Oneflare — Oneflare is a new online startup that connects customers with home services providers.Oneflare challenges the traditional Yellow Pages model by creating a revolutionary online marketplace. This marketplace eliminates the need for customers to search for tradies and tradies to search for customers. With Oneflare, all it takes is one stop toget any job done. Entrepreneur and Co-founder Tommy Lim explains, ‘Our aim is to make hiring a service provider as easy as booking a flight on Expedia.’Oneflare tips the process of looking for a service provider on its head. Requesting a service is effortless and free. Customers complete a simple form detailing the job then sit back and relax while Oneflare does the finding. Oneflare’s unique matching technology alerts relevant businesses of each request, allowing them to submit competing price quotes for the job. Quotes are then pre-filtered and presented to the customer, ensuring that the only work the customer has to do is make the buying decision. Launched in January 2012, Oneflare’s innovative offering has driven drastic growth. Oneflare features 40,000 businesses spanning 40 categories throughout Australia. 90% of requests posted receive 3 or more competing quotes which leaves extra cash in happy customers’ pockets. With most quotes appearing within 15 minutes, Oneflare also puts free time back into busy customers’ schedules. Oneflare’s winning combination has generated over $5 million worth of jobs to date. While saving time and money is exciting, 69% of customers have stated that reputation comes before price when hiring tradies (Newspoll Survey sourced by Oneflare). Oneflare has implemented an assortment of trust and safety features to ensure that customers always find a quality service provider. Reviews and ratings by previous customers coupled with business profiles featuring photos, testimonials and verification create an open community on the platform. Oneflare’s Home Care Guarantee also covers customers up to $500 if something goes wrong, providing the ultimate peace of mind no matter the size of the job. Customers aren’t the only ones who Oneflare caters to. Oneflare has created a unique value proposition for businesses which only requires them to pay for successful connections. It’s free for service providers to register for the site and it’s free to receive leads, providing businesses with an incredible incentive to join. Gone are the days of businesses submitting their advert to the Yellow Pages, hoping it will lead to sales. Instead, Oneflare brings the work to them.Oneflare is driven by clever technology that is hidden behind a user-friendly interface. Oneflare uses natural language processing to match every request to the right service provider. Real time SMS and email updates are sent to customers and businesses alike. Users on the go can enjoy the Oneflare mobile site which can be particularly useful for those pesky jobs that need to get done fast.

An international search led us to some incredibly talented data scientists, right here in Australia, at RMIT University.Using the latest research in data science, lots of property data, local market knowledge from property experts, and input from buyers - we developed our proprietary algorithm.And so, REALas was born.Fast forward to today, REALas has been rigorously tested across the Australian market.

Butlr — Butlr protects people's health and well-being during the coronavirus pandemic with a low-cost thermal imaging system that captures people’s behavior in indoor and outdoor environments. Butlr’s proprietary hardware pairs with advanced AI to gain insight into people’s movements in physical space, providing actionable intelligence to assistedliving, homes, and public spaces, all while safeguarding privacy. Butlr is a spin-off from the MIT Media Lab. Butlr’s sensor network captures human dynamics through state-of-art sensory monitoring and AI, understanding users’ needs to achieve a seamless automation experience, preventing risk, and monitoring health. Responsive architecture is a vision of a future where the built environment is as customizable as a streaming music podcast, based on simple, intelligent architectural objects. The natural world is in a constant state of flux; combinations of moisture, breeze and temperature change continuously. When we are inside our buildings, however, our environment loses its dynamism, and we’re forced to constantly tweak the conditions to achieve optimal comfort. Responsive architecture uses intelligent objects to mirror the processes of the natural world, creating environments and “microclimates” that are suited to individuals or small groups based on the heat signature of their bodies. Today the team at Butlr uses small, low-cost sensors to track the motions and body heat of Each person has a biometric heat signature as unique as a fingerprint. The Butlr sensors recognize an individual’s heat signature, and can modify room temperature and lighting for ideal comfort. Unlike cameras that track and record faces, the Butlr system relies on a heat signature, which is unique, but cannot be used to trace your identity. Starting from home applications, the future vision for responsive architecture is to empower cities with networks of heat sensors that can make cities responsive, predicting and responding to vehicle flows, pedestrian density, and weather conditions on the fly. Using thermal data provides many news layers of interaction not possible with cameras.
