Augmented intelligence: PepsiCo introduces Ada


Through its various innovative solutions, PepsiCo has demonstrated that new technologies are able to considerably enhance businesses and to generate additional revenue streams. The company developed Ada, a system based on augmented intelligence. This post will look at this infrastructure.

The solution provides augmented intelligence that relies on human’s insight and algorithms. The firm expects that this will lead to rapid learning. Ada can record information from various sources so that PepsiCo can better leverage the massive amount of data it collects. This implies that the system will be involved in several aspects of operations such as innovation, design, research and price decisions.
The data collected can also be used in product development, sales and marketing. PepsiCo has introduced social prediction tools that tally consumer conversations which are publicly available to its own data to identify new items to bring to the market.

Another system implemented by PepsiCo is called Pep Worx. This is a cloud-based and analytics platform. It helps the company advise retail stores on product management such as the best items to stock, where to place them and what promotional strategies to use. For instance, when PepsiCo wanted to launch Quaker Overnight Oats, it was able to target 24 million households and shopping venues.
