testAIng Solutions (tai) Launched Globally
A passionate and innovative group of entrepreneurs - Viepul Kocher, Dr. Srinivas Padmanabhuni, Saurabh Bansal, Rakesh Sharma - from industry and academia got together to conceive, and create *tai*. Very briefly, *tai* means ‘*testing AI*’ and ‘*testing with AI*’.
*Mr. Viepul Kocher*
On June 12, 2019, the founders announced the global launch of *tai*, which is the world's first AI-focused testing services company. *tai* operates from India (NOIDA, Bangalore, and Jodhpur), Germany, and Canada.
On the occasion, *Viepul Kocher*, a parallel entrepreneur and* tai’s Soul/Atma (आत्मा)* said, “The trigger for starting *tai* was two-fold. One, was the lack of focus on testing AI products; while the other was the unfulfilled desire of most test professionals to use AI in traditional testing.” He also added that going forward, “AI will be a part of most products and unless we develop tools, techniques, and processes for testing AI, we won't be contributing to safe AI usage.”
*Dr. Srinivas Padmanabhuni*
*Dr**. **Srinivas Padmanabhuni*, *tai*’s *Intellect/Buddhi (बुद्धि)*, while expounding the academic approach said, “*tai* combines the best of breed techniques from AI research, including metamorphic testing, generative models for testing, and adversarial testing.”
AI (Artificial Intelligence) is a disruptive technology affecting various industries such as healthcare, agriculture, manufacturing, call centers, energy & mining, and Intellectual Property (IP). AI usage is also a disruptive strategy in testing services.
AI applications have already become a part of our everyday life and our dependence on them is increasing exponentially. Traditionally, a lot of resources are used in testing an application or product before its release. However, there is a distinct lack of focus on testing AI components in applications.
*tai* addresses this lacuna. Its investments in researching AI testing have created *tai*’s core competence - skilled AI test professionals, AI-based tools and IP. In essence, *tai* is an end-to-end one-stop destination for all testing-related solutions for AI applications, products, and components.
*tai* serves the needs of AI application and system developers by:
· Using new AI research, its AI-based IP and tools to test AI systems, applications, and components.
· Using AI to manage the entire Test Life Cycle. For example, using AI to devise end-to-end test strategy; using AI to optimize conventional testing; and using AI to automate tests.
· Using AI to prepare and pre-process data for AI applications.
Very specifically, *tai’s* bouquet of service offerings includes:
· Consulting Services
· Testing AI Apps
· AI in Testing & Automation
· Data Wrangling Services
*tai*’s unique value proposition allows customers to build and release quality AI applications with an improved time to market and reduced cost of quality.
*tai* is already working with a few customers; the list includes: MoMAGIC Technologies, MyGate, KritiKal Solutions, and Mobilous.
Here is what two of our customers say:
*Shreyans Daga*, *Co-founder & Director of MyGate* says, “Thanks for your help in testing our mobile application. *tai* has been a great partner in helping us achieve our quality goals.”
*Dipinder Sekhon*, *Co-founder & CEO, KritiKal Solutions* says, “*tai* transformed the way we looked at testing. In a short time, they have become more than a vendor; they have become our partner in delivering quality in our AI and non-AI products.”
