About The Customer
Apollo is designed for companies seeking to develop functional conversational agents with high levels of accuracy, safety, and performance. It is particularly beneficial for large corporates that require AI systems capable of handling complex tasks while adhering to industry regulations and ethical guidelines. Apollo's neuro-symbolic architecture allows for fine-tuning agents to meet the unique needs of any industry, company, and use case. By combining generative AI with rule-based reasoning, Apollo offers a powerful solution for organizations looking to enhance their digital expertise, improve productivity, and increase customer satisfaction. Its ability to continuously learn and adapt through human feedback makes it an ideal choice for businesses aiming to stay ahead in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
The Challenge
Traditional transformer-based language models face significant challenges when used as agents. These models, while excellent at pattern recognition and language generation, struggle with transparency, controllability, predictability, tool use, and fine-tuning. The opaque nature of their reasoning processes makes it difficult to trace how they arrive at specific outputs, posing challenges in industries where explainability is crucial. Additionally, these models lack precise control over outputs, leading to unpredictable and inconsistent responses. They also face difficulties in integrating and using tools effectively, often resulting in formatting errors and failed executions. Fine-tuning these models for specific tasks is problematic, as it lacks granularity and is not well-suited for dynamic environments where continuous learning and adaptation are essential.
The Solution
Apollo introduces a neuro-symbolic approach, merging neural networks with symbolic reasoning to create a hybrid model that understands and generates language while structuring its reasoning process. This approach allows Apollo to incorporate explicit rules into its inferences and receive structured feedback on each reasoning component. The model's inference process includes both generative and rule-based elements, enabling native tool use, controllability, predictability, and continuous fine-tuning. Apollo's structured interaction state, a symbolic representation of each interaction, captures contextual nuances and enables advanced reasoning. This structured state is human and machine-readable, facilitating transparency and ease of interpretation. By bridging the gap between neural networks and symbolic logic, Apollo offers explainability, modularity, rule integration, and data efficiency, making it a superior choice for developing AI agents.

SET Creative Ditches Google Vault for Datto Backupify
When Kienholz first started at SET, the staff was using Microsoft Outlook for email with no form of data backup. It became apparent that something needed to change as the staff was often burdened with trying to recover emails from departed employees. Kienholz transitioned the team to Google’s Gmail and implemented Google Vault for backup purposes. While SET employees quickly adjusted to Gmail, which many use for personal email, the same could not be said for Google Vault. “Unlike most Google products, Vault was not user friendly at all. It’s very hard to search for items. We never really figured out how to do a restore either,” explained Kienholz. Due to SET’s work with high-profile brands, projects often go through many rounds of revisions right down to the eleventh hour. This means that every bit of information - especially data living in project managers’ emails - is crucial to delivering clients a polished design at deadline.

Infosys achieves a 5–7 percent effort reduction across projects
Infosys, a global leader in consulting, technology, and outsourcing solutions, was facing significant challenges in application development and maintenance due to its distributed teams, changing business priorities and the need to stay in alignment with customer needs. The company used a mix of open source, home-grown and third-party applications to support application development projects. However, challenges resulting from distributed teams using manual processes increased as the company grew. It became more and more important for Infosys to execute its projects efficiently, so they could improve quality, reduce defects and minimize delays.

Sawback IT and Datto Save Client From a Costly Mistake
Ballistic Echo, a software development house, faced a critical challenge when human error led to the deletion of thousands of lines of unique code. This incident occurred before the code was pushed to source control, resulting in significant loss of time, revenue, and work. The previous file-level backup solution they used was slow and inefficient, making it nearly impossible to manually recreate the lost work. The need for a more reliable and efficient business continuity solution became evident to avoid such disasters in the future.

Opal Helps Customers Shine Thanks to Datto
SP Flooring & Design Center faced a ransomware attack that encrypted and locked their files. The attack was initiated through a compromised service account set up by an outside vendor. The ransomware infection was isolated quickly, but there was a concern about the extent of the data at risk. The company had backups in place but was unsure of how much information was compromised. The situation required immediate action to prevent further damage and restore the affected data.

Zapier Aggregates Multiple Analytics in a Single Dashboard with the New Relic Platform
Zapier, a company that enables non-technical users to push data between hundreds of web applications, was facing a challenge in automating and provisioning servers for optimal performance. The company's environment consisted of 50 Linux servers on the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), a Django application split across several servers, and a backend consisting of a dynamic number of celery task workers fed by messages published to a RabbitMQ cluster. They also maintained a number of internal web services on nginx in front of Gunicorn and Node.js processes. Redis handled simple key and value stores, with logging handled by Graylog2 and ElasticSearch. However, they realized that no level of automation would be sufficient without an effective monitoring solution in place. They needed a tool that could provide immediate alerts when something was breaking and could be easily implemented into their environment.
