1. THE BEGINNING
This innovation initially came to life when…
we wanted to solve the problem of quickly getting accurate information from large and disparate data sources. We worked in the area of AI and natural language processing and saw the limitations of the next generation of personal assistants, like Siri and Google Now. We wanted to be able to allow any developer to build their own optimized personal assistant capability that was secure, private and not beholden to any of the large technology companies. We want to build a global network of independent but interconnected AI systems.
2. WHAT & HOW
The purpose of this innovation is to…
…allow developers globally to build their own standalone AI solutions.
It does this by…
…providing developers with an SDK that leverages the Gazunti algorithms and allows them to build AI solutions without having specialist AI programming skills.

3. PURPOSE & BENEFITS
This innovation improves on what came before because…
…it is open source, standalone and has been benchmarked to deliver superior accuracy. Developers can use the SDK to create both online and offline solutions, which opens up the opportunity to deliver purpose-built enterprise solutions. Gazunti has been shown to deliver superior accuracy when benchmarked against leaders in the field.
Its various benefits to the customer/end-user include…
Customer (developer): ease of use, accuracy and cost. End-User: privacy and the ability to use sophisticated search to manage both their personal and public data from a single interface.
4. COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
In the past, this problem was solved by…
…paying specialist developers to build AI solutions or working with specialist AI platforms to customize their algorithms in a particular domain.
Its predecessors/competitors include…
Wolfram Alpha and Lymba Corp were two of the early players in this space and now there are a number of players offering niche solutions including Expect Labs, wit.au and predictionIO.
5. TARGET MARKET
It is made for…
…travellers. Anyone travelling overseas will be able to use this service, no matter where they’re coming from or where they’re going. Typically, the audience will be aged 18-65 years as this age group is capable of making purchases online and comfortable doing so.
