General description of the AI solution

Software platform that allows adding ready made A.I. models to projects. By working as a plugin to project management tools and being no-code user interface only solution Bitskout gives a possibility to use A.I. by everyone democratising access to state-of-the-art technologies.

3. Aspects

Excellence and Scientific Quality: Please detail the improvements made by the nominee or the nominees’ team or yourself if your applying for the award, and why they have been a success.

Bitskout is a software platform that allows users add no-code ready made A.I. to the project tools. The key innovation is that using Bitskout at a first step users can build processes to collect proprietary operational data (proof of work – photo, videos) allowing our platform to learn and automatically build new proprietary models for users. By having a proprietary models users can then further automate quality assurance and payment by using Bitskout features that allow to connect proof of work checked by A.I. with crypto rewards. By working on top of project tools we are exposed to how people work and this allows our platform learn over time and offer forecasting and other models. The platform is live and can be used today (TRL 7-9).

Scaling of impact to SDGs: Please detail how many citizens/communities and/or researchers/businesses this has had or can have a positive impact on, including particular groups where applicable and to what extent.

Today artificial intelligence is not available to 95% of companies that operate in the real world because of 3 main issues:
– the state-of-the-art A.I. is too general (e.g. Google Image Recognition, etc.)
– there is not proprietary data collected to make it more accurate for any vertical
– implementing it by own means is too expensive.

Our platform democratizes access to A.I. and allows companies to create processes to collect their own data to build automatically their own models without any line of code. By hiding all the A.I. complexities from the user and giving a simple interface to interact with required functionalities (count objects, summarise text, extract data, etc.) users can implement A.I. into their work in minutes.

Scaling of AI solution: Please detail what proof of concept or implementations can you show now in terms of its efficacy and how the solution can be scaled to provide a global impact ad how realistic that scaling is.

Our platform is absolutely ready to be scaled, the problem that we are facing is in the marketing of our solution. The moment a user gets to our website or to a meeting with us, it is almost 100% a win. Our customers (we have 6 enterprise customers) are extremely happy and grow the platform usage implementing more and more use cases. We have made preparation to make the platform viral by allowing users to share their models with each other.

Many of our users are looking forward to using Bitskout to acquire proprietary operational data from their field teams. This operational data represents a serious asset and is a future for any company.

Ethical aspect: Please detail the way the solution addresses any of the main ethical aspects, including trustworthiness, bias, gender issues, etc.

The target of our platform is to democratise access to A.I. It lies in removing technical barrier to start using it in daily work.
