AMPLYFI Ltd. is an artificial intelligence (AI) company, headquartered in Cardiff, Wales that specialises in data mining, data analysis and intelligence gathering.

History
AMPLYFI was founded by Chris Ganje, Ian Jones, Mark Woods, Yunus Saatchi and Odin Taylor in 2015.

Founded in 2015, AMPLYFI was borne out of recognition that even 'best practice' business intelligence research tools and methodologies have limitations including natural biases, capacity, speed and cost. The company was created with the intent of overcoming these limitations and keeping pace in a rapidly changing technology landscape.

Business Intelligence Platforms
AMPLYFI's first product, DataVoyant™, is a Business Intelligence and Research tool that uses machine learning to mine resources in the Surface and Deep Web (including academic papers, patents, government reports, financial databases, news items etc). The use of open source data to drive business intelligence decisions makes the tool universally applicable to any industry. It's main applications are in competitor intelligence, investment optimisation and M&A targeting.

Press
The start-up has won favourable press coverage, grants and awards including Wales' Technology Start-up of the Year 2017 , global Top 100 Artificial Intelligence firm , and one of "35 firms at cutting edge of innovation and technology". CEO, Chris Ganje and CTO, Mark Woods have also been recognised individually in The Sunday Times Maserati 100, Wales Online's "Top 35 Businessmen Under 35" and is currently a finalist for the GBEA "Innovative Entrepreneur of the Year".

Bioweapon Research
In October 2017, AMPLYFI made headlines for contributing to a Harvard Kennedy School Belfer Center white paper which surveys North Korea's biological weapons program which is thought to have started in the 1960's. For this report, DataVoyant™, mined 840,000 websites associated with biological weapons, of which 23,000 were linked to North Korea.
