Bennett Newhook
Engineer and founder building practical AI and intelligence tools.
I am an engineer and founder. I build small, focused tools that take a hard technical problem and turn it into something that does useful work, reliably. My work runs across AI automation and open-source intelligence.
AI automation
Designing automation that removes repetitive work and produces a result a business can measure.
Open-source intelligence
Lawful, defensible research from public and online sources, delivered as fully-cited written reports.
Engineering
A grounding in mechatronics and autonomous systems, and ongoing graduate work in applied AI.
Ventures
Outport AI
A practical AI automation studio. Outport builds automation that delivers a measurable business result: conference automation, CRM reactivation, workflow automation, and lead response.
Digital Hound
An open-source intelligence practice serving law firms and the corporate clients they advise. Defensible, fully-cited research drawn only from lawful, publicly available sources.
OutportReviews
A local-SEO and online-reputation service that helps small businesses earn more genuine five-star reviews and rank where their customers are searching.
A builder, by training
Engineer by training, with a background in mechanical and mechatronics engineering from Memorial University of Newfoundland, and a Master of Engineering in progress with a focus on artificial intelligence.
Research work spanning AI for autonomous systems and satellite guidance, navigation, and control, recognized with the NRC Future Builder Award and an IEEE publication.
A builder first: the throughline across every venture is turning a hard technical problem into a tool that does useful work reliably.
