AI Roots supporting Groke Technologies with AI
Groke Technologies specializes in multi-sensor and advanced voyage advisory systems, catering to all parties involved in vessel operations. The company relies heavily on data, which is an integral part of its product, having amassed millions of ocean images globally. From the outset, Groke recognized that its standards for data collection, quality, and partnerships would be rigorous. Rokka explains that their system incorporates three key components: artificial intelligence, machine learning-based sensor fusion, and the user interface. The use of data for system development has been an ongoing learning experience, with AI Roots playing a significant role in this process. Both Groke and AI Roots, founded in 2019, began their collaboration around the same time. Rokka appreciated AI Roots’ expertise in the start-up environment and their ability to accelerate progress. He noted, “Our partnership started on a positive note. I admired AI Roots’ approach and operational style. Their agile model is crucial for us due to our pressing needs. Additionally, the team at AI Roots understands the start-up landscape and brings both large-scale and practical experience.” Their collaboration has enabled Groke to build a strong internal data team, which Rokka deems especially vital. AI Roots also appointed a Data Science Lead for Groke, whose contributions Rokka highly values.
