# James Reilly

> James Reilly is the co-founder and CEO of Latent Knowledge, a New York based AI company behind LitView, a semantic search engine that maps and clusters technical literature in 3D so researchers can find related work across disciplines instead of hunting database by database. A West Point life-science researcher with a background spanning psychology, physiology and education, Reilly built LitView after noticing how often ideas in unrelated fields quietly overlap. The platform has been trialed at West Point, Harvard Graduate School of Education, the University of Geneva and King's College London, and Latent Knowledge struck a co-selling partnership with Microsoft in 2022.
