Advai

Advai is a UK-based company focused exclusively on AI testing and monitoring. The company provides tools and expertise to help organisations assess the trustworthiness, reliability, and robustness of their AI systems, a practice it refers to as AI Assurance. Advai's platform includes a product called "Advai Insight," an AI Robustness Workspace developed over three years with Defence-backed research and development, supported by public funding. The product is designed to enable non-technical teams to manage AI Assurance processes, lowering the barrier for organisations without deep technical expertise to evaluate their AI systems. The company's approach emphasises independence — it does not develop or sell AI solutions that would compete with its clients' own AI products. This positions Advai as an objective third-party evaluator rather than a vendor with conflicting commercial interests. Testing methodologies are tailored to individual AI applications and organisations, rather than relying on generic, one-size-fits-all assessments. Advai's work spans both the defence and financial services sectors. The company has collaborated with the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to help firms safely test AI within a regulatory sandbox environment. It has also participated in DSEI, a major international defence and security event, indicating engagement with government and defence clients. The company targets organisations that are deploying AI and need structured assurance processes to validate that those systems perform as expected, remain robust under varied conditions, and comply with emerging regulatory expectations around AI governance.
