Unlikely AI

Unlikely AI is an early stage Artificial Intelligence start-up based in London. We were founded by William Tunstall-Pedoe (williamtp.com) a successful London-based entrepreneur who had a large role to play in the creation of Amazon Alexa, following the acquisition of his last business the voice-assistant start-up Evi (formerly True Knowledge). Unlikely AI is his next venture.

The business is mostly operating under the radar but has just launched one fun product, Crossword Genius (crosswordgenius.com), a cryptic-crossword solving smartphone app which is partly designed as a test bed for some non-conformist ideas in machine-learning and Artificial Intelligence. Other large, exciting projects are in the works.

Our Company Values

These principles are what we value and who we are.

- Product Magic, Invention and Obsession.

We obsess about building products that amaze our customers and change their lives. We search ceaselessly for the best ideas and invent to create the radically new. We are not limited by the conventional. We make software do new things. We bring science fiction to life.

- Exceptional people, coaching and growth.

We work relentlessly to raise the standard of the team through recruitment of ever more exceptional people, coaching, self-improvement, feedback-seeking and learning. We all own making our work environment challenging, exciting, welcoming and fun.

- Impact and Big Thinking.

We prioritize by what has the biggest impact. We aim for the absurdly ambitious. We are not limited by what other people say is possible.

- Truth and Dissent.

Businesses can win by seeing the truth more clearly. We willingly seek diverse opinions; we hold our assumptions up to daylight and we discover what is true with data. We are all required to respectfully challenge any thinking when we believe there may be a better way. As a team, we fully get behind the chosen direction, even if doubt remains.

- Action.

Speed matters. Much learning comes from trying and only rarely do decisions require prolonged study. We have the courage both to make swift decisions and to reverse them when we learn they are wrong.

- Ownership.

We are owners. We take responsibility, regardless of role, and see it through.
