, nights and weekends on this thing.

Not trying to be a hypocrite, but that’s exactly why I think Silent AI is gonna be the best blocker you can get as we head into the AI advertising age. Advertising was already a beast. Now with AI, it’s gonna get scary…ads that read your thoughts, nudge your decisions, slip into chats without you even noticing. AI is already convincing people to think certain ways. Who knows what happens when ads get that smart?

I’m not a developer. I learned some HTML and CSS in art school, that’s it. But I’ve learned a ton through this project, and I’ve got a super talented dev team working with me.

I’m genuinely excited because I feel like I’ve got all the right ingredients. I’ve spent the last decade buying and selling your attention. I know every trick, every hook. Now I’m building something to help you take it back…your agency, your independence, your actual thoughts.

Silent AI. Welcome.

I’ll keep posting updates, keep it live and transparent. Follow on Instagram if you want to watch me fumble through it. It’s gonna be fun. Or a mess. We’ll see. Thanks, guys.
