There's a new Alpha Tracker Mobile coming to the app stores this week

We're releasing a new Alpha Tracker Mobile to the Google (Android) and Apple (iOS) app stores this week.  Alpha Tracker Mobile is our companion mobile app for the Alpha Tracker system.

The app has benefits for our water hygiene (Legionella) clients as well as several bug fixes and small improvements throughout the app.

New research paper comparing AI (Large Language Models, LLMs) againsts laywers when checking contracts for legal issues. What a result

In our work with AI for the legal industry, we've been able to show that ChatGPT and other LLMs are incredibly efficient (and accurate) when asked to perform tasks on documents such as summarising, comparing or analysing text.

The AI Centre of Excellence in New Zealand has just completed a piece of work to example the accuracy and efficiency of LLMs against human lawyers, when looking for legal issues within contracts, and the results are a real eye-opener.

In short, the AI outperformed the lawyers.  And it wasn't even close.  The AI was faster and less expensive -  by a huge margin.

We've been working hard over the last 6 months to develop our skills, expertise and consultancy services relating to AI.  Specifically, we've been working with AI thought leaders Piers Linney and Aalok Shukla (ImplementAI), and AI video generator platform Heygen.

We've got big plans for AI in our two biggest platforms, Alpha Tracker and Alpha Legal.

Here are two Teams calls we had this week to talk through ideas.

January 2024's Support Desk performance stats are in. Maybe our busiest month ever!

Our Support Desk stats are in for January 2024.  Looks like one of our busiest months ever with 799 tickets raised.

I asked ChatGPT to analyse our stats and provide a summary and graph.  It did a decent job and here it is!

January 2024 vs the previous 5 months

The graph above illustrates our Support Desk's performance from August 2023 to January 2024, focusing on the percentage of tickets resolved in time (both overall and high-priority) and the total number of tickets solved each month. Key observations include:

• Improvement in High-Priority Ticket Handling: There's a noticeable dedication to improving the resolution of high-priority tickets in time, with January 2024 showing a strong performance in this area.
  
  
• Consistency in Performance: The in-time resolution rates for all tickets have remained relatively stable over the months, showcasing our consistent approach to maintaining high standards of service.
  
  
• Increase in Volume: January 2024 saw a significant rise in the total number of tickets solved, indicating not only an increase in demand but also our enhanced capacity to address and resolve client issues effectively.

This graphical representation underscores our commitment to excellence and continuous improvement in serving our clients.

We're the only software provider in our market able to offer unlimited, personal, 24x7 support so do get in touch even you need us.  We're here to help!
