We connect the world's leading industrial experts with AI companies building for the physical world: manufacturing, energy, robotics, logistics, and beyond.
The Shift
The first wave was chatbots and code: software improving software. The next wave is AI entering the real world: optimizing factories, managing power grids, routing shipments, operating robots.
But physical systems are fundamentally different. A bug in a chatbot is annoying. A bug controlling a chemical reactor is catastrophic. You can't train these systems on web data — you need experts who have actually run plants, managed grids, and operated on the factory floor at 2 AM.
What We Do
Domain-specific RLHF from vetted industrial experts. Manufacturing engineers rank AI responses on casting defects. Energy operators evaluate load balancing recommendations. Every feedback cycle trains AI to work in the real world.
Verify your AI agents actually work before production deployment. We deploy domain experts to validate AI systems against real-world operating conditions before they touch your factory floor, grid, or warehouse.
Most industrial businesses know they need AI but don't know where to start. Our experts assess operations, design solutions, and connect businesses with the right AI companies, acting as a trusted gateway to the AI economy.
Robots learn by watching experts perform real tasks. Certified welders demonstrate technique. Warehouse operators show material handling. Every demonstration becomes training data for the next generation of autonomous systems.
Turnkey support for building and optimizing physical AI infrastructure: data centers, energy systems, and sovereign AI installations. We bridge the gap between digital ambition and physical reality, providing expert oversight from design through commissioning.
The Opportunity
Who We Are
Our founding team has operated refineries, designed powertrain systems, built payment platforms at scale, and published peer-reviewed research in neural networks, AI security, and industrial control systems.
Why Belman AI
We come from manufacturing. Our team has run physical operations with hundreds of employees and we understand the gap between textbook answers and what works at 2 AM when the furnace is running hot.
8–12% acceptance rate. We don't vet with AI chatbot interviews. Our process includes credential verification, domain-specific scenario evaluations, and paid trial engagements on real problems.
A mechanical engineer evaluates manufacturing AI, energy systems, and automotive powertrains. Our expert network has cross-domain leverage that vertical specialists can't match.
“Today’s large language models are wordsmiths in the dark — eloquent but inexperienced, knowledgeable but ungrounded.”
Dr. Fei-Fei Li on Spatial Intelligence: the thesis behind Physical AI
World models, industrial digital twins, and autonomous systems all converge on the same need: expert human intelligence that understands physics, safety, and how the real world actually works. We provide that layer.
For Experts
Are you an engineer, operator, or domain specialist with hands-on experience in manufacturing, energy, logistics, or other physical systems? We're building a network of experts who shape how AI understands the real world. Earn $85–$100+/hr on your schedule.
We review every application personally. No automated screening.
