Real business problems, solved with intelligence.

Applied Intelligence Labs is a Rhodes-based studio of builders. We work backwards from your customers, map the use cases and the edge cases, and iterate rapidly until the solution works in the real world.

Amazon and AWS experience

Founded by seasoned professionals from Amazon and Amazon Web Services, with experience serving some of the largest customers in the world.

Platforms we have built

Hotel operations, tour-operator bookings, beach ordering and B2B wholesale, designed and engineered by our own team, end to end.

Connected to the core

Integrated with Oracle OPERA Cloud, SoftOne ERP and AADE, Greece’s tax authority, alongside the other systems our clients run on.

We don’t sell AI. We apply it.

AI is how we work, not what we sell. What you get is the result: a platform your team relies on every day, a process that runs itself, a decision made on better information. We use intelligent tools to cut the time from idea to live solution from months to weeks, without cutting corners.

What we’ve built

Designed and engineered by our own team, end to end. The people who built these platforms are the people who will build yours.

Hospitality In daily use at a Greek hotel group

A hotel operating platform

Guest app, in-room TV, dining, log book, maintenance, quality checks and complaints in one platform, working alongside Oracle OPERA Cloud, with an AI concierge that answers guests from the hotel’s own knowledge. Hotel groups run one system instead of ten to fifteen separate vendors.

Existing systems Integrated One operating platform Guest app In-room TV Maintenance Quality checks Log book Dining Complaints AI concierge Oracle OPERA Cloud
Tour operators Hotel systems Booking hub
Tourism

Tour-operator bookings

Collects reservations from Europe’s tour operators, shows hotels where they are overbooked and delivers each booking straight into the hotel’s property management system, with no retyping.

Sunbeds Order status Order placed Paid in the app Brought to the sunbed
Hospitality

Beach ordering and payments

Guests order and pay from their sunbed, and staff receive every order in their own app. Designed for bright sun, patchy signal and the midday rush.

Trade customers order online Wholesale ordering platform Back-office systems
Commerce

B2B wholesale ordering

Trade customers place orders online at any time of day, and every order flows straight into the company’s back office.

What we do

Four ways we help, often in combination.

Build

Platforms and products

We design and build software platforms, apps and integrations, using AI-native engineering to move from idea to live product quickly.

Advise

Strategy and consulting

We help leadership teams find where intelligence creates real value in their business, and where it doesn’t, then shape a practical plan.

Run

Support and operations

We host, support and keep improving what we build, so it keeps delivering long after launch.

Teach

Seminars and writing

Through seminars, lectures and writing, we help businesses and professionals put intelligence to work themselves.

How we work

Four habits we bring from years at Amazon and AWS, building for some of the largest customers in the world.

Work backwards from the customer

Before we write any code, we write the announcement: what the customer gets, why it matters, and the hardest questions they will ask. Then we work back to what has to be true, and build only that.

Plan from the outcome down Build from the ground up 1 2 3 4 The customer outcome The hardest questions What has to be true What we build first

Go deeper than the brief

A brief tells you what people ask for. We spend time where the work actually happens, until we understand why it matters to them and exactly where it breaks.

What people ask for The brief and the feature list How the work really happens Observed with the team, where the work is done Why it matters The outcome the customer is really paying for Where it breaks Edge cases, exceptions and peak days Most projects stop here We go all the way down

Map the edge cases early

Most systems fail at the edges: the peak day, the missing field, the last-minute change. We map the unusual cases up front, so the solution holds up in real operations, not just in the demo.

The core use case Peak-season load Last-minute changes No signal, offline Missing or messy data Hand-over to a person Core use case Edge case

Iterate in loops of days

We put working software in front of real users quickly, learn from what they actually do, and go again. Every loop adds detail and removes doubt, until the solution is ready for production.

Days Weeks 1 2 3 4 Sketch Test the idea on paper with the people who use it Prototype Clickable, in days, in front of real users Pilot Working software inside the real operation Production Secure, reliable and ready to scale Every loop: build it, measure it, learn, go again

Our technology

We use the newest AI every day, from Claude and agents to machine learning, backed by the engineering discipline that keeps it dependable.

Agentic AI

AI agents built on Claude that carry out multi-step work, update your systems and hand over to a person when judgment is needed.

Knowledge assistants

Assistants that answer from your own documents and data, so staff and customers get current, correct answers.

Machine learning

Models that forecast, classify and flag unusual activity in operational data, used only where they beat a simple rule.

AI-native engineering

We build with Claude Code and agentic tooling every day. It is how our senior team delivers in weeks what used to take months.

Where we apply it

Most of our work sits where we live and build: tourism, local business and the operations behind them.

Hospitality and tourism

Guest experience, hotel operations and the data that connects operators, partners and travellers.

Local commerce

Tools that help independent businesses sell directly, run efficiently and keep more of what they earn.

Operations

Automating the everyday work behind any business: bookings, reporting, reconciliation and the processes that eat time.
