Today, we are happy to announce a new blockchain-based AI coaching platform using Ethereum token called Alberta (ALB).

Our mission is to protect society from risks related to AI disruption, while simultaneously embracing the AI revolution.

Alberta AI is a solution to a long-standing problem of every endeavour related to artificial intelligence. It teaches the computer to understand text, sound, image and even taste as a human does. It allows you to create products based on artificial intelligence without a large set of historical, prearranged (previously assembled) data.

What is Alberta?

Developing a well trained AI model is one of the biggest challenges of our era. Currently, there are few AI coaching engines on the market, such as Amazon MTurk and ScaleAPI. Their business model is very simple: workers (AI trainers) are paid few dollars per hour for training AI models and when the AI model is trained enough and operates on the market all the benefits go to huge corporations.

Without labeling, you cannot train a machine with a new task. Let’s say you want to train a machine to recognize planes, and you have a million pictures, some of which have planes, some of which don’t have planes. You need somebody to first teach the computer which pictures have planes and which pictures don’t have planes.

–Guru Banavar, head of the team at IBM responsible for creating Watson

Alberta redefines the way in which this platform works. In Alberta, all data input performed by AI trainers are registered on a secure blockchain, which means that the money from requesters is equally distributed amongst all the job doers — every time that the AI model is used. Thanks to this the AI trainers are not only workers, but co-owners of the models they trained. Even if you use our software for only one day, you are 100% sure that the money from the models which you trained will be paid to you forever. The passive income is fully guaranteed by a blockchain.

Our mission is to give the opportunity to every person on earth with a smartphone to earn money and to protect our society from financial risks related to AI disruption.

Who is an Alberta customer?

We democratize access to AI. Any developer can sign up and use public accessible API and begin to utilize AI. Behind the scenes, AI will at first be trained with human help before then building AI models to solve tasks automatically. From the perspective of a developer, nothing changes.Developers can start building their chatbots / mobile apps / recommendation engines, and more using only the knowledge that they already have. There are 18.5 million developers in the world — it’s a huge market opportunity to give each of them the power of AI.

How we teach AI? 

By using Alberta, you can perform tasks individually or you can simply implement it on your app or website. Are you a blog writer tired of intrusive ads? Utilize Alberta instead to generate more profit on your content.

Ok, so we already have well trained AI models ready for the market. Who will pay for that in long term? The answer is very simple. Driverless cars, voice assistants, automated production lines in Chinese factories, chatbots — AI is now needed everywhere. According to Tractica the market for AI will hit 36 Billion USD by 2025.

Demo

As a tech company, we are focused on delivering the most innovative and sophisticated products on the market. Forget about MVPs based on UX mockups. At our current stage, we already have working software which you can test on Facebook Messenger — that’s right, you don’t need to download any additional app. Everything is available inside the biggest ecosystem on earth, thanks to our partnership with Facebook.

Wandlee — the company behind the project

The idea for Alberta came from the R&D department of Wandlee, a company established in 2015 specializing in development of chatbots for Facebook Messenger and Telegram which are based on NLP (natural language processing) algorithm. Wandlee has built SaaS (Software as a Service) which, using a simple wizard, enables the running of dozens of bot scenarios such as buying tickets, asking about info, reservation management, and loyalty programs.

Our portfolio of clients is very impressive and mostly composed of enterprises, such as IKEA, Orange, Crédit Agricole, Peugeot, and Avon.

Wandlee is also an official technical partner of Facebook, which can be verified on the official Facebook Messenger chatbots providers list:development-providers

Thanks to our fast development we won many startups competitions and have been chosen by Microsoft to become their official partner as an ISV (Independent Software Vendor) https://www.microsoft.com/pl-pl/isvs

Alberta engine is developed to expand the portfolio of products by offering our clients fully trained and ready to market AI-based software and IoT devices. This means that the Alberta engine will be used in the real world Day One after going live.

Executive Summary

Token Distribution

The ALB tokens are the core of the Alberta platform, used in payments between requesters and AI trainers. At the ICO stage, 50% of total token supply will be distributed to investors. The hard cap is set up to 15 million USD, payable in ETH or BTC.

Projected Use of Company Funds

Alberta is made by people who have very strong experience gained in Startups and Enterprises. We believe that technology is the most important, but we also know that every tech company needs good marketing and well organized operational management.

The ICO date will be announced soon, but the whitelist form is already open on the website.
