Afi vs WebMonks

Simple & resilient cloud G Suite backup platform

Afi develops Cloud backup & management platform with revolutionary simple UI and built-in intelligent resiliency. Easily schedule automated weekly to hourly cloud-to-cloud backups with custom retention; backup entire G Suite accounts or individual items and restore them to any known state with point-in-time recovery using full text search and content preview.
More than 50% of medium and large organizations backup their cloud applications, and we believe that it shouldn’t add complexity or require constant attention from IT admins. Our platform leverages AI technology to simplify backup and provide higher resiliency. Once desired SLA is specified, Afi autonomously manages backup schedules uses the SLA as a guidance to verify backups and adjusts backup schedules to account for user activity and external events (indication of cloud apps downtime, datacenter availability).
Unlike legacy backup solutions that were originally created for on-premise workloads, Afi web-scale architecture ensures enterprise grade scalability and lightning-fast speed. No legacy code means fast development cycle and roll out of new features – we currently support backup of G Suite, and plan to release support of O365 and SFDC in next releases.

WebMonks is an expert centre that makes machines see the world like humans. We bring bring state-of-the-art research in computer vision to your development.

WebMonks’ founders Jonatan and Maarten conceptualized an idea to drive social change through technological R&D in late 2015. One year and a half later, they found themselves successfully pursuing that vision. It had become WebMonks’ mission to become an expert computer vision research centre, with a non-profit manual image annotation branch which generates fair work in third world countries.
At the time, their service and expertise proved a difficult fit for the Belgian market. The US proved itself a much better target for innovative customers, and soon demand for WebMonks’ consulting service grew from across the Atlantic.
As more and more European computer vision PhD’s and scientists joined WebMonks, the team started to develop expertise in creating synthetic training environment for visual Artificial Intelligence. Their procedural computer graphics solutions allowed them to generate high quality synthetic images at large scale, which meant they could tackle challenges where state-of-the-art Deep Learning solutions usually failed.
After a significant increase in demand for computer vision consulting and generation of synthetic data, finally there came a demand for annotating real data as well. This created the opportunity for WebMonks to generate real, fair jobs in development countries. Becoming an expert computer vision centre had paid off more than economical or technological impact, it now also generated social impact.
Today, WebMonks is a team of 15 scientists spread all over Europe, with expertise ranging from computer vision to deep learning to procedural CGI. Their members have successfully completed projects for high-tech companies in Visual Search, Image Recognition, Augmented Reality, Drone and Autonomous Vehicle Technology. Together, they generate quality work for over 100 families in development countries overseas.
