Key features & benefits of CLEAR® AI Platform:

Flexibility to innovate with no exclusive dependency on one vendor:
The CLEAR® AI Platform allows enterprises to combine AI from various providers and in-house developed AI engines to solve specific business use cases. This approach fosters independence and will enable businesses to diversify their AI resources, mitigating risks associated with vendor exclusivity. Enterprises also have the option to connect any new third-party engines of their choice and quickly integrate them into the Platform. This enables them to create new visualizations, expose APIs, and accelerate innovation by switching on/off the engines used.

Elegant UI for data visualization and insights:
The CLEAR® AI Platform has an intuitive UI for visualizing data and insights, seamlessly adaptable to M&E workflows. This UI offers meaningful representations of AI-generated data and provides the necessary tools to employ this data in real-world M&E use cases effectively.

Smart optimizations, best for run-time deployments:
The CLEAR® AI Platform comes equipped with smart optimizations that utilize existing data and generate AI data only when necessary. This will deliver maximum cost savings on a run-time basis.   

Cloud-scale Ready:
It leverages highly optimized cloud technologies to create, test, and deploy cost-efficient AI solutions, including just-in-time scaling and minimal overheads. This approach guarantees rapid processing speeds and smooth handling of workload bursts, all while maintaining optimal cost management on the cloud.

Metering and Analytics:
The Platform incorporates detailed metering capabilities per workflow, service, and per-function basis. This empowers users to gain valuable insights into AI-related cost allocations, optimization opportunities, and enhanced control over their AI usage.

Security:
The Platform has enterprise-grade security features tailored for M&E organizations. It includes built-in capabilities for user management, administration, file management, and more right out of the box.

Consulting and Services:
The Platform comes with a choice to use consulting services that allow enterprises to leverage our high-caliber AI team. These experts can collaborate with your in-house teams to foster innovation in AI integrations, create new AI models, oversee Machine Learning operations, design custom user interfaces, integrate Generative AI, and deliver timely engineering support.
