AppliedAI is a pioneering AI technology company headquartered in Abu Dhabi, committed to innovation and excellence in artificial intelligence solutions in regulated industries such as healthcare, insurance, government, and financial services. Opus is the world’s first Knowledge Work AI platform, built by AppliedAI to pioneer Supervised Automation—a human‑in‑the‑loop model where AI handles repetitive, structured tasks while human experts provide crucial oversight at defined intervals.

The platform uses its proprietary Large Work Model to generate and orchestrate outcome‑based workflows, enabling a dramatic reduction in the cost of knowledge work and allowing human talent to focus on high‑value, creative, and judgment‑intensive activities.
