Hayden Doughty · Austin, Texas

I turn AI research into working solutions.

I lead applied AI research, build and test workflows, and help people use them—from enterprise operations to real estate.

AI Research & Innovation Analyst at Keller Williams Realty International (KWRI) corporate headquarters, in Industry & Learning. I connect AI research, vendor collaboration, and practical adoption across the Keller Williams network.

How I work / 02

The person using the system comes first.

I work from the first observation through research, building, testing, and the guidance people need to use a solution.

My approach
  1. 01

    Understand the work

    Research the person, task, and constraints before selecting a tool.

  2. 02

    Build the solution

    Turn the findings into a workflow, prototype, or practical resource.

  3. 03

    Test in context

    Check behavior, output quality, and usability with intended users.

  4. 04

    Enable adoption

    Package the setup, teach the workflow, and clarify the next step.

A team-first approach to complex problems.
