An AI Development Partnership for an Accelerating World – Cloudesign + WalledAI

AI development is no longer a luxury. From sophisticated trading platforms to a simple grocery shopping application, artificial intelligence is the norm today. If you’re building software today and ignoring AI integration, you might as well shelf the project.

Let’s consider a few statistics. Ernst & Young reports that an impressive 82% of Indian participants are open to improving their purchase decisions using AI [1]. According to Capgemini, 71% of consumers want generative AI integrated into their shopping experiences [2]. As of 2025, McKinsey reports that a whopping 92% of organizations plan to increase their AI investments over the next three years [3].

The verdict is clear. AI has infused itself into every aspect of our lives. It is here to stay. Organizations that choose to shy away from this fact are only delaying the inevitable. They are, perhaps, even risking their existence.

Problems with AI Adoption

Like any novel technology, AI development comes with its own set of problems. Here are some major problems that companies face today when working towards AI adoption.

• Data Scarcity – AI systems rely heavily on clean, labeled, and relevant data to perform well, but many organizations struggle with fragmented, siloed, or poor data.
• Bias & Ethical Issues – Bias and ethical concerns are growing issues in AI. Models trained on biased data can unintentionally reinforce harmful stereotypes or lead to unfair outcomes.
• Lack of Trust and Explainability – Many AI models operate as “black boxes,” meaning their decision-making processes aren’t easily understood by humans. This lack of explainability makes stakeholders hesitant to rely on AI.
• Regulatory & Compliance Risks – With data privacy laws like GDPR, HIPAA, and others evolving rapidly, companies must ensure their AI systems comply — or risk fines, lawsuits, or reputational damage.
• Implementation Costs – Developing, training, and deploying AI systems requires significant investment in infrastructure, specialized software, and expert talent.
• Security Concerns – With new technologies come new security challenges. AI systems are prime targets for attacks like manipulation, adversarial attacks, or misuse.

Cloudesign’s Partnership with WalledAI is the Need of the Hour

What Cloudesign’s Partnership with WalledAI Brings to the Table?

This partnerships puts the ground realities of AI development in touch with advanced silicon-valley experiments.

With deep expertise in developing AI solutions on the ground, Cloudesign brings to the table over a decade of market intelligence and technical know-how. From model selection to data preparation, model deployment to maintenance, Cloudesign brings invaluable technical and market insights that guide the development process and enable project delivery.

The BFSI sector, in particular, benefits from the deep-industry experience that Cloudesign has to offer. Across use cases like credit profiling, accounts reconciliation, payment processing, and digital banking, Cloudesign boasts a strong track record of deploying solutions that generate high returns on investment.

On the other hand, WalledAI brings to the table years of proprietary AI research and technical solutions that enable bias-free, secure, compliant, and reliable AI solutions.

The partnership thus marries the latest in AI security with the ground realities of AI development and enables Cloudesign’s customers to build secure, compliant, and intelligent AI solutions without the risks.

Let’s count the numerous benefits this partnership brings to enterprises vying for AI adoption.

Lower Costs and Built-In Security

Enterprises today typically engage AI developers and security experts separately. This approach increases total costs to the company. The added complexity of dealing with two separate vendors also slows down processes, collaboration, and ultimately productivity.

By partnering with WalledAI, Cloudesign has reduced this complexity for its customers. Every AI solution built with Cloudesign is secure by default and ready to deploy out of the box. As designated partners, Cloudesign also enjoys cost savings that are passed on to the customers.

Increased Regulatory Compliance

Keeping up with the numerous AI regulations evolving around the globe is a herculean task. Enterprises simply do not have the time or resources to keep track of ever-changing AI regulations and abide by them.

Together, Cloudesign and WalledAI will ensure compliance with global AI regulations like GDPR, the EU AI Act, and other AI regulations in 130+ countries. Enterprises can ensure legal compliance and avoid potential lawsuits simply by choosing Cloudesign as their preferred AI development partner.

Bias-Free Solutions

AI solutions, particularly those that involve LLMs, are only as good as the data they are trained on. This renders them vulnerable to the numerous biases inherent in the training data.

Biases like sexism could, for instance, prompt a job-profiling algorithm to favor male candidates. Or racial bias in facial recognition software could flag a member of the minority community as a security threat.

With tools like exploratory data analysis, Cloudesign already eliminates much of the bias in AI solutions. This partnership further strengthens Cloudesign’s ability to deliver bias-free AI solutions thanks to WalledAI’s expertise in this area.

Safety and Correctness

LLM-based solutions are known to generate imaginary and incorrect responses that are popularly known as hallucinations. Incorrect responses defeat the whole purpose of building an AI solution and cast doubts upon its credibility.These problems are glaringly apparent in solutions like customer support, where AI chatbots might furnish customers with unreliable information.

With this partnership, Cloudesign will enhance solutions like chatbots with the capability to detect and prevent incorrect responses. WalledAI’s trail-blazing research in this area will help it further enhance correctness, especially in sensitive sectors like Fintech and Healthcare.

Privacy

AI solutions are prime targets for data-stealing attacks. Systems that involve LLMs have been prone to spilling out private information like credit card details and social security numbers.

This partnership also brings home enterprise-grade privacy-preserving data-redaction capabilities.Sensitive data will now be safely masked before being sent to LLMs, thus ensuring customer privacy and confidentiality.

AI Solutions this Partnership Enables

This partnership paves the way to infinite possibilities in AI development. Solutions that were out-of-reach due to bias, correctness, or privacy concerns will now be easily attainable.

Across sectors, here are some AI solutions enabled by this partnership.

• Finance & Fintech: Market Sentiment Analysis, Credit Scoring, Robo-Advisors, Algorithmic Trading, Customer Support Bots, Document Processing, Fraud Detection, Real-time ESG Scoring, Workflow Automation
• Healthcare: Medical Imaging Diagnosis, Predictive Analytics, Personalized Treatment Plans, Remote Patient Monitoring, Chatbots for Triage, Drug Discovery
• Retail & E-commerce: Product Recommendation Engines, Inventory Forecasting, Dynamic Pricing, Customer Sentiment Analysis, Visual Search, AI Chatbots for Shopping Assistance
• Manufacturing: Predictive Maintenance, Quality Control via AI Vision, Supply Chain Optimization, Autonomous Robotics, Energy Consumption Optimization
• Transportation & Logistics: Route Optimization, Fleet Management, Autonomous Vehicles, Demand Forecasting, AI for Shipment ETA Prediction
• Education & EdTech: Adaptive Learning Platforms, Automated Grading, Chatbots for Student Support, Plagiarism Detection, Learning Analytics
• Real Estate & PropTech: Price Prediction Models, Property Recommendation Systems, AI Chatbots for Listings, Document Parsing, Risk Scoring for Tenants or Properties
