About Reboot
Reboot.AI is Hong Kong's premiere machine learning and artificial intelligence solutions provider
Formation
Reboot.AI began in August 2017, when Dhruv Sahi and Matt O'Connor recognized Hong Kong's gulf between acadmic talent within AI and business needs for applied AI. Their pragmatic, results oriented approach to empowering companies and indiviudals to apply cutting edge technologies to actual business problems quickly caught hold, and since its formation Reboot has helped local and international companies alike build, deploy, and prepare for the Data Economy.
Philosophy
In all the buzz words, people forget AI, Blockchain, machine learning, etc. are tools to build solutions- not solutions themselves. In everything we do, we recognize that building the right solution for the right problem is the difference between applications which fail in the real world and applications which change the world. Our model of applied data scientists supported by domain specific experts ensures that cutting edge solutions are designed, developed, and deployed for maximum results.
