Each is scoped around a real workflow and ends with something the client can use. 1. **AI Workflow Audit** - Reviews how a team actually works, finds repetitive tasks and bottlenecks, and shows where automation will pay off first. Outcome: a prioritised list of practical automation opportunities ranked by effort and impact. Format: fixed-scope audit, usually one to two weeks. 2. **AI Prototype Sprint** - Picks one valuable workflow and builds a working proof of concept around it using real content and tools. Outcome: a working prototype to evaluate before committing to a build. Format: focused sprint, typically two to four weeks. 3. **Custom Automation Build** - Connects the tools, APIs, databases and internal processes already in use so work moves without manual copy and paste. Outcome: reliable automation that removes repetitive manual steps. Format: project engagement, scoped after the audit or sprint. 4. **Production Systems Integration** - Connects AI, broadcast, media, cloud and operational systems so they work together instead of in isolation. Outcome: systems that exchange data reliably across production and business tooling. Format: integration project, planned around the existing stack. 5. **Team Training and Adoption** - Helps teams adopt AI safely and consistently, with practical habits rather than vague policy. Outcome: a team that uses AI tools confidently, repeatably and within clear boundaries. Format: workshop series plus reference material. ## By the numbers - 1000+ projects completed - 30+ years experience - 200+ live events mixed - 98% client satisfaction ## About Duncan Underwood Duncan Underwood is a Melbourne-based audio engineer, video post production specialist, and AI and technology consultant with over three decades of hands-on experience across music, film, broadcast, and digital media.

Used as the prompting tool on live events. Tools: TypeScript, desktop. - **Tab Cleaner** - a privacy-first Chrome and Edge extension that keeps one tab per website, groups by site, sorts A-Z or by open order, and ungroups back to plain tabs. Free download; runs entirely locally and never sends tab URLs anywhere. Tools: JavaScript, browser extension. https://myevent-labs.io/shop/tab-cleaner - **Conntivity** - an HLS player that renders a stream and reports playback and bandwidth telemetry in real time. Used to monitor live streams and diagnose connectivity issues. Tools: JavaScript, HLS.js. https://conntivity.app - **Claude Companion** - a Bitfocus Companion module that shows live AI coding session state on hardware buttons and lets you approve or deny requests from the controller. Tools: TypeScript, Bitfocus Companion. - **AI HQ** - a command center to compare AI models, track pricing, monitor benchmarks and discover new releases. Tools: TypeScript, Next.js. https://ai-hq.tech - **Postr** - a terminal-first AI social content studio that turns a rough idea into platform-ready posts, threads and rewrites using your own AI provider key. Free for Windows, macOS and Linux. Tools: Go, CLI. https://myevent-labs.io/shop/postr ## Case studies - **Prompting and timing for live shows.** Situation: live presenters and stage teams needed reliable script prompting and shared timing without dedicated hardware rigs. Challenge: prompting, speaker timing and stage cues were split across unrelated tools. Work: built Prompt Me Live, a cross-platform teleprompter with dual-window control and show views. Result: a prompting and timing setup that runs from ordinary machines and follows the show structure. Tools: TypeScript, desktop, web. - **Seeing a live stream before it fails.** Situation: streaming teams had no live view of playback confidence or bandwidth while a feed was on air. Challenge: problems were only diagnosed after a drop. Work: built Conntivity, an HLS player that renders a stream and reports playback and bandwidth telemetry in real time. Result: live monitoring used to spot connectivity problems while there is still time to react. Tools: JavaScript, HLS.js. - **Controlling AI coding sessions from hardware.** Situation: AI coding agents run for long stretches and need occasional approvals. Challenge: watching terminal state and approving requests from the keyboard interrupts flow. Work: built a Bitfocus Companion module that mirrors live session state onto hardware buttons and sends approve or deny actions back. Result: AI session state and approvals handled from the controller already in use. Tools: TypeScript, Bitfocus Companion. ## Insights - **Where AI saves time in post production.** AI is used where the task is repetitive and the result is easy to check: transcription, rough assembly, first-pass captions and pulling metadata out of long recordings. That removes the tedious first pass so creative decisions get more of the time. A human check stays on anything that leaves the building, and final creative calls are not handed to a model. - **What creative businesses should automate first.** Start with the work you repeat every week, not the work that sounds impressive. In most studios that is moving files, renaming and logging, syncing calendars, and turning the same information into quotes and schedules. Automate the boring, high-frequency steps first: they are cheap to fix, easy to measure, and they free up time that people notice. - **Building tools for live production.** For live work, reliability beats features. Prompt Me Live is kept deliberately simple, avoids unnecessary moving parts, and runs from an ordinary machine. Live work has no undo: the tools stay simple, work offline where they can, and behave predictably under pressure. ## How it works 1. **Brief and discovery** - share project goals, timeline, and references. Duncan reviews everything and responds within 24 hours. 2. **Quote and scope** - receive a transparent, itemised quote with no hidden costs. Once approved, the project is locked in and scheduled. 3. **Production** - work begins. Progress updates are provided and feedback is welcome at key milestones throughout the process. 4. **Delivery** - final files delivered in the required formats. Revisions included. Ongoing support available for follow-up work. ## Testimonials - "Duncan mixed our live show at the Forum and it was the best sound we've ever had on stage." - James, touring musician (live audio mixing) - "We brought Duncan in to handle the broadcast audio for our national conference.
