Key Takeaways
- Sphere, a deep tech company, is using Oracle Database 23ai to power its AI platform, OrgBrain.
- The platform helps governments, NGOs, and businesses dramatically speed up complex workflows.
- Sphere built and deployed applications on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) in just 45 days.
- OrgBrain uses AI to provide insights, automate tasks, and integrate data securely.
- Oracle’s technology provides performance, security, and scalability for Sphere’s platform.
Sphere, a company specializing in advanced technology solutions, has chosen Oracle’s latest database technology to run its artificial intelligence platform, OrgBrain.
OrgBrain is designed to help organizations like government agencies, non-profits, and businesses tackle complex tasks much faster. Sphere says workflows that usually take weeks can now be completed in just 5 to 10 minutes.
Using Oracle Autonomous Database on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), Sphere was able to get its custom applications up and running remarkably quickly – in only 45 days. According to Yahoo Finance, this was significantly faster than if they had used multiple separate databases.
Christian Grupp, Sphere’s CEO, emphasized their focus on secure and understandable AI, especially for regulated industries. He noted that Oracle provides the high-performance and scalable foundation needed to support their customers.
Sphere’s platform helps users turn large amounts of information into clear actions. It integrates an organization’s data securely and allows them to use various AI models.
A key feature from Oracle, AI Vector Search, helps OrgBrain analyze different types of data together. It also works with a technique called retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to make AI responses more accurate and relevant, reducing incorrect outputs.
Real-world examples show OrgBrain’s impact. A US healthcare organization uses it to streamline operations like member management. Legal teams use its traceable AI for compliance tasks, and an international NGO uses it to draft complex proposals more quickly.
Oracle highlighted how its technology enabled Sphere to rapidly meet customer needs. Built-in features like vector search and strong security controls were crucial for the speedy development.
Sphere’s developers also found efficiencies, saving months of development time by using Oracle REST Data Services (ORDS). This tool simplified connecting their web applications to the database securely.
