About

I’m Patrick Giblin—an inventor and founder of 451 Degrees, where for over 15 years, I’ve dedicated my career to bringing practical AI applications to the public. With five U.S. patents, I’ve developed a Contextual Relevancy SaaS ecosystem that strengthens digital content and e-commerce by making AI work seamlessly and privately in the background. My product creates dynamic keywords that enhance Content Recommendations, Product Recommendations, Search, and the Ad Tech stack—all while respecting user privacy. For me, it’s simple: focus on the content, not the cookies. Privacy matters. User experience matters. Better results matter. Throughout my journey, I’ve faced skepticism about AI’s capabilities, but I remain committed to educating and innovating. My mission is to empower media companies, publishers, and ad tech partners to reclaim control of their content and unlock the full potential of contextual relevancy in a cookieless, privacy-first future. Through 451 Degrees, I continue to push forward, advocating for a digital landscape that respects users and leverages AI for meaningful, positive impact.
