QUEST PROGRESS โ€” SHIPPED & EVOLVING

HP Nio is the AI companion for industrial print production, built into HP PrintOS for HP Indigo digital presses. It analyzes real-time production data, predicts and diagnoses equipment issues before they stop a press, walks operators through fixes step by step, and surfaces bottlenecks across entire fleets โ€” through a conversation.

I've been on Nio's core development since January 2025, and since April 2026 I lead a team of six AI engineers expanding it across HP's business units โ€” Large Format, 3D and Sales. It's the kind of AI-first product I care about: not a demo, not a chatbot bolted on top, but GenAI engineered into an industrial workflow where downtime costs real money and answers have to be right.
