The APPLY story
The APPLY story began in 2012, when Agnis, working in the IT department of international corporation, realized that bureaucracy and cumbersome processes were stifling innovation.
“I wanted to create a company that I would want to work for. A company where people would come to work every day excited about creating IT solutions,” recalls Agnis.
To make the idea a reality, he approached his brother Valts, who became the first investor and helped purchase the necessary equipment.
“We spent the first few months in the ‘Čili Pica’ café – that was our first office, where we developed mobile applications. I sat there, drank coffee and developed apps,” laughs Agnis.
He was soon joined by a second employee, and shortly after the team had grown to nine developers working on applications, websites and other digital solutions.
But ambitions of APPLY went even further. In its second year of operation, the company began focusing on artificial intelligence and computer vision, anticipating that this technology would be the future of the IT industry.
“We started experimenting, learning, looking for opportunities – and realized that AI was our true path,“ says Agnis. The team intensively researched and developed solutions that soon attracted attention and ensured the company’s rapid growth.
Today, APPLY is the most experienced AI company in Latvia, with a team of 45 people developing and implementing the most advanced solutions to overcome business challenges.
“Our strength is the ability to adapt and create innovative solutions that really work and transform industries,“emphasizes Agnis. Specializing in generative AI integration, computer vision solutions, robotics, mechatronics and microscopy, we offer not only technical expertise but also strategic consulting.
We believe that technology can change the world, and each new project is a step closer to an innovative and efficient future.
APPLY continues to grow, developing and implementing artificial intelligence solutions tailored to each client’s unique needs.
