Webgains further Humanises AI R&D
- Webgains seals exclusive new digital partnership with world AI experts to
'Humanise' sales launches -
LONDON, 09 October 2018: Today international hi-performance affiliate marketing
network Webgains - www.webgains.com - announces a new creative, technical &
knowledge transfer partnership with London-based Humanise.AI, one of the
world's most innovative & experienced Artificial Intelligence & Machine
Learning consultancies.
Already working on several AI-driven projects and feature developments to
accelerate internal process & marketplace efficiencies via its existing
relationship with IBM, Webgains is now looking to broaden its reach into this
area through a number of parallel solution providers and across a number of
difference use cases.
As part of the exclusive deal, a number of Webgains' technical employees will
be embedded inside and alongside the London-based Humanise.AI team to help
guide and inform the conceptual understandings on both sides as well as help
train and launch the resulting technologies.
On top of this, Duncan Anderson, CEO of Humanise.AI and ex-CTO (Europe) of IBM
Watson will be engaged as technical adviser working alongside Webgains R&D
product & development teams based in Bristol UK.
Among the first projects to be tackled will be new AI driven processes and
systems to significantly reduce the TTL (time to live) for new advertisers to
promote their online products and services to the Webgains global network using
a 'hybrid' mix of human interaction supported by Artifical Intelligence and
Machine Learning capabilities.
Duncan Anderson, CEO at Humanise.AI, comments, "Since Webgains declared their
interest in using new AI-driven technologies & processes last year we've been
heavily involved in helping them plan and develop all kinds of exploratory
projects and pilot schemes to see where our expertise and experience can help.
We're really excited to be in a position to help Webgains use both our deep
experience and the technical platform that we've invested heavily in
developing. Together we're now accelerating the journey to bring conversational
and artificial intelligence technologies to the heart of the Webgains
business."
Richard Dennys, CEO of Webgains, comments, "This exclusive partnership is a
natural fit for us. Our engineers are super excited to be working with such a
leading edge team. The whole performance marketing industry is notorious for
extended times-to-launch. As part of our internal process review we worked out
that from signing a contract to going live could take up to one year in worst
cases, involving over 100 separate activities. Our early AI driven pilot work
on this has seen in some cases this reduced to days, hours and in one case just
minutes. When we are launching up to 100 new advertisers per month these
efficiencies really add up to a significant aggregation of marginal gains."
This partnership extends the push into the world of Artificial Intelligence for
Webgains, who in 2017 was the world's first affiliate network to enter a
research partnership with IBM.
Webgains will be further showcasing their AI explorations in a session at this
years Performance In Live show in London on October 15^th.
