SphereOI Studios – Developing Purpose-Built Intelligent Systems without Bogging Down on AI Research

The rise in availability of computing power and massive datasets have led to the creation of new AI, models, and algorithms encompassing thousands of variables and capable of making rapid and impactful decisions. Too often, though, these capabilities work only in controlled environments and are difficult to replicate, verify, and validate in the real world. The need for an engineering discipline to guide the development and deployment of AI capabilities is urgent. AI engineering aims to provide a framework and tools to proactively design AI systems to function in environments characterized by high degrees of complexity, ambiguity, and dynamism. The discipline of AI engineering aims to equip practitioners to develop systems across the enterprise-to-edge spectrum, to anticipate requirements in changing operational environments and conditions, and to ensure human needs are translated into understandable, ethical, and thus trustworthy AI. AI Engineering is taking shape as a discipline already across different organizations and institutions. It is not only a source of AI Engineering expertise, but also as conveners and catalysts, bringing together people and ideas to share the lessons learned, the techniques developed, and the discoveries made.

SphereOI Studios is an AI engineering firm with experience developing, testing, qualifying, and fielding AI/ML systems to serve a greater purpose. SphereOI has been fielding cutting-edge intelligent solutions for over 20 years, touching almost every industry and domain. They work in healthcare, security, manufacturing, aerospace, supply chain, defense, agriculture, and more. Their consulting and outsourcing model started in the early stages of developing big data architectures for government and industry. At the core, the company applies Lean Production principles to the development of predictive analytics, data science, machine learning, and application software. From past 7-years, their practice has emphasized neural-network engineering to activate the promise of AI.

Accelerating Innovation with Enterprise AI Solution

Business Solutions: Today’s AI investments must deliver on the promise of an autonomous future. Real-world AI is happening and time-to-market is critical.  SphereOI Studios brings the experience of building industry-defining business systems for planning, decision-making, personalization, automation, and more. From ramping the AI flywheel to executing digital strategy, they deliver speed and innovation. Their SpeedShift™ design-engineering cadence turns years into months, delivering big outcomes from small budgets and generating value 3X faster than conventional enterprise software teams. SphereOI Studios exists to invent new technologies that bring AI and autonomy to every industry. The promise of intelligent and autonomous systems is too important for it to be exclusive to “big tech.” By helping startups they strategically accelerate industry-focused AI without engaging in costly fundamental AI research. The company keeps the D part of R&D front and center

Consumer Products and Services: SphereOI is a fusion of cutting-edge AI engineering and product design. More than the “AI team,” they craft consumer-facing surfaces for products and digital services that engage audiences. Activated by the promise of AI, design innovation is a core skill they harness to modernize product categories for optimal segmentation and positioning. The company makes the product special by imbuing it with cutting-edge technology and Strong Center Design. It enhances value propositions and audience engagement with intelligent systems and designs AI-native products with rewarding experiences and novel features. SphereOI Studios fully appreciates the role AI must play in deterring aggression, defending freedom, and protecting assets. Human-in-the-loop is no longer a survivable doctrine in many domains. Modern systems must respond with superhuman decisions against threats that measure action in milliseconds. They help the self-governed project technical dominance through superior real-world perception, understanding, and autonomy. Their AI Engineering teams are among the best you’ll find anywhere. From the most advanced applications of reinforcement learning and natural language processing to everyday computer vision, they bring the experience you need to de-risk and accelerate. They will help you envision the art of the possible and then execute to the end, at a shockingly fast pace.
