Behavioral AI Labs works with Fortune500 to unleash the power hidden in their audio and text data, to enhance their customers’ and employees’ communication and decision making. We work towards your eureka! moment and then we shorten the path from value discovery to service deployment. Our agile US-based team of Ph.D.s is trained on executing continuously on the discover-plan-build-deploy cycle, significantly shortening time to market, using our wealth of unique data resources, machine learning expertise, and Behavioral Signal’s AI platform.
Many R&D outfits out there claim to work on machine learning, natural language processing, speech recognition, voice-of-the-customer, etc. What makes us unique is our ability to detect signals from audio data associated with behaviors and traits that drive human decision making. Our decisions are conditioned by who we are (personality, morality), how we feel (emotion, mood, regulation), how we are perceived socially (status, dominance, raport), our goals and self-awareness (persuasion, awareness, attention). As the behavioral signal detection capabilities reach maturity and our emotion AI technology approaches human performance unique business opportunities arise. Understanding not only what you say but how you say it and what you mean is our secret sauce.

4 Steps to Value Deployment
Discover
Plan
Build
Deploy
During a 2h consultation, with senior researchers, we will discuss the problem you are trying to solve and create an assessment of the business opportunity
The next stage includes a 2 to 3-week technology feasibility study and initial experimentation providing an estimate of effort, data, and time needed to achieve the goal. Additionally, we will be able to review initial performance indicators and associated RoI. We will also define the API needed by the application developers.
The 3rd step involves development, in over a 2 to 3-month process, including the following phases:
i) data collection/annotation (if needed), feature and model engineering, performance optimization and validation,
ii) connect to the data store,
iii) build and test APIs
Produced APIs or MVPs are put to production and end-to-end performance is evaluated and monitored
Our solutions are based on open-source software and on the leading emotion and behavioral AI platform from Behavioral Signals and owned by the customer. Your data privacy is assured using only HIPPA/GDPR compliant cloud resources under your control.
