About Us
Do you think Artificial Intelligence is changing the world? So do we.
At Gemmo, we don’t just build models: we help Fortune 200 companies like Novartis and Broadridge harness the power of AI to generate real, measurable impact. We are a Machine Learning and Computer Vision startup founded in 2020, headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, with an AI Lab in Milan, Italy.
Our expertise spans Machine Learning and Generative AI for financial services and Computer Vision for life sciences. We build custom AI solutions that combine automation with human insight — first exploring the highest‑impact opportunities, then designing and deploying tailored solutions, and finally helping improve and maintain them over time. We believe in responsible, pragmatic AI: systems that integrate into real workflows, provide measurable value, and remain under your control.
