SAN FRANCISCO, October 14, 2025 - SSage.com a pioneering venture founded by Florida-based entrepreneurs David Teece and Steve Outtrim, today unveiled SudoSelf, a breakthrough digital twin technology that promises to revolutionize executive education and knowledge transfer globally.

The groundbreaking debut took place during a plenary session at the Strategic Management Society's 45th Annual Conference at 1:30 PM at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square, where attendees witnessed firsthand how artificial intelligence can amplify human expertise at unprecedented scale.
Transforming Academic Excellence into Global Access
Professor David Teece's extraordinary scholarly impact-with 237,858 citations, an h-index of 123, and i10-index of 230-represents the pinnacle of business and economics research globally. SudoSelf's revolutionary platform now makes this unparalleled expertise universally accessible through sophisticated video and voice replicas that can both create entirely new content and translate existing materials into over 30 languages.
"We're not just digitizing education-we're reimagining how the world's leading minds can share their knowledge without boundaries of time, language, or geography," said Steve Outtrim, CEO of SSage.com. "SudoDavid represents the future of executive education, where a single expert can simultaneously teach thousands of students worldwide in their native languages while maintaining the depth and nuance of personal instruction."
Dual-Mode Digital Replicas Power Unprecedented Capabilities
SudoSelf's platform features both video and voice replicas of Professor Teece, enabling the system to generate original educational content - from lectures to podcasts - or translate existing materials across multiple languages and formats. SudoDavid speaks fluently in over 30 languages using Professor Teece's own voice, delivering hybrid courses that blend video lectures, interactive Q&A sessions, breakout group assignments, and personalized one-on-one coaching. Students can attend classes in English and seamlessly engage with follow-up questions in their native tongue.
University Partnerships Drive New Revenue Streams
SSage is actively partnering with universities to integrate SudoSelf into their Executive Education programs, offering customized Dynamic Capabilities courses tailored to specific corporate requirements. The platform also enables leading professors and thought leaders to create their own digital twins, opening new revenue streams through scalable course delivery and global reach previously impossible in traditional education models.
"This technology doesn't replace human expertise-it amplifies it exponentially," explained Professor David Teece, Chairman of SSage.com. "My lifetime of research and insights can now reach executives and students worldwide, providing them with personalized guidance that adapts to their specific strategic challenges and cultural contexts."
Patent-Pending Knowledge Architecture Powers Authentic Expertise
At the heart of SudoSelf lies a sophisticated, patent-pending knowledge ingestion system trained on Professor Teece's extensive body of work - spanning decades of articles, books, academic papers, video lectures, and presentations. The platform's multi-modal AI capabilities enable it to interpret videos and images, while a custom knowledge graph meticulously tracks temporal, industry, and geographic context, extracting wisdom, mental models, patterns, and insights from text, visual, and video data.
AI Agent Swarms Deliver Unparalleled Research Capabilities
SudoSelf's Research Mode deploys cutting-edge AI Agent Swarms, offering users the flexibility to search exclusively within Professor Teece's knowledge base or expand their inquiry to encompass internet sources and major language models. Multiple agents operate simultaneously - searching for information, assessing results, identifying conflicts, and verifying accuracy to eliminate hallucinations. This orchestrated approach combines state-of-the-art Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) techniques, enabling precise application of Professor Teece's expertise in ways previously impossible.
Seamless Integration Across Digital Platforms
Beyond traditional educational delivery, SudoSelf empowers the creation of multi-lingual content including podcasts, videos, presentations, and social media posts.
