Datatrainer is a verifiable UK-based AI consultancy founded in 2019 and acquired by Simoda in November 2022. While the project achieved a successful exit (acquisition), the submission data is of extremely poor quality, containing generic definitions of AI instead of business specifics and making demonstrably false claims about audience reach ('everyone') and traction ('most people'). The verifiable reality is a niche B2B service with a modest exit, likely a talent/IP acquisition ('acqui-hire') rather than a mass-market product.

Project Details

Description
We provide off the shelf and bespoke Artificial Inteligence (AI) solutions to organisations who are looking to innovate and find hidden, additional insights and efficiencies in their data. We are working with award winning partners to deliver both established and cutting edge, enterprise grade applications to solve real world business problems and find improved productivy. Building on our established skills and experience in sales and marketign and financial services, we are keen to explore work across multiple other industry segments where our tranferable skills can produce significant benefits. Artificial Intelligence (AI) describes the ability of a machine to make human like decisions on its own and Machine Learning (ML) is the process by which this is achieved. A computer is programmed to analyse existing data and using sophisticated algorithms, learn from that data if a predictive relationship exists that it can use to determine future outcomes. We are already using AI today in various forms in our day to day lives, from the Personal Digital Assistants we use at home (e.g. Alexa) to Social Media on your phone (e.g. LinkedIn) and the Search Engines on your computer (e.g. Google). It is a technology that has of course been championed by these Silicon Valley tech giants, and has really begun to come into its own in recent years through a series of key drivers 1/ Ongoing improvements in the speed and cost of computer processing power and the growth in cloud computing, 2/ A huge increase in the amount of data available and 3/ the development and utilisation of sophisticated Machine Learning algorithms to train that data and make increasingly accurate and reliable predictions. The goal is to ensure that the country takes full advantage of these major global changes, improving people’s lives and the country’s productivity, and importantly this growth will not only come from larger organisations but when medium sized businesses embrace the opportunity as well.
