Description: Tia is the founder of fiftyminds, a company born from her mission to make AI accessible, affordable and less terrifying than it sounds. Her career began in IT at 20 eventually evolving into working as an AI engineer and Tia has spent the last 2 years designing and building smart, bespoke solutions for businesses across all industries nationwide. From streamlining operations for telecommunications companies to making chatbots slightly less annoying, she’s tackled a bit of everything. Her work isn’t just about fancy algorithms; it’s about making AI practical, budget-friendly and downright useful for the businesses that need it most. When Tia realised SMEs were being left behind in the AI revolution, she launched fiftyminds to change the game. Now, she’s on a mission to show that AI isn’t just for big corporations - it’s the secret weapon SMEs didn’t know they could afford.
