An Iterate.ai generated suite of industry-related AI news
Exploration is our passion and it defines us. It shapes our values, as the journey of discovery is also a journey of progression. It helps us understand the world beyond our current knowledge and reimagine what each of us can achieve.
Our core beliefs guide our commitment to excellence, integrity, and innovation in everything we do.
AI is our sweet spot. We run complex AI in any environment, even on 1,000s of Edge computers. Our AI powers cameras worldwide, in places like remote gas stations and schools. Our engineers (PhDs and MSs in Swarm Computing, AI, IoT, Big Data, Maths, and Physics) provide thought leadership. That establishes a competitive advantage for our clients. We don’t offer lip service on AI; we do AI. That’s why companies like Google and Nvidia have formally partnered with Iterate and our award winning low-code platform.
We learn every day through intentional curiosity and exploration. By re-examining assumptions, we strive to become a better company, provide superior content, and grow as individuals. Then, we tackle complex projects – often viewed as too complex to be solved by others. Executives use AI Explored to watch industry developments, then they use Iterate’s outside-thinking, curation and AI platform/solutions to solve perplexing problems in many industries – from retail, to finance and banking, to energy. We don’t just inform and think, we “build” by applying our low-code platform and the five forces of innovation.
We bring a sense of urgency and speed to the enterprise. AI Explored keeps executives in the know about AI. Our patented Interplay platform builds digital prototypes, including advanced AI applications, up to 17x faster than traditional methods. Interplay is one more aspect of our answer machine because it opens the door to high-velocity experimentation. Experimentation leads to more answers – at lower costs.
Why not be happy? Why not be a positive influence? What's the point if we don't enjoy what we do every day? We believe each Iterator should be additive – contributing to the joy of invention, the joy of fulfilling work, the joy of achieving together, and the joy of helping people whom we enjoy spending time with, as it adds to our collective happiness and overall productivity. Life is short -- believe in The Joy Factor.
