Aboitiz Data Innovation has launched AVA AI, a Generative AI platform designed to enhance enterprise productivity by integrating seamlessly with existing systems and providing secure, actionable insights. The platform addresses data fragmentation and security challenges, offering personalized applications for various business needs.
24 July 2024 – Aboitiz Data Innovation (ADI), a pioneering Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (DSAI) startup headquartered in Singapore, has unveiled AVA AI, its Generative AI (GenAI) Platform designed to enhance productivity and decision-making for enterprises across public and private sectors. AVA AI seamlessly integrates into existing systems and manages complex workflows, enabling organizations to securely and efficiently derive valuable insights from their collective data.
As ADI looks to expand its presence in Southeast Asia, Malaysia has been identified as a key market. Ranked 23rd in the Government AI Readiness Index, Malaysia is committed to advancing AI through initiatives like AI untuk Rakyat (“AI for the People”), which aims to integrate AI across various sectors to improve public services, boost economic growth, and enhance quality of life.
Addressing Key Challenges with AVA AI
Enterprises often struggle with dispersed data across multiple sources, leading to missed insights and impaired strategic decision-making. Additionally, reliance on GenAI platforms that use publicly-available information can result in irrelevant or inaccurate answers and increased security risks. AVA AI tackles these issues by consolidating data, providing actionable insights, and boosting operational efficiency.
“Our mission is to make AI work for our clients and their stakeholders,” said Dr. David R. Hardoon, CEO of ADI. “AVA AI simplifies how enterprises interact with their data, streamlining processes and enhancing workflows to enable swift, informed decisions and uncover valuable insights.”
Features and Benefits of AVA AI
AVA AI features an enterprise-ready chat interface that allows users to interact with backend applications using natural language, either on-premise or via cloud. It intelligently extracts information from internal data sources, conducts web searches if needed, and integrates securely with existing systems. This capability enables context-aware conversations and crucial insights without the risk of misinformation.
To ensure data security, AVA AI employs robust encryption, granular access controls, and role-based access management. Audit trails enhance transparency and compliance, while usage analytics optimize workflows. Enterprises can also customize AVA AI agents to perform specialized tasks such as document parsing, accessing primary information sources, and integrating with enterprise APIs.
Practical Applications and Case Studies
A multilateral development bank, for example, utilizes AVA AI to manage multiple workstreams, meeting departmental needs through customized agents. AVA AI’s features include access to internal and external documents, support from multiple large language models (e.g., OpenAI GPT-4, Anthropic Claude 3, Meta Llama 3), synthesis of inputs from these models, quick summaries, and deployment of sector-specific agents for domain-specific queries.
Expert Teams and Strategic Partnerships
ADI’s cross-functional teams of data engineers, scientists, full-stack developers, and DevSecOps specialists ensure best practices and accelerate the platform’s operationalization and customization to meet enterprise goals.
“While GenAI has shown much promise in consumer use cases, AVA AI excels in personalized applications across enterprises and functions,” said Nicolas Paris, Chief Data & Technology Officer at ADI. “AVA AI’s advanced features are set to unlock new realms of efficiency, innovation, and strategic insights for enterprises.”
AVA AI is now available to enterprises across Southeast Asia, integrating with popular productivity suites like Google Workspace and Microsoft Office 365, and accessible via web browsers and platforms like Slack and Microsoft Teams.
Hailing from the Philippines’ Aboitiz tech conglomerate, ADI offers data science and AI solutions tailored for financial services, industrials, and public sectors. AVA AI joins ADI’s diverse product lineup, which includes Alternative Scoring, Transaction Monitoring, Customer Intelligence, and AI for Climate/ESG.
To further its mission, ADI is forging strategic partnerships across the industry, including recent collaborations with Cloudera and Amazon Web Services (AWS).
