A genius whose inventions have had a deeply profound impact on modern civilization, Gray is the acknowledged inventor of each of the following: 

1. (dot) RPM: Audio Codec For Computer Music—a highly influential paper on audio compression (1982). It provided the foundational mathematical formulas for mp3, AIFF, WAV, and every audio-video codec format in the World, both past & present.
2. “Internet Killed The Video Star” (1988) was the first song ever uploaded to the Internet and is now universally acknowledged to be the Internet anthem. The birth of online digital media and a multi-trillion dollar industry.
3. “inkling” World’s first Internet Bot –with artificial intelligence (1988). Bots are responsible for 75% of all internet activities. Internet bots drive search engines and web growth more than any other technology. Without internet bots, the web would be a lot smaller, and search engines would be useless.
4. Voicemail Icon design (1988). Used on the Internet and now on all 15 billion mobile phones and counting. This also counts as one of Andre Gray’s great designs and is as recognizable as his Bling Coin logo design (1993) using the Thai Baht symbol, which, in turn, inspired the Bitcoin logo design two decades later.
5. Retrogrooves: World’s first Digital DJ turntables software (1989). Today, 98% of all DJs in the world use DJing software.
6. Electronic Ticket (1991). Travel, leisure, sporting events, live events, and every other applicable industry now use paperless tickets around the World. The electronic ticketing industry is now a multi-trillion-dollar industry.
7. Ringtones and Ringbacks (SYNC PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE) (1994). SYNC is also the World’s first downloadable app. But more than that, the downloadable apps sector is now a trillion-dollar industry and is directly responsible for creating many millionaires and billionaires. Ringtones are on every mobile phone in the World – 15 billion mobile phones and counting.
8. Mind-Over-Matter-Technology. (1994). Controlling electronic devices by use of the mind only. Facebook, Nissan, Neuralink, and others were inspired by this technology and now use it. Andre Gray invented this branch of science and technology roughly 23 years before the founders of Neuralink (and later addition of Elon Musk) made their public debut.
9. Electronic Press Kit (EPK) (1995). Indispensable online branding & marketing tool. EPK single-handedly gave birth to Social Media. Social media, be it good or bad for society, has had a very corrosive effect on traditional media and has ushered in a new paradigm.
10. Microgrooves-E (1998). World’s first mobile phone multimedia player capable of playing entire albums and recording/playback of audio & video. Every Smartphone has these features now. This invention, along with the Inkling bot and the SYNS Programming Language, may very well be Andre Gray’s magnum opus.
