## What we do

- The Operators Lab: the applied community for what comes after learning AI.
  It brings together builders, engineers, business operators, data-capture and
  production people, and physical-AI practitioners. Members build systems,
  improve operations, create valuable data, and move toward robotics and
  physical AI. Paid capture is one project track, not the entire community;
  work is not guaranteed and project terms are disclosed before participation.

- Creator Network: 300+ TikTok LIVE creators with free coaching, tools, and
  community. https://tiktoklivestream.com
- StreamGenie.ai: creators can explore opportunities to license original content
  for AI training while keeping ownership of what they make. https://streamgenie.ai
- Custom Physical AI Datasets: specification-driven human-demonstration capture
  using a configurable POD (up to Ego/Exo4D), optional wrist IMUs,
  or distributed operator activation. Deliveries can include synchronized video,
  declared measured and estimated signals, QA, dataset cards, signed provenance,
  and RLDS/LeRobot/GR00T-compatible layouts. Diffraction is also building a
  distributed arm-owner network for ACT-policy collection pilots.

- Influencer Marketing: creator campaigns operated end to end rather than a
  self-serve marketplace. Diffraction hand-picks creators from a 300+ network,
  writes native briefs, handles contracts and FTC disclosure, verifies channels,
  manages QA and payments, and reports performance per placement. Multi-year
  work includes Proton and Linus Media Group partnerships.
