Welcome to our showcase of AI-powered innovative products and services. The current AI product explosion continues, but many are set to fail over the next few years. This handpicked list includes partners that meet our criteria for value, plus some homegrown “launchpad” or “alpha” ideas that test new propositions, redesigning how people and businesses can leverage AI at scale.
We look beyond software, showcasing ideas in areas such as bioengineering and clean energy, as well. The combination of AI and technology is also revolutionising how we unlock breakthroughs in these fields, with enormous potential to improve people’s quality of life.
How do we ensure the AI innovation is something people want?
There are two key parts to our shortlisting methods:
Firstly, we look for evidence that the product or service has automated a niche problem or service using Agentic or similar processes, focusing on the most challenging part of Autonomous capabilities—the ability to create Eval systems that are truly autonomous, scalable, and generate productivity gains without significant side effects.
Secondly, we scorecard evidence that the product or technology has key capabilities with measurable positive impacts: Clear outcomes (e.g. faster by 50%), Accuracy, Human-in-the-loop guardrails, Privacy and security, Transparency, Seamless integration, Vendor viability.
