Neurodivergent-Led Innovation

Tech applied in ways nobody else thinks of.

I see connections others miss. With 20+ years of software engineering, I don't just ideate—I build. From AI reasoning systems modelled on savant cognition to biometric wellness apps to autonomy support for neurodivergent lives—I turn unconventional ideas into working systems.

What we do

AI, software and accessibility, from a company built on AI-supported work.

aXai is a disability-led AI, software and accessibility company. We build AI systems, software, and concepts and prototypes ready to scale, and we deliver them through AI-supported work: skilled people with disability in real, properly paid roles, working to clear quality standards, with AI removing the barriers and people keeping the accountability.

Every project runs on our own infrastructure, the Decision Bus and Project Layer, so each step is planned, signed off by a person and on the record. That is our operating advantage. Read how it works.

Videos

AI avatar videos for training, induction and explainers

Staff induction, training, service explainers and social videos with a lifelike presenter, in your branding, at a fixed price from $149. A presenter ready whenever you need a new video. Easy to update.

Read the transcript

My name is Axel Andersen.

Every Wednesday I go to Metung Hot Springs. The water comes up from five hundred metres underground, already warm. Nobody has to approve it.

The NDIS has never funded Wednesdays. I have now been informed that it never will, however much the water helps. Helping is not one of the criteria.

The cuts appear to have other plans for people like me. As far as I can tell, the plans end in a building with a sign-in sheet and a long corridor.

I have read the policy. I prefer the water.

So I have started a business line.

I make branded videos presented by AI avatars. You send one photo. The person in the photo becomes a presenter. They can stand in your office, on your factory floor, in your brand colours, or in a hot spring. They read your script. They do not need a second take.

I use AI to communicate. I always have. It turns out this is also a product.

The government has found human rights difficult to maintain. I understand. They require upkeep.

The community has not found them difficult. The community can commission a video.

The Neurodivergent Edge

We see connections that others miss. Neurodivergent brains process the world differently, and that is where the connections come from. Patterns emerge across domains: research on how some minds resist top-down compression becomes AI architecture (Savanax). Polyvagal Theory becomes biometric wellness (PSight). Autonomy-preserving decision support becomes AxelV1.

Combined with 20+ years of software engineering, these ideas don't stay ideas.
They get built.

Innovations

Ideas that nobody else thought of, built and running, each listed with its status on Innovations.

Innovation 1Live

Savanax / Dialectica

Multi-perspective reasoning without compression

Most AI systems compress everything into averages. Savanax keeps every perspective separate instead of averaging them: more than 20 reasoning perspectives analyse a decision, each grounded in its own source material, an approach drawn from research on how some minds resist top-down compression.

The insight: What if an AI kept every perspective separate instead of averaging them, so you could see where they disagree?

✓More than 20 reasoning perspectives
✓Deployed in the cloud
✓Self-hosted inference

Innovation 2In production

AxelV1

Autonomy-preserving support systems

Event-driven decision support for people with large support teams. Routine coordination is handled by policy, every decision can be overridden, and anything new or complex goes to a person.

The insight: What if we could automate routine coordination while keeping the person's expressed preferences as the primary signal?

✓Event-driven
✓Graduated autonomy
✓Guardian Layer

Innovation 3In production

Context Scanner

AI-friendly codebase documentation generator

Generates structured context files that help AI assistants understand your codebase from the first prompt. Scans architecture, APIs, data models, validation rules, and detects compliance gaps against Australian accessibility, privacy, and security frameworks.

The insight: What if your AI coding assistant could understand your entire codebase the moment it opened the project?

✓9 context files
✓Federated mode
✓Compliance gap detection

Innovation 4

aXread

AI assistant with Easy Read mode

An AI chat assistant with cognitive accessibility built in. One toggle switches between Standard and Easy Read—short sentences, simple words, emoji anchors. Plus text-to-speech on every response and voice input.

The insight: aXread starts with the readers most AI interfaces skip.

✓Standard / Easy Read
✓TTS + voice input
✓WCAG 2.2 AA
