# Industrial AI

> Industrial AI is an Australian AI company on the Gold Coast, Queensland, serving Australia and New Zealand. It works with businesses as their AI strategic partner and AI leader, and builds and supports: (1) AI strategy & leadership — fractional AI leadership that sets a business's AI direction, roadmap and governance, then delivers it hands-on; (2) the AI Voice Agent — an AI front-desk platform that answers business calls 24/7, books jobs, texts callers a link to send photos/video/documents, logs maintenance requests and tasks, and follows up; (3) custom industrial computer vision — defect detection, load verification, safety monitoring, and custom-trained image models that work with existing cameras; (4) AI agent deployment with OpenClaw — a private AI agent connected to a business's own email, calendar, messaging and tools, able to run on their own devices; and (5) AI workshops and training, including specialised sessions on ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code and AI agents. Everything is built and supported in Australia, edge-first by default so sensitive data stays on-site. Advice is vendor-neutral.
