Our Philosophy

Our guiding philosophy is that AI should be broadly accessible and easy to use. Informing that philosophy are several core beliefs:

AI is a game of singles.

Much attention is given to futuristic applications of AI such as self-driving cars, computer vision and the like. However, we believe AI is much more relevant to most companies in core business operations such as demand and revenue forecasting, inventory planning, network management and churn reduction. The benefit comes not from a single application but from making lots of improvements in many areas.

AI is most impactful in real-time.

Many companies we meet have invested significant time and money in AI initiatives that haven't been put to use. Machinify exists specifically to address this problem. Only when AI is incorporated into actual products and processes can it have a meaningful impact.

Speed and low marginal cost matter.

When it takes a long time and a lot of people to create an AI intervention, a company will be hesitant to commit to a project for fear of being wrong. However, when the actual and opportunity cost of trial is low, a company is freed to have many more at-bats.

We must automate low-value tasks.

Data scientists are a valuable commodity. In order to best leverage their skills, we must to free them from the unleveraged labor and allow them to focus their time on creatively applying their skills to as many problems/questions as possible.

PARTNERSHIP MODEL

We offer our partners a high level of support and guidance, balanced with a great deal of autonomy and control. We will work with your team according to the following steps of development, deployment and operation:

01

Build

We take responsibility for the initial build and delivery, in full collaboration with your team, so knowledge is transferred in a hands-on contextual manner.

02

Operate

We then operationalize the AI modeling and production solution while continuing with the training and transfer of knowledge.

03

Transfer

We transfer operational control to your team, giving you full autonomy and control to create and deploy new AI-driven products.
