What is RL?
Reinforcement learning (RL) is a type of AI that learns through experience. For business, that means building smarter, more resilient systems that adapt as conditions change.
Learning by doing
How does a baby or an animal learn about the world? By trying things out, noticing the result, and trying again. RL works in much the same way.
Computers that teach themselves
Most AI models focus on classification, but RL goes further, learning strategies for sequential decision-making.
The fastest path to optimization
Instead of relying on fixed datasets, RL interacts with its environment, takes actions, and learns from feedback to improve over time.
Amii's recent RL projects
From research to real-world results
Reinforcement Learning is most useful when it leaves the lab and goes into industry—optimizing systems, automating decisions, and unlocking measurable gains.
RL Core: Wastewater treatment
RL Core is an Amii-affiliated company that leverages reinforcement learning to continuously adapt and fine-tune wastewater treatment plant operations in real time, as human operators and AI work together.
EZ Ops: Oil and gas
Amii partnered with EZ Ops to use RL to help oil and gas operators work smarter, reduce costs, and cut emissions. This platform prioritizes tasks, predicts production, and has saved customers $48M while at the same time preventing nearly 5,000 tonnes of CO₂.
ZeroSound: Noise cancellation
By combining RL with advanced sound engineering, our collaboration with ZeroSound develops innovative solutions for noise suppression in complex environments.
What makes Amii a leader in RL?
Our world-renowned RL experts are the reason leading companies trust us to develop complex AI theory into business-driving reality.
