A little more on gweek

Gweek is a mobile application designed to improve communication and presentation skills, based on machine learning to analyse and quantify how effectively people communicate.

Speech Intelligence Analytics™ within gweek can track and map the degree to which a speaker get their message across while remaining both efficient in speech and authentic in person, no matter the circumstances.

It is designed for candidate screening, learning and talent development, through iOS/Android and SaaS environments.

They are able to identify the world’s communicators using behavioural and data science as well as objective benchmarks.

The startup is currently based in Hong Kong and has already won key customers in the region among secondary schools and banks – proving that the methodology and algorithm are as valid for teenagers as for senior managers in the financial industry.
