Generative AI Gives Mountain Gorillas a Voice in Global Conservation
Understanding Gorilla Preferences at Scale Was Impossible with Manual Analysis Alone
Understanding and acting on the preferences of mountain gorillas in Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park at scale, while creating economic systems that benefit non-human species alongside humans.
Claude 3.5 Sonnet via AWS Bedrock Processes Gorilla Behavioral Data at Expert-Level Accuracy
Adastra implemented AWS services including serverless execution and storage infrastructure. The team deployed Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Sonnet model via Amazon Bedrock to process behavioural data from gorillas, synthesising academic and observational datasets to identify species-specific preferences.
Expert-Level Gorilla Preference Analysis Enabled — and the First Non-Human Digital Transactions
The system successfully identified gorilla preferences at a level matching human expert accuracy, with significantly greater efficiency than manual analysis. This enabled the first-ever digital financial transactions conducted by a non-human species.
"Together with AWS we have made the first step in a multigenerational journey where AI can help us better understand the interests of other species — not just humans."Jonathan Ledgard, Co-founder and CEO, Tehanu

Machine Learning Models Reduce Customer Churn at Socialbakers
Blindspot built multiple ML models to predict which customers were most likely to churn next month, enabling Socialbakers to proactively intervene with targeted retention strategies and measurably improve their retention rate.
Criminal Behavior Model Powers Effective Patrolling Routes and Strategies
Blindspot collected crime and demographic data to build a machine learning model of criminal behavior, integrated directly into Avata's intelligence-led policing platform to help law enforcement allocate resources more effectively.
Automated Inspector Scheduling Reduces TÜV SÜD Planning Team by 33%
Managing inspector dispatch across multiple China hubs via Excel was no longer viable at scale. Blindspot replaced the fragmented process with a centralised scheduling platform, cutting the scheduling team from six to four and handling peak seasons without bottlenecks.
