Digital Sense

Applied AI research turned into products

Digital Sense, a studio built on applied research, concentrates on artificial intelligence, especially machine learning and computer vision. The company describes its approach as applied research, meaning it discovers new methods and then applies them to a client's problem. It says it has more than fifteen years in the field, and its work runs from first proof-of-concept builds to software that fits inside a client's own products.

The studio says its team includes PhD holders and people with master's degrees, and that its published articles are peer reviewed, in keeping with its academic roots. It also says it holds patents in the United States and the European Union.

Computer vision projects in retail, fitness and agriculture

The studio's published project examples show the range of its work. For Ulta Beauty it built an augmented reality make-up try-on experience. For Tonal it worked on a way of training at home. For Montes del Plata it applied AI to make the use of water in forestry irrigation more efficient. The studio also describes a custom optical character recognition module for mobile apps on iOS and Android.

Services from data science to managed teams

The service areas are machine learning, data science, generative AI, language models and natural language processing, computer vision and remote sensing. Remote sensing means spotting shifts in the environment and converting them into data a business can use. The studio offers AI consulting to organizations that want to adopt AI or expand their use of it, and it runs proof-of-concept and minimum viable product work, so an idea can be checked before full development begins.

Managed teams and custom software

For clients who need more capacity, the studio offers a fully managed team of specialists that extends the client's own staff. It also builds custom software that can be integrated into existing systems, which it presents as the route beyond pre-packaged AI components.
