AI SOLUTIONS FOR
COMPLEX BUSINESS
PROBLEMS.

What we do

Practical AI.
Built around your business.

We help organisations understand how AI can be implemented within their business and support the adoption process through software development, integration, and support.

How we benefit clients

Drive efficiency and performance

Build capability

Create lasting value

How we work together

A focused project.
Or a long-term partnership.

Using our technology platform, we have the existing capability to rapidly configure prototype solutions for early hands-on understanding and testing.

Who we are

With a multi-year track record in producing AI systems and roots in Oxford University LLM research, we are an agile team interested in leading-edge solutions.

Introducing the platform

ALMANAC

Build and operate
bespoke AI systems.

ALBATROSS / ALMANAC

Explore the
platform.

Almanac is our platform and methodology for developing, deploying and maintaining bespoke AI systems. It combines our software libraries that are highly configurable for specific applications, using AI technologies for information collection, storage, and analysis, as well as automated support agents for live applications. We use these capabilities to build around your data and operating requirements, enabling us to move quickly from prototype to production.

Our approach

Built with
your team.

Together with your industry knowledge, our expertise, and Almanac's capabilities and building blocks, we can move quickly through definition, prototyping and deployment.

We start with the decision or workflow, not with a piece of technology. We work backwards to understand what information matters, how experienced people interpret it and where the process breaks down. Then we turn that judgement into software that can collect, analyse and present information at scale.

Almanac means we do not have to rebuild the underlying machinery each time, allowing us to tackle problems that are too bespoke for off-the-shelf software and too information-intensive to solve manually.

01

Define the problem

Assess the current landscape, agree on an approach, and define the outcome.

02

Rapid prototype

Almanac's capabilities enable us to configure rapid prototypes for early hands-on testing, to best understand and define the eventual solution.

03

Operational system

Using the learnings from the prototype, we build a secure and robust solution that can be trusted to provide real value.

04

Implementation

We support the system rollout across your team, ensuring users are properly trained and equipped to integrate it into their day-to-day workflows.

05

Support

Using our proprietary support agents within Almanac, system support costs are minimised. Human first-line support is still available where necessary.

Viant Traffic

Sales intelligence platform in big infrastructure

Bespoke bid collection, analysis and qualification software platform used in the lead generation process for a large US infrastructure company.

We developed Scout with Viant Traffic to identify infrastructure projects that match the traffic-control products it supplies. Scout collects project notices and bid documents from a large array of government and state websites and stores the bids themselves and important extracted information within the application. It examines detailed requirements and assesses opportunities against configurable rules and commercial criteria for each business unit within Viant Traffic.

The sales team receives a qualification assessment for each project's suitability to the business, as well as key bid information such as value, opening and expiry dates, contacts, and technical asset requirements. Furthermore, the bid documents are annotated to highlight important sections and information, and the user is supplied with a decision-making trail, justifying qualifications and providing links to supporting evidence. Staff can review the evidence, correct an assessment if necessary and decide which projects to pursue without reconstructing the research themselves. In use across the wider Viant Traffic group, Scout had processed more than 230,000 documents as of August 2026.

Acelo

Sales intelligence and automated outreach

Bespoke sales intelligence software developed with Acelo to identify prospects, track potential customers and produce tailored outreach.

We worked with Acelo to build a platform that collects large volumes of information from LinkedIn and wider web sources at low cost. It brings this information together, filters it against sales criteria and tracks prospective customers over time, recommending which organisations and individuals to approach.

The platform combines this prospect research with the business’s own knowledge to generate tailored outreach materials and messages. It draws on relevant expertise and information about what the business offers, using the research behind each recommendation to make the approach specific to the prospect.

This connects prospect identification and outreach in one application, reducing the manual work involved in gathering information, selecting targets and preparing relevant messages.

Provided consulting services to a UK data analytics company for applying LLM technology to aerospace and rotorcraft data analytics programmes.

Albatross have a partnership with Tonic Analytics to provide AI consultancy into their leading-edge machine learning data analytics programmes.

The consultancy has supported projects including aerospace predictive maintenance platforms, where our work has demonstrated how language models can add a new analytical layer to the specialist systems.

Our specialist knowledge has also supported engagements with rotorcraft regulation advocacy groups in the US. We have provided demonstrators for AI research and data gathering tools that are used to support lobbyists in Congress.

Digital Futures

AI research and governance software

Support for a UK software company's proprietary platform for understanding how AI is used within an organisation, where it can be used more effectively, and the applicable regulatory landscape.

We are working with Digital Futures to develop Athena, a platform for understanding how AI is used within an organisation and where it could be used more effectively. The design brings together employee accounts and organisational records to establish what AI does, what information it handles and how its outputs influence the work.

Athena is being designed to connect this evidence to relevant legal and internal requirements, controls and competencies, and compare current practice with Digital Futures' reference model. By keeping the record current as tools and responsibilities change, the aim is to give organisations a practical basis for oversight, training and further investment in AI.

Albatross have been brought in to handle key complex aspects of the system, providing designs and prototype software, eventually to be migrated into the wider platform.
