Three colleagues sat round a table in an office smiling and laughing together.

Combining the best of both worlds…

Aiplusus: The Rise of the Smart Machine

“There is nothing permanent except change.” — Heraclitus

The world has gone mad for AI!

Some are all for it.

When ChatGPT burst onto the scene, it was like Christmas had arrived. Many couldn’t wait to get their hands on the new, shiny toy. They got it to draft their CVs, conduct their research and formulate their email correspondence. However, many did this without first understanding the privacy and data implications or indeed its accuracy. We all have anecdotes about OpenAi fails!

Many businesses will have felt the pressure to “get with the AI trend.” Some will have invested in AI software which ultimately didn’t benefit their business at all! We heard of one case whereby a company adopted AI to automate their marketing emails. However, it didn’t carry out the ‘intelligent’ part i.e. figuring out and composing specific messaging with each client. It was just automation, but with an AI price tag!

Others are completely adverse.

Three developers in an office sat around a computer in conversation

Hollywood came to a standstill. SAG-AFTRA — the actor’s union — went on strike. They were campaigning for production companies to provide their members with “consent, compensation and transparency with regard to digital replicas and generative A.I. systems used to create synthetic performances.” They felt helpless and worried that they were out of a job.

News got out that tech giant Meta was going to let AI lose on their users’ social media accounts. (Rest assured — you can opt out!) Striking fear into the hearts of many, Instagram stories became a hub of doom, gloom and fear, evocative of the chain letters of old!

The reality is AI is here to stay. However, for it to be effective it needs to work with us — not against us! It needs human input and guidance.

Aiplusus was born.

AI Software Development

Chatbots and Cognitive Assistants

Filter the workload of your human agents

Virtual agents can translate run-of-the-mill customer queries. Using natural language, they can deal with them in a meaningful way, all in a matter of seconds. Your human agents can focus on more complex, unprecedented queries. Their answers can build up a repertoire of responses that the virtual agents can learn from.

Intelligent Processing Automation

Increase productivity and operational efficiency

AI cannot imitate all human behaviours— it does not sleep, forget or lose focus! Intelligent processing automation can operate 24/7. It will flag any and all anomalies in data. Reduced errors and increased productivity, leads to happy customers and more lucrative outcomes. It doesn’t replace your employees, it releases them to do more fulfilling tasks!

Human Behaviour Tracking

Get to know your target audience quicker

AI can track and recognise patterns in human movement and behaviours. Using this information, it can provide helpful insights. On one hand, it can highlight opportunities to optimise a customer's experience. On the other, it can serve as a warning - flagging suspicious activity such as fraud and hacking.

Dataset Analysis

Be the frontrunner in your field

Predictive algorithms process data in real‑time. They can also generate accurate insights and forecasting. As a result, your business can make more informed decisions. You can take preventative — rather than reactive — courses of action. You can seize any business opportunity that comes your way with confidence and speed.

 AI Case Study Spotlight

The Brief

To build a global, online, English language testing platform.

The Challenge

Providing online testing at scale, raises a good question. How do you invigilate and prevent candidates cheating?

The Solution

We developed an entirely new and rigorously comprehensive AI engine to proctor online tests. We thoroughly considered all the possible methods of cheating. We mitigated them, by using various AI technologies all via video camera.

Facial recognition as well as audio and screen recordings, detect whether a candidate is receiving help from another person or referring to notes or resources.

Plagiarism checks report on the originality of the content submitted, flagging up answers copied from another source or generated by AI.

Offline handling deters candidates from cheating when the internet goes down. They have three minutes to get back online, or the test ends. If lost a second time, they have the balance of time left after the previous connection loss to finish.

The Results

An award-winning AI EdTech platform! Our use of AI technologies to provide robust and fair academic testing, is unique, complex and unprecedented! It has enabled English language testing to be provided at scale, across the globe.

So far…

  • University partners doubled

  • Huge growth amongst international agents

  • 10 new test centres built across the globe

  • Substantial growth in student numbers

…and continues to grow!
