Aboitiz Data Innovation (ADI), the data science and artificial intelligence (DSAI) arm of the Aboitiz Group, has announced the launch of AVA AI, a Generative AI (GenAI) platform that promises to enhance productivity for enterprises in both the public and private sectors.
AVA AI is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing systems, handle complex workflows, and provide secure and efficient access to insightful data.
Enterprises often struggle with data spread across multiple sources, leading to missed insights and hindered decision-making. GenAI platforms that rely solely on publicly available data can generate irrelevant or inaccurate information, posing security risks. AVA AI addresses these challenges by consolidating data and offering actionable insights, potentially improving organizational efficiency and decision-making.
“In line with our mission to make AI work for our clients and their stakeholders, we designed AVA AI with the sole purpose in mind of simplifying how enterprises interact with their data,” said Dr. David Hardoon, CEO of ADI. “By streamlining processes and enhancing workflows, we enable them to not only make informed decisions swiftly and efficiently, but also to uncover valuable insights.”
AVA AI interface
AVA AI features an enterprise-ready chat interface that allows users to interact with backend applications using natural language. It can extract information from internal sources, search the web when necessary, and integrate with existing systems securely. This enables teams to have context-aware conversations and generate crucial insights without the risk of misinformation.
The platform ensures data security through robust encryption and granular access controls, complying with industry standards to mitigate external threats and regulatory risks. Internally, role-based access control restricts access to sensitive data to specific users. Audit trails record all platform interactions, enhancing transparency and compliance, while usage analytics support decision-making and workflow optimization.
Enterprises can customize AVA AI agents — programs capable of specialized tasks such as document parsing, accessing primary information sources, and integrating with enterprise APIs. This capability allows AVA AI to handle complex operational tasks using the enterprise’s private data and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) technology to provide evidence-backed answers, eliminating irrelevant or inaccurate input.
Customization
ADI’s cross-functional teams, including data engineers, data scientists, full-stack developers, and DevSecOps specialists, ensure the best practices throughout the platform’s implementation and customization. Their expertise accelerates the operationalization of AVA AI according to enterprise needs and goals.
To illustrate, a multilateral development bank utilizes AVA AI to manage multiple workstreams, tailoring the platform to meet each department’s needs. AVA AI offers personalized capabilities such as access to internal and internet documents, support from multiple large language models (for example, OpenAI GPT-4, Anthropic Claude 3, Meta Llma 3), quick summaries, and sector-specific agents for domain-specific queries.
