By allowing users to input their own data and set specific workflow rules, HIVA ensures that every outcome is tailor-made, providing results that resonate with the individual needs and objectives of each organization.

How we built it

Building HIVA was not just a technological endeavor; it was a symphony of interdisciplinary expertise coming together for a singular vision. At the helm of this project was a powerhouse team: business strategists with a finger on the market's pulse, PhDs in AI who understand the depths and nuances of machine learning, prompt engineering wizards, seasoned professors of data science, and last but not least, the FORGE developers , bringing in a wealth of platform-centric knowledge.

Our approach was rooted deeply in AI, but what set our journey apart was our dual perspective: we weren't just developers. As avid users of countless services ourselves, we critically evaluated market needs, pored over potential reports, and envisioned HIVA as the solution that the market didn't even know it was yearning for.

Over an agile planning period of 7 weeks, this melting pot of expertise formulated a unique implementation framework. This wasn't just any framework; it was the blueprint of our first MVP. With Atlassian as our core digitalization platform, we explored ways to augment the use-case benefits it provided. The sheer advantage of integrating LLM into enterprise systems through Atlassian is unmatched, thanks to functionalities that no current LLM software offers.

Our confidence in HIVA's capabilities was solidified after a pilot test at a consultancy firm, where we witnessed a staggering 80% boost in productivity. This wasn't just a win for us, but a testament to the transformative potential of our solution when anchored by Atlassian's robust platform.
