Robotic Online Intelligence

Robotic Online Intelligence (ROI) and its Kubro^TM platform help clients dramatically increase analyst productivity in market research and data collection through SaaS-based automation, custom search tools and AI-powered text analytics. RESTful API-ready.

Our Story

A few years ago, we started building software to automate research at our more established Real Estate Foresight (REF) China property research business. Then we carved it out as Robotic Online Intelligence (ROI) venture (2017), and started deploying with REF clients as well as external clients (2018), not only on China property.

Today, we have two offerings fully ready and deployed with happy clients: the enterprise SaaS Kubro^TM system for data and research companies, and customized intelligence briefs for investment firms.

Extensive Customization

You benefit from an extensive customization with rapid deployment, thanks to our innovative backend infrastructure.

The Human Workflow

The integrated solution cares for the analyst workflow as well as the management oversight and collaboration.

Any language, any domain, no coding skills required. We did solve the key encoding issues, incl. for Chinese language.

We Have Been Living It

We are clients too - built this for our China property specialist research business first – where we rely on the system every day.

AI-Empowered Human Analysts

The AI compliments the human. Text classification powered by our AI models achieves even over 90% accuracy (vs human). The AI algorithms (we deploy multi-layer neural networks, using convolutional neural networks and long short term memory networks) are optimized for short text (e.g. headlines, Twitter), with the data labeling toolkit fully integrated into the platform and with the human scoring systems.
