Case Studies · Ridian Labs

Working prototypes and applied AI workflows.

Real-world builds from Ridian Technologies — Chamber resource centers, instructional design agents, applied research workflows, and operator cockpits. Each one preserves human judgment, clarity, and accountability.

Live deployment · Chamber source-bounded assistant

Workforce Resource Navigator

A Chamber-supported digital resource center for the South Baldwin Workforce Development initiative. Helps employers, entrepreneurs, students, veterans, and community partners navigate workforce, training, startup, childcare, housing, grants, and licensing resources — with a live assistant strictly bounded to supplied Chamber sources.

  • Built on the Triple E P framework with verified Chamber source material
  • Live Q&A assistant that refuses anything outside the supplied corpus
  • Always cites verified Chamber pathways and directs users to the Chamber for verification
  • No hallucinations — no scraped data — no claim of official Chamber endorsement yet

Applied use case

Piper

A real applied workflow where preservice teacher feedback becomes structured insight, stakeholder communication, and human-approved product improvements — coordinated through Meridian with human review at every decision point.

  • Structured feedback intake from a Copilot-based tutoring experience
  • Pattern analysis via Vertex AI / Gemini
  • Routed deliverables: KPI summaries, decks, stakeholder emails, recommendations
  • Human approval before any change ships

Prototype · Microsoft Copilot Studio

Course Architect

A Microsoft Copilot Studio instructional design agent configured by Ridian Technologies. Demonstrates how Copilot Studio can be configured with advanced large language model capabilities — including Claude Opus 4.6 — to support structured instructional design workflows with human review at the center.

  • Built on Microsoft Copilot Studio
  • Advanced model configuration including Claude Opus 4.6
  • Structured instructional workflows: outcomes, modules, activities, assessments
  • Responsible-use boundaries; expert human review required for any real course

Prototype · OpenAI Agents SDK

Ridian Agency

A local-first business workflow prototype built with the OpenAI Agents SDK. It helps an operator submit a business task and generate market research, business documents, slide outlines, draft emails, and saved artifacts with human review at the center.

  • Built with the OpenAI Agents SDK
  • Local FastAPI prototype with file-based artifacts
  • Generates research summaries, business documents, slide outlines, and draft emails
  • Designed for operator review before use

About Ridian Labs

Prototypes, not products.

Labs entries are portfolio demonstrations of instructional technology and AI workflow design. They are not official products of any college, university, LMS provider, Microsoft, Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google. If a Lab prototype maps to something your team needs in production, the path is a scoped engagement.
