Turning Expert Knowledge into Scalable AI Solutions

Empowering Pontevo’s AI Vision with AWS and Arrow

Norwegian partner Cloudya, together with Arrow and AWS, helped Pontevo transform its generative AI platform from a local MVP to a scalable cloud solution. The result? 3–4x faster processing, enterprise-grade reliability, and accelerated feature development—paving the way for automated grant writing, consulting-as-a-service, and advanced document processing.

Pontevo

We are developing a platform designed to orchestrate expert process knowledge through LLMs and other AI into automated solution designs. Our technology is designed to capture best practices and methodologies from specialists in a simple user-friendly way and transform them into scalable, automated processes and solutions that entire organisations can deploy consistently.

Examples of what our solution can enable:

  • Grant Applications:
    We have already developed on the AWS platform now, with your help, a fully automated grant writing platform that can design and write applications from start to finish. Whether starting with just a rough idea or refining existing drafts, our platform transforms concepts into complete, submission-ready applications with minimal input, incorporating best practices from grant funding experts
  • Consulting Automation:
    We are currently working with a consultancy to convert their consultant methodologies into repeatable digital processes that deliver consistent results. This is the first step in designing a universal platform to deliver a tool for consultancies to deliver consulting as a service digitally

  • Document Processing:
    Complex document analysis that normally requires experts can now be automated with the same precision


Our Journey to AWS:


We started with a static but automated grant application MVP running on a local computer. This demonstrated that our solution design (idea) was viable, but not scalable. That is when Cloudya and Antire stepped in to help us move to AWS, with Arrow facilitating the partnership and helping us secure the support of AWS in the process.

What made this partnership exceptional was how each company understood our needs as a startup in a critical growth phase. You took time to comprehend not just our technical requirements, but our business vision and constraints. Cloudya's AWS infrastructure expertise, combined with Antire's technical implementation skills, provided exactly the support we needed at each stage. Arrow handled the administrative complexity, allowing everyone to focus on building the solution.


The Results:


The transformation exceeded our expectations:

  • 3-4x faster processing speeds - We now get results in a third of the time it took before
  • Radically faster feature development - Shifting our focus away from infrastructure towards accelerating our product roadmap  
  • 99.9% uptime - Enterprise-grade reliability 

The performance improvements particularly surprised us.
We expected better scalability but not such dramatic speed gains!


What Lies Ahead:


As a startup approaching our most critical phase, the journey from prototype to client implementation, we will rely heavily on our partners' continued support to navigate the challenges ahead successfully. Over the coming months, we need the experienced support of AWS, Arrow, Cloudya and Antire to help us:

  • Implement enterprise-grade security that will satisfy investor due diligence requirements
  • Refactor our codebase to meet the stringent standards expected by enterprise customers
  • Achieve certifications necessary for handling sensitive corporate data
  • Build zero-fault tolerance architecture that mission-critical business processes demand

This partnership is essential for our success. Startups at our stage face a crucial challenge: we must meet enterprise standards whilst maintaining startup agility.
