Using Artificial Intelligence to amplify humans with superpowers

We combine a broad knowledge of artificial intelligence and machine learning with user experience design, strategic thinking, and transdisciplinary skills. We support companies to explore new products and help them handle the complexity of today’s world.

• How can your business profit from artificial intelligence? In workshops with your domain experts, we create a map of options to understand opportunities and risks.
• Evaluation of AI techniques' maturity: research of similar use cases, prototyping for specific use cases.
• Solutions for specific tasks: advantages and disadvantages of techniques, cost estimation, an overview of necessary skills and resources
• Prototyping: Making use cases of AI techniques — in software and hardware — graspable. In particular, we consider the techniques' scalability to make realistic cost estimations for a broader rollout.

To dynamically respond to our customers' different requirements, we develop customized software tools and solutions based on current scientific knowledge. We focus on economic benefits and interaction with decision-makers.

Intelligent Decisions

Which product idea is worth developing? Where should we open a new branch? How do we best address customers? How do we compose efficient teams? Businesses are permanently confronted with decisions in complex contexts. With the multitude of options and information, one quickly loses track and, in extreme cases, relies on purely algorithmic decision methods, which decide worse than humans, but also take the blame. We think that people should always have the last word, but need assistance by an intelligent combination of data, heuristics, and decision mechanisms.

Our approach to decision support systems is based on scientific findings on human decision-making as well as search and optimization algorithms from artificial intelligence. The process includes automatic documentation of decisions to enable a learning process from experience.

„The methods of AI are mature - in theory! The art is to harmonize real questions of our customers with the implicit assumptions of the algorithms.”

Machine Learning

Machine Learning is hyped as the new silver bullet, employing data scientists is becoming next to impossible. Many companies wonder whether machine learning makes sense for their specific business. This question can only be answered in the context of specific issues, data, and domain expertise. We offer a prototyping service for machine learning, where we combine the efficiency of our machine learning tool with your domain expertise to quickly assess whether a real investment in data-driven methods promises economic benefits.
