AppliedAI Unveils AI Workflow Platform Opus.com

AppliedAI, an AI company based in the UAE, has announced impressive results from its Opus 1 Alpha Large Work Model (LWM) and Work Knowledge Graph (WKG), outperforming all evaluated Large Language Models (LLMs) in complex workflow generation and optimization across critical benchmarks. The Opus LWM powers the new automation platform, Opus.com, developed in Abu Dhabi and being deployed to AppliedAI’s foundational customers.

Opus.com is a revolutionary generative AI workflow platform designed to automate essential processes in regulated industries such as banking, healthcare, life sciences, and insurance. By reducing operating costs and eliminating human error, Opus.com ensures more consistent, auditable, and transparent processes, addressing the complex demands of these industries. This innovative platform enables businesses to streamline workflows, improving operational efficiency and ensuring regulatory compliance.

The launch of Opus LWM was revealed during AppliedAI’s keynote at Palantir’s inaugural DevCon in Palo Alto, California, in November 2024. Opus offers a transformative approach to AI implementation, allowing organizations to create customized, industrial-grade workflows for complex business processes in under 15 minutes. Opus.com serves as a seamless, frictionless entry point for enterprises seeking to integrate AI into mission-critical mid- and back-office operations.

AppliedAI’s Opus platform combines advanced AI workflows with human oversight, enabling industries to improve accuracy and operational speed while reducing costs. Compared to traditional Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) providers, Opus reduces overall costs by 50%, shortens turnaround times by 80%, and improves accuracy by 10%. This makes Opus a game-changer for businesses that require precision and efficiency in their workflows.

Founded in 2021, AppliedAI has quickly become the UAE’s largest exporter of AI to the United States. The company has secured significant strategic partnerships with industry giants like Palantir, McKinsey, and Metalab. AppliedAI raised $42 million in the UAE’s largest-ever early-stage AI funding round from investors including G42, Accrete Capital, McKinsey, Bessemer Ventures, Metalab, Plug and Play, Apeiron, and A.R.M. Holding.

As part of its commitment to accelerating AI adoption, AppliedAI launched its Opus AI Bootcamps in November 2024. These intensive 3-day programs help organizations set up their Opus accounts and co-create the first 10 workflows, enabling rapid cross-functional AI adoption across operations, data governance, compliance, legal, and IT. The bootcamps are already fully booked through April 2025, with customers from various sectors, including M42 (a leading global healthcare provider), Morgan & Morgan (the U.S.’s largest personal injury law firm), and Qinecsa (a top drug safety solutions provider).

AppliedAI CEO and Founder Arya Bolurfrushan emphasized that Opus democratizes access to industrial-grade, responsible AI workflows in highly regulated industries. He praised his team’s dedication and thanked partners for their support in realizing this vision. Palantir’s Anuraag Bahl also highlighted the success of Opus at DevCon, noting how AI engineering can deliver secure workflows at scale. Bessemer Venture Partners’ Brian Feinstein commended AppliedAI for automating services and delivering real business results across labor-intensive industries.

Aligned with the UAE’s ambitious national AI strategy, AppliedAI is positioned as a key player in the country’s efforts to become a global AI leader. The company has also joined the US-UAE AI Task Force, a collaborative initiative aimed at deepening commercial ties between the U.S. and the UAE.
