Ginkgo – History

Ginkgo-ai.com was founded in 2020, during a time when its future leaders were pursuing independent ventures in artificial intelligence. Dr. Charles Brown was immersed in developing a Bluetooth audio solution for drive-thru applications, leveraging his expertise in engineering and enterprise systems to address real-world challenges. Meanwhile, Charles Howard was honing his skills in AI development, working on advanced machine learning models and AI-driven solutions. These parallel journeys laid a strong technical and creative foundation for what was to come.

In 2024, the two paths converged at the retirement celebration of a mutual friend. A conversation about technology and innovation quickly revealed their shared passion for solving complex problems through AI. Within a month of their meeting, Dr. Brown and Charles Howard embarked on a collaborative journey to develop a cutting-edge Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system. This partnership not only combined their complementary skills but also cemented their vision to build Ginkgo-ai.com into a leader in AI solutions, setting the stage for the company’s continued growth and success
