At Xorigin, we are combining our foundational expertise as professional engineers and designers to work with AI tools since LLM and Image Recognition and SD was first introduced. We have been using AI to optimise general business and video production workflows, write software, copy edit, podcasts episode planning, curriculum development and to create complex tender documents and responses, legal papers, tone setting in correspondence, ideation and script development and editing.
We have over 500 hours of hands-on prompt engineering experience and are undertaking a major AI software development build in 2023-24, including image recognition and especially difficult abstract image recognition and model training. In the past we have managed IT builds up to A$1.3M in product delivery and finance, and now have assembled a highly skilled, fast and efficient international development team.
Our experience includes locally-run stable diffusion models (not exposing data or ideas on the public internet) ), self prompting AI and generative Agents managing multiple AI tools including ChatGPT, GPT4, HuggingFace and more.
