AI Superior

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the founder and CEO of Firnas Aero, a drone system service provider for B2B and B2G clients, in areas of inspection, surveillance, and delivery.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire AI Superior, and what were your goals?

For one of our large semi-governmental customers, we were required to build an automated analytical pipeline to analyze drone images and detect various objects on the ground. We appointed AI Superior for creating this automated pipeline since we were confident in their exceptional capabilities and excellence when it comes to machine learning development.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

Since it was a very important project, we were selecting vendors very carefully. We approached multiple companies communicating our requirements but they were just unable to provide a suitable solution motivating it to have an “extremely high level of complexity”. When we approached AI Superior, we could instantly recognize that these guys know their job well.

They showed us several demos of existing systems they have built and then could directly demonstrate how their analytical components work with our data. They conducted a quick feasibility study that was very convincing. The guys from AI Superior were transparent and openly shared all the details about the potential project, technologies, risks, etc. It was very clear to me that it was the right vendor to work with. In the end, it turned out that it was the right decision to go with them.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

The scope of work included developing the whole system starting from data ingestion and ending up with results representation. So, the AI Superior team developed all the infrastructural components to manage data in a cloud, created a computer vision model to detect required objects from drone images, and designed a GIS dashboard to consume all the results – one could click on markers, see detected objects, provide additional information, etc. So, in the end, it was a very interactive system that didn’t require any specific knowledge from the user to work with it.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We were lucky to work directly with their principal data scientist who was leading the project. He was able to convey all the information on the level that was comfortable to us and dive into details when required. Overall, it was 5 people involved in the project: two data scientists, a data engineer, a software developer, and a project lead.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

The project resulted in a significantly positive ROI since the solution allowed to automate many processes where a human would be involved. The final customer was extremely satisfied with the overall solution and reported significant savings by utilizing it.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

We had constant interaction with the project lead and when required having a tech person in our syncs. The process was organized in a scrum fashion, we had a sync call every two weeks to discuss progress and specify details. The team was always responsive and available to have an extra call when we requested them to communicate some new project details, etc.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

The AI Superior team is very professional and competent — they could guide and consult us through the whole process. I like their open communication style, it was very comfortable to work with them.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

I don’t see that something could be done differently. You always see what you are paying for since the quality of the delivery is exceptional and the overall experience is on the top level.
