Our Story

To understand Illuminate AI and our superpowers, it’s important to understand where we came from.

When ChatGPT was launched, our CEO Billy Lyle had a clear view – “This will either triple the size of most organisations or send them out of business”. It’s that big.

Over 12 months, we built a comprehensive picture of what a Gen AI-first business could truly mean – and we are keeping a close eye on how this is evolving by living these learnings ourselves.

Today, Gen AI is infused in every part of Illuminate AI, from the way we hire to how we deliver. Now we’re sharing our expertise to guide your business towards your own Gen AI success.
