AI for reliable information

Founded in 2023, Wobby is an AI-powered information platform designed to make data access and insights easier for knowledge workers. It centralises important research and reporting tools, helping professionals make informed decisions quickly. 

The company is led by Amra Dorjbayar and Nathan Tetroashvili, who both have backgrounds in journalism and fact-checking. 

Wobby aims to combat misinformation by providing reliable information and context. By using AI and automation, it reduces routine tasks, allowing users to work more efficiently while maintaining transparency and accuracy in their content creation.

Co-founder Dorjbayar, says, “Knowledge workers today face an overload of information and tools, making it increasingly difficult to find credible sources and organise their work effectively. While many AI tools speed up information gathering and content creation, they also introduce additional complexity. Wobby aims to resolve this by combining all essential knowledge functions in a single platform, allowing users to access reliable insights quickly and translate them into action.”

The company claims to help knowledge workers save up to 75 per cent of their time on research, analysis, and content creation.
