From AI stylist to medical software: the best startups presented at ATOM Global AI EXPO

The startup competition at the ATOM GLOBAL AI EXPO forum gathered projects from a variety of fields – from personal assistants and business solutions to a dating fob on October 17. Details - in the material of the correspondent of the agency "Minsk-Novosti".

Projects are very diverse: AI agents and new software, personal assistants for people with disabilities, solutions for business optimization, an AI stylist and voice assistant. Each initiative solves a specific task and is designed for its audience.

The format of the speeches was regulated: five minutes for the presentation and three minutes for questions.

The jury consists of experts from different fields – entrepreneurs, founders and specialists who themselves have gone from an idea to a working business.

During the discussion, members of the jury asked about monetization, differences from competitors, the team and how the project will live on. Some experts gave practical advice to get a well-developed product.

Some participants came only with an idea and minimal detail, others with existing projects and users.

- We present a project that helps not to lose important information. The idea came after the survey: 36% of people learned important things too late, and 56% use three or more apps to get personal information. We realized that the problem is the fragmentation of sources, and decided to remove it. Our project is an application that connects several sources, checks them and sends the user one card with a notification. It works in the browser and on the smartphone, it weighs little. The launch in test mode is in one or two weeks, and when we receive investments in the first year, we expect 500 new users, said Pavel Petrovsky, the author of the startup.

Another project is a platform for owners of directory sites and review sites, where recommendations and comparisons of services are published.

- Our team consists of four people, and the initiative is about a month. There was a jitter before the performance, of course, and there were a lot of questions from the jury, but we were sure that the project was cool. This platform tracks link performance, relevance of affiliate programs and conversions. The owner leaves a link to the directory, the system scans the pages and finds where the usual link can be turned into an affiliate link. The person pays for the product – the site owner receives a percentage. We presented MVP on October 4, after that we conducted two pilots with American catalogs, then refined the product to present it as well as possible here, explained the author of the startup Maxim Vilkotsky.

After the participants presented their projects, the jury summed up the results. Among the developments that the experts identified, was a clothing marketplace with an AI-styler, which selects things for appearance, figure and taste, showing them on the avatar. The first Belarusian software based on artificial intelligence methods for recognizing and assessing the risk of skin neoplasms from images was also noted. And a digital ABA platform for systematic education for children with autism.

Winners have access to a community of professionals, speakers and entrepreneurs who are willing to share knowledge. For young teams, this is a chance to express themselves and find support from those who have already gone from an idea to a working product.
