Episode 6: Neil Marley, CEO of Qualyfi

In this episode, I'm speaking with Neil Marley, CEO of Qualyfi, about askQ, the dedicated AI assistant built for technology delivery and consulting teams.

AskQ is an LLM/RAG-enabled solution that provides 24/7 contextual answers for anyone working in your technology environment - so it's especially useful for consulting and tech delivery teams.

We discuss the evolution of technology delivery, the role of AI in training and development, and the challenges faced by organisations in standardising processes.

Neil shares insights on how Qualyfi aims to democratise knowledge and provide opportunities for individuals from diverse backgrounds to excel in tech delivery. We also explore the future implications of AI on the tech industry and how organisations can leverage these advancements for competitive advantage.

You contact Neil on LinkedIn or via the company's website at qualify.co.uk.
