Built in Jacksonville. Shipped everywhere.

Drake Paulsen founded Impartial AI Tech Corp. to solve a problem he kept running into: organizations that needed something built — not pitched, not retainer-scoped, not handed offshore. Just built.

Founder & CEO, Impartial AI Tech Corp.

Jacksonville, Florida. Building custom AI, enterprise platforms, mobile apps, and Adaptive XI Intelligence — a personalized LMS for K-12 and higher education.

Drake Paulsen is the founder and CEO of Impartial AI Tech Corp., a Jacksonville, Florida technology company that builds what other firms pitch. Organizations come to Impartial AI Tech when they need something built — a custom AI system trained on their data, an enterprise platform designed around how their team actually works, a native mobile app ready for the App Store, or a marketing engine tied to revenue instead of impressions.

The company also built Adaptive XI Intelligence, an AI-native learning management system used in K-12 and higher education that personalizes instruction for every student individually. Its second flagship, Freedom Bar Games, turns any bar into a live game show — trivia, bingo, and bar games running live on every phone in the room. Every engagement starts with a clear problem and ends with working software in production. No retainers for strategy decks. No offshore handoffs. One focused team, from Jacksonville, that ships.

Drake is also the author of Adaptive Intelligence: Redesigning Education for the Individual, and the developer behind Hunt+Gather and Novos Leaf — independent products built outside of Impartial AI Tech.

Adaptive XI Intelligence

An AI-native learning management system that personalizes instruction for every student individually. Used in K-12 and higher education institutions that need more than a static LMS — they need one that learns.

Adaptive XI analyzes each student's performance, learning style, and progress in real time, then dynamically adjusts the instructional content, pace, and support delivered to them. The result is a system that meets every student where they actually are — not where the syllabus assumes they should be.

Freedom Bar Games

freedombargames.com
Live Bar Entertainment Platform

Freedom Bar Games turns any bar into a live game show. Trivia, bingo, and the bar classics — beer pong, darts, cornhole, even LipSync — run live on every phone in the room. No consoles, no equipment carts: the crowd's phones are the game.

Players jump in from a seat at the bar or the couch at home, compete in real time, and rack up points they redeem right at the venue. The game night follows the player wherever they are.

Freedom Bar Games is the second flagship product of Impartial AI Tech Corp. — designed, built, and operated by the same Jacksonville team behind Adaptive XI Intelligence.

Outdoor Lifestyle App

Hunt+Gather

huntandgather.app

The purpose-built companion app for hunters and anglers. Trip planning, location logging, harvest tracking, and outdoor intelligence — designed for people who spend real time in the field.

Built with React Native and Expo as a progressive web app, Hunt+Gather brings together the tools hunters and anglers actually use: interactive maps, species and harvest logs, weather integration, gear tracking, and trip journaling. Built by someone who understands the outdoor lifestyle firsthand — which means it reflects how people actually hunt and fish, not how developers imagine they do.

Cannabis Platform

Novos Leaf

novosleaf.com

A cannabis discovery and tracking platform connecting consumers to products, strains, and dispensaries. Built to bring clarity and personalization to the cannabis experience.

The legal cannabis market has grown rapidly but user-facing technology has largely failed to keep pace. Novos Leaf fills that gap with a clean, intuitive platform for strain discovery, product reviews, consumption logging, and dispensary connections — designed for informed adult consumers who want better information and a more personalized experience.

Adaptive Intelligence.

Drake's book on how education can move from standardization toward individualized, AI-supported learning — the intellectual foundation behind Adaptive XI Intelligence.

Adaptive Intelligence: Redesigning Education for the Individual — book by Drake Paulsen
Book by Drake Paulsen

Adaptive Intelligence

Redesigning Education for the Individual

Adaptive Intelligence: Redesigning Education for the Individual explores how artificial intelligence can reshape education around the needs, pace, strengths, and goals of each learner — and why one-size-fits-all instruction is a problem technology can now solve.

The book connects directly to Drake's work building Adaptive XI Intelligence at Impartial AI Tech Corp., grounding the technology in a clear educational philosophy: systems should adapt to students, not the other way around.

AI Agents in Production: What Actually Breaks

Everyone is demoing AI agents. Very few are running them in production. Here's what fails when real users hit AI generation systems at scale — and the engineering that fixes it.
