Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Complete Text Segmentation by Articles:

• The PDF text has been correctly extracted and segmented based on the articles. This means that the content has been restructured from being organized by pages to being divided by articles.
• Titles, Subtitles, and Authors Identification:
• Titles (or article headlines) have been successfully identified based on their font size across the pages. However, the extraction of subtitles and author names is still pending or incomplete.

Main Article Image Detection:

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Our product is an all-in-one software for solar panel installers. My role is Head of Product - I am responsible for aligning the product vision with the business vision + leading the product team.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire MindCraft.ai, and what were your goals?

We hired MindCraft to do R&D data science projects with us. Mostly they are connected with lidar data and building 3D models from it.

SOLUTION

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

We successfully worked with some of the employees from MindCraft in past.

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

We started with the development of automatical calculation of roof inclination based on the lidar data. This project has been released and our clients are super happy with the result. After this we went to the development of the calculation of shadow impact on the solar panels. Right now we are busy building 3D models. The goal is automatical solar panel placement.

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

Five people. Project Manager Alex, Data Scientists Dmytro, Volodymyr, Wald and Andy

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The first project which we did together with Mind Craft is released. The auto roof angle calculation was already requested 100k + times in 2 months of production time. Our clients confirm that it dramatically simplifies the installation of solar panels because the result is very close to the real values and they no longer need to climb on the roof to measure it to be able to calculate how many panels will fit.

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

Alex is a very responsible person. He sounds very strict, but at the same time, he is also very agile and always asks for feedback and reacts fast to it.

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

The quality of their work and dedication to the project are impressive.

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

Maybe hire more people in order to be able to pick up more projects at the same time

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the co-founder of a German consulting and software development company specializing in Big Data and AI. Our main clients include banks, industrial companies, telecommunications providers, and more.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with MindCraft.ai?

We needed support on some of our AI projects, specifically around consulting and implementation.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We started with MindCraft.ai’s consulting services to determine what our customers need and how we can fulfill those needs. After that, we started with proofs of concept in this area, implementing the first solutions. We’re also creating mathematical models for implementing software with their help using AWS and Azure for these solutions.

In the beginning, we went through a discovery phase with MindCraft.ai and our customer to find out what we need to do and what makes sense. After that, we had the first round of implementation with a POC, which lasted 8–12 weeks. During this time, we created the first version of the software to test out if it will work. We’re now trying to move forward to the actual development of the product.

What is the team composition?

Three people from MindCraft.ai supported us;  two data scientists and a project manager.

How did you come to work with MindCraft.ai?

We found them through Google and contacted them. We had some meetings and decided to try them out.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in June 2020, and our collaboration is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

Their team is professional, efficient, and creative. In the field of AI, you don’t always know what you’re going to get, and you have to be creative to find the right solution through different approaches, which MindCraft.ai is very good at.

How did MindCraft.ai perform from a project management standpoint?

Communication is clear and transparent.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The quality of their services is good, and our customer has been satisfied.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t think there’s anything they can improve on — I’ve had experiences working with other IT providers, and I would say that our experience with MindCraft.ai is the best.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be clear and descriptive about what you want to be done, and provide plenty of background information.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO and co-founder of Squirro, a machine learning and analytics company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with MindCraft.ai?

We were looking for external talent to develop a clustering software for a news aggregation service.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

MindCraft.ai is offering a service that allows us to group similar news stories into one cluster. We worked on the approach to the solution together, and they came up with a proof of concept in 3-5 days.

The next step is for MindCraft.ai to build the MVP. We will then go into full production rollout. The POC included only minimal components of software. The MVP will include a lot more software, including algorithmic methods. They will program it using Python, which will be integrated into our own analytics platform.

What is the team composition?

I work primarily with three people.

How did you come to work with MindCraft.ai?

We received a lot of inbound requests from companies that wanted to work with us. We gave them a work package description with a simple ask to come back with a half-baked solution on how to solve such a work package. 

MindCraft.ai was one of the few ones that replied with a half-baked solution approach to our RFI. Most of the outsourcing companies had no clue.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent less than $10,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in March 2020 and the work is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

They have a high degree of perseverance. We disassembled their first solution approach to a large degree and they were good sports about it. 

If we challenge them, MindCraft.ai takes the feedback in a positive way to actually come back with a response that makes the overall solution significantly better. That quality is rare in software.

How did MindCraft.ai perform from a project management standpoint?

We forced them to use our project management tools. We integrated them into our current sprint setup with daily standups, biweekly sprint planning, etc. We use instant messaging as well. We have sprint reviews over Zoom.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Most third-party service providers are all about trying to bill you another day rate. With MindCraft.ai, they took the actual challenge seriously and provided good solutions.

Are there any areas they could improve?

My native language isn’t English so there’s always a bit of a language issue.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

It’s too early to say until they deliver the MVP.
