Gobbill’s AI journey started back in mid 2015 when we applied Deep-Learning text-in-the-wild to automate bill payments and machine learning models for detecting fraud.
In our early days, we were based in our AI & Data Science partner Silverpond ‘s co-working space called The Pond (2016).

Gobbill’s journey has been an exciting one working with Silverpond and with plenty of support from Microsoft. Together, we have explored use-cases and what’s possible using AI over the last 8 years.
