Case Study: How Superteams.ai Helped a ClimateTech and Sustainability Startup Build Cutting-Edge AI Features

Client Overview

A climatetech and sustainability startup, Bevolve, specializing in greenhouse gas (GHG) measurement, analysis, and reporting sought to enhance their platform with AI-powered features. Their core requirement was to simplify complex processes such as:

1. Parsing data from PDFs and invoices to calculate Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.
2. Developing an AI-powered sustainability reporting system leveraging client-specific data such as annual reports, Zoom meeting notes, and investor presentations.
3. Creating an AI-powered system for peer review and analysis. 

The client’s target customers were primarily in the textile industry, a sector with intricate supply chain emissions and reporting requirements.

Challenges

Building these AI features internally posed several challenges:

• Time to Market: Recruiting and training an in-house AI team would delay the deployment of critical features.
• Cost Constraints: Hiring skilled AI developers, data scientists, and system architects would significantly increase operational expenses.
• Technical Complexity: The features required expertise in cutting-edge technologies, including LLMs, vision models, and agentic retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems

Solution Provided by Superteams.ai

Superteams.ai assembled a bespoke team of AI developers with expertise in the required domains. With Superteams.ai team’s architecture guidance in AI, the team delivered a FastAPI-based AI endpoint that addressed the client’s needs. The key deliverables included:

   • Leveraging advanced vision models (GPT-4o), the system processed large volumes of invoices to extract relevant data for emissions calculations.
   • The data pipeline ensured accuracy and scalability, critical for the client’s expanding customer base.
2. Structured Output API
   • Using OpenAI’s API capabilities, the team created structured outputs, making it easy for downstream systems to utilize parsed data efficiently.
3. Advanced Agentic RAG System
   • A sophisticated report generation assistant was developed:some text
     • Data Analysis: Emissions data and other inputs were analyzed using large language models (LLMs).
     • Data Ingestion: Client data, including PDFs and meeting notes, was ingested into a Qdrant vector database for efficient retrieval.
     • Agentic Architecture: An agentic framework automated report generation, combining retrieved data with advanced natural language generation capabilities.
4. Image Generation API
   • The team developed an API for generating custom image assets, enhancing the visual appeal and clarity of sustainability reports.
5. AI Assistant for Querying and Peer Review
   • An advanced AI assistant was delivered that could:
     • Query reports and datasets for detailed insights.
     • Provide peer reviews on work conducted by sustainability professionals.
     • Utilize advanced document processing, vector search, and LLM capabilities to deliver comprehensive feedback and recommendations.

Outcome

The collaboration resulted in a state-of-the-art AI system that enabled the client to:

• Rapidly Deploy AI Features: By leveraging Superteams.ai’s expertise, the client launched their AI-powered platform far faster than they could have with an in-house team.
• Attract New Customers: The new features allowed the client to target textile industry players with a compelling, AI-driven solution for GHG emissions reporting.
• Showcase Innovation to Investors: The integration of cutting-edge AI features became a key selling point in investor discussions, reinforcing the client’s position as a forward-thinking SaaS company.
• Build AI Knowhow: Once the system was production-ready, it was seamlessly transferred to the client’s internal team for ongoing maintenance and development
