AI Integrations & Product Intelligence
One-Line Outcome
Delivered a custom AI assistant for a research portal that processed 10,000+ documents, improving discovery time by 70% and reducing human support by 60%.
The Challenge
A European life sciences company was scaling a research platform where scientists needed to extract insights from thousands of research papers, images, and clinical trial reports. Manual exploration and metadata tagging made research inefficient. They needed a solution that could understand biomedical context, extract insights, and interact in natural language — without exposing sensitive data to public LLMs.
The Strategy
Foundry proposed building a fully private AI co-pilot integrated into their web platform, leveraging multiple open and commercial models:
- Meta’s LLaMA 3 for on-prem secure NLP
- Anthropic Claude Sonnet 3.5 for scientific summarization and reasoning
- OpenAI GPT-4o + GPT Vision for multimodal understanding
- HuggingFace + Haystack for indexing and retrieval pipeline
Used ThinkAlternate’s AI Integration stack to ensure secure, business-aligned model usage with fallback and caching.
Execution
- Deployed hybrid AI orchestration using LangChain + FastAPI
- Ingested 10,000+ PDFs, CSVs, and medical images
- Built UI widget with natural language Q&A, citation linking, and document previews
- Enabled retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) for compliance-ready answers
- Set up vector database with role-based access and HIPAA-compliant logs
Results
- 70% reduction in research discovery time
- 10x increase in daily AI-assisted queries
- 60% drop in human support tickets for document navigation
- 2 months saved in manual tagging + indexing workload
