Our mission 

Rather than replacing subject matter experts (SMEs), we are building new capabilities that empower them to achieve more, discover deeper insights, and ultimately redefine the boundaries of their fields using artificial intelligence (AI).

We focus on significantly boosting their cognitive capacity and deepening their domain expertise, while strategically integrating AI where it excels – rapidly generating vast amounts of content and performing sophisticated data analysis at scale. 

Partnerships

Our group has a close partnership with these research institutions:

Featured projects

A selection of our current projects include:

AugmentSME

A project that involves co-design workshops with SMEs to explore how agentic AI can support SMEs with a particular focus on applications in health and local government.
