Helping business evolve with AI
AI is here to stay and it is changing the competitive landscape. AI tools and apps bring great value for organisations, their clients, people and shareholders.
Businesses need to evolve, to adapt to a world with AI, and to benefit from it.
At Darwin, we believe in a “start small and prove value fast” approach.
With almost 10 years of experience in building AI driven applications, tools and businesses, we are a boutique AI team combining strong business and AI engineering skills to make it happen, step by step. Come and talk to us.
Our Team
After working on multiple software projects, both separately and together, Rui and Tarek decided to found Darwin AI.
Their experience covered both specific apps and tools and large, AI first platforms making a broad use of different types of AI technologies - Conversational AI, Generative AI, Agentic AI, Machine Learning, Personalisation and Optimisation.
They saw that businesses had a real need for strategic and operational guidance on how to evolve and adapt to the new AI landscape. And they also felt that new AI tools enabled software development to be radically accelerated, for a quick delivery and fast ROI.
AI is a multi layered revolution: the new apps and tools - which are used to reconfigure organisations for the AI age - contain AI technology AND the development of these tools draws strongly on new AI driven development methodologies.
Rui Teixeira Guerra
