"Cognitive Reasoning Platform. Less artificial, more intelligence

Rainbird is a cloud-based AI platform that enables anyone to capture their expertise on any subject and publish a virtual online expert with human-like decision making capabilities.

Rainbird was founded in 2013 by repeat tech entrepreneur turned Angel Investor JAMES DUEZ and ex-Adobe AI Computer Scientist BEN TAYLOR who met in a successful previous AI-powered startup.

Rainbird can be used whenever you need to create tools that diagnose problems, make recommendations or analyse data.

Traditionally, these kinds of expert systems are built by specialist software engineers. With Rainbird, no software engineering expertise is required. The expert themselves structures their own knowledge.

The Rainbird Marketplace enables you to connect, collaborate and trade your knowledge with others. When multiple knowledge bases are connected, Rainbird can make even smarter inferences often unlocking insights that were previous hidden to all.

Rainbird is one of a number of AI technologies (also referred to as cognitive technologies). It sits on O’Reilly’s Machine Intelligence Map and is rated by Business Insider as one of the most interesting AI technologies in the UK.

Rainbird is knowledge-agnostic but most projects are in financial services, banking, insurance and legal.

Rainbird ….is the only AI company selected as a partner by MasterCard.

The business has been recognised by the EDP Future 50, the Everline Future 50, Techstars and Pitch10. Rainbird also won the Tech City Insider award for the East of England.
