Some recent capability projects

For FoodSA, in partnership with the University of Adelaide, we developed AskSASI.com.au an LLM/ ChatGPT based tool for identifying environmental requirements in Australian export markets. It uses a series of questions to fill out a Large Language Model enquiry and provides natural language answers to users telling them whether their existing accreditations can be used in export markets or what environmental accreditations are most suitable for their target market.

Hydra Consulting are proud to have worked with FoodSA
Hydra Consulting are proud to have partnered with FoodSA, Adelaide University, adn Web Design Cafe to develop the AskASAI tool.
