Prime Signal : Independent AI studio.
I started Prime Signal because as I built the systems, experiments, and tools to power my research and skills, I needed a place to share my findings.
After a decade of building technology and startups at the frontier, it was time to share my thoughts as a visionary and operational leader. A destination for optimistic insights, grounded in reality with real practical application.

Test what works. Turn it into evergreen artifacts.
The Signal
Essays on AI, super-intelligence, and the future of humanity.
Research
Deep briefs, benchmarks, experiments, workflows, and findings.
Tools
Free and paid agents, skills, frameworks, research systems, and AI operator tools.
Select Advisory
Select advisory with aligned founders and teams, only where there is clear fit and no conflict.
The studio loop: Test the tools. Build the systems. Extract the signal. Share what works.
AI should expand human agency.
Most AI debate collapses into God-like salvation or societal and environmental collapse.
Prime Signal takes a different posture: a super-intelligent world will be a better world, but not a perfect one. The impact on humanity and the environment depends on the humans and societal systems using it.
I care about AI that makes people more capable: sharper research, better judgment, more creative leverage, stronger companies, and tools that help people build a better world without outsourcing their own agency.
Holding both at once.
The Intersection
AI has unlocked the ability to turn ideas into reality. The tools are re-shaping how we work, think, and relate to our own agency and creativity.
The Operator
Years inside emerging technology, marketing, narrative, and company building. Driving growth through product-market fit.
The Human Layer
More than a decade studying consciousness, philosophy, leadership, and human transformation.
All Together
Merging worlds. Prime Signal exists as a creative and passion-project outlet.
10+ years building at the frontier.
The companies and startups I've supported have collectively:
Users generated
Capital raised
Volume generated
Clear boundaries matter.
Prime Signal is an independent personal studio by Amateo Kaplan. It's built on my own time. It is not affiliated with my employer, and of course does not use employer resources or confidential information.
I only consider selective consulting or advisory where there is strong alignment, no conflict, and a clear fit. I do not offer fractional CMO work through Prime Signal.
This boundary is part of the integrity of the studio.
Two tests.
Think Outside the LLM.
If a competent AI model could synthesize the same thing from public information, it is not enough. Prime Signal has to add judgment, experience, synthesis, or a useful framework.
Pro-Humanity in the AI Era.
If the work does not expand human agency, it gets dropped. The goal is not automation or slop for its own sake. The goal is better humans using better tools to power the age of super-intelligence.
