What does Thinking Machines do?

We’re a data science start-up that builds machine-learning and data platforms for organisations. Our primary goal is to create data culture for companies, and to do that, we work on one client at a time and help them understand and build out very practical and useful machine learning platforms It’s not inaccessible; it’s just a very new industry. We do a lot of public sector work and what we do there is build AI models on top of waste data and satellite imagery to generate things like poverty and population indicators across the Philippines.
