Picture this: You're craving the perfect cup of coffee. You know what great coffee tastes like, but you're clueless about machines, grind sizes, or bean varieties. Would you impulsively drop $15,000 on a commercial espresso machine? Of course not. You'd start with understanding your needs, learning the basics, and finding the right solution for your situation. AI works exactly the same way. Before diving into complex implementations, you need to understand where AI fits, how it works, and what it can truly do for your business. That's where we come in—guiding you through AI's potential with the clarity and expertise you deserve.

And here's something that might surprise you: AI isn't new, it's been around for decades. That calculator on your desk? This is one of the first forms of "Artificial Intelligence" that already outperforms humans. Not convinced? Try calculating 9,845.67 ÷ 37 in your head. Not so simple, right? AI is simply any system or model designed to mimic human thinking. From basic calculators to the sophisticated algorithms powering ChatGPT and Gemini.

So why the sudden AI explosion? Thanks to huge breakthroughs in computing power and data availability, we've been able to efficiently train the magical engine behind AI: Neural Networks powered by the backpropagation algorithm. In 2017, researchers finally had enough data and processing power to train models on massive datasets, resulting in the famous paper "Attention is all you need". The results were so impressive that commercial applications exploded just a few years later. Now, the real question isn't what AI is—it's how to harness its power for your specific needs. At Mirai, we specialize in the two branches that matter most: Generative AI (creating new content) and Analytical AI (understanding and predicting). Ready to discover which one fits your business?
