# AI4WA

> AI4WA is an AI research and engineering team based in Perth, Western Australia (since 2024). We help WA businesses adopt AI in two layers: first we put AI into the workflows they already run (fixed-price workflow screening, proof of concept, production build, support), then we build a research and development engine on their own data so the AI advantage belongs to them. Every application can run entirely on the client's own servers with open-weight models.

## Case studies
- [How much carbon could the biomass near your site displace?](https://ai4wa.com/case-studies/biomass-carbon-wa/): How BiomassFlux works out the farm and food residue around a WA site, what it costs to haul, and how much CO₂ each end use would avoid. One click, every assumption shown.
- [Decades of WA exploration reports, searchable to the sentence](https://ai4wa.com/case-studies/wamex-report-search/): How we built GeoThought: 118,374 WAMEX reports and 448,185 papers you can question in plain English, with every answer opened at its page.
- [Everything about a Perth block, in one click](https://ai4wa.com/case-studies/perth-property-parcel-data/): How we built Keys: 1.1 million Perth parcels joined to schools, safety, hazards, transport and planning data, with an AI assistant that answers from that data.
- [A voice assistant that never leaves the building](https://ai4wa.com/case-studies/private-voice-assistant/): We built a voice assistant that runs on local hardware with an open-weight model. Its first word arrives in 43 ms; cloud models took 720 to 2,400 ms.
