ICAEW
Enhancing CX for 200k+ members with Gen AI.
The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) had built a chatbot, Mia, to support its members with learning-based enquiries. Mia started life as a mechanical bot that required the human creation and maintenance of hundreds of hierarchical intents. ICAEW’s roadmap for Mia was heavily focussed on enhancing user experience and reducing the operational overhead entailed in support.
We worked closely with ICAEW to build a conversational, value-first engagement bot with a personality, boundaries and tight connectivity with the underlying Large Language Model. Automated source document chunking and embedding has replaced manual intent generation. Mia now offers ‘ask me anything’ customer interaction and deeper, contextual engagement built on conversation history. Operationally, thanks to an automated approach to updates, efforts now focus on refining the customer experience, freeing teams to spend time on other ICAEW projects.

Gen AI strategy.
Define where and how to apply Generative AI across your business for maximum impact with minimum risk.
Generative AI (Gen AI) offers transformative value to businesses, commoditising capabilities like summarisation, automation, deep search and content production to increasing revenue and/ or lowering costs. To capitalise on this potential and keep pace with the competition, organisations have to rapidly acquire the experience and skill to deliver value with Gen AI, while tackling issues such as ethics and bias, hallucinations, grounding, security and alignment with business objectives.
We help you build accessible, deliverable Gen AI strategies based on your maturity and readiness. Our senior leaders run innovation workshops with your teams to shape your ‘north star’ and build actionable roadmaps that drive innovation, efficiency and growth, underpinned by our strong technology service capabilities.

Ideation and proof of value.
Revolutionise business processes and outcomes through creative ideation and effective implementation.
One in six UK organisations have already embraced at least one AI use case, from data analysis to natural language processing and creative content generation (Forbes 2023). But defining your first or next use case is tough - and proving its value even more so.
We help you ensure you only build Gen AI solutions that directly contribute to business success. Our design thinking approach helps you explore and prioritise Gen AI use cases, validating their viability across risk, reward and complexity. We then build functional and technical blueprints and use case prototypes through our Gen AI Accelerators and highly skilled engineering teams that prove real-world value to your business.

AI engineering.
Accelerate through ideation to production with our AI-specialised data scientists, engineers and architects.
Businesses typically struggle to find the right skills for their Gen AI projects. Attracting quality talent can be exhausting in a highly competitive market and cyclical project requirements make it difficult to keep experts engaged. New challenges with AI implementations require more than just technical expertise, demanding experience, a coherent end-to-end approach to product delivery and clarity on critical considerations like Responsible AI.
We work with your existing solutions and tech, applying AI where it will deliver the most value and impact, from AI-powered chatbots and personalisation to new deep search and data analysis capabilities. Our Gen AI-specialised data scientists, engineers and architects are supported by our deep digital expertise across data and analytics, experience design, cloud infrastructure and application development.
