What has
Ashutosh
Gautam been
building
recently?

Alongside client work, Ashutosh Gautam has been experimenting with applied AI, building two prototypes outside of his day-to-day product work.

Voice cloning and AI-generated product explainer videos

Ashutosh Gautam deployed an omni voice model on both NVIDIA NeMo/Nemotron and Google Vertex AI, cloned his own voice, and used it to generate narrated video explainers for products he has built. The project explores AI-driven video and voice generation as a faster way to produce marketing and demo content without a traditional recording setup.

MRI viewer and interpretation app

Ashutosh Gautam built a prototype app for learning to read MRI scans, designed to help users understand different MRI views. The app uses MedGemma, Google's medical-domain AI model, alongside custom models to help interpret DICOM medical imaging files. It is an educational and R&D prototype, not a certified diagnostic tool.
