Using free AI is not free

Your AI search history is being sold to your competitors

Pop AIs are recording your AI search history and selling it to service companies and ( shudder ) your competitors. Microsoft, Google and others have no other source of revenue to support running their AI chatbots. 

( By the way, if you are not yet buying search history of your competitors from Google, Open AI, Microsoft or Meta, call us to help you start. )

Pop chatbots can provide a high level overview of an oil and gas topic – but it may be inadequate and incorrect.  They however leave reasons behind;
Specific operations a mystery;
Results of actions missing;
Operational details non-existent.

Without AppIntel AI, you lose twice: you get poorer results and sacrifice your search history to be sold the pop AI chatbots.

On the contrary, AppIntel AI contains all the dimensions, pressures, and maps submitted by the industry.  AppIntel also provides alerts in your area and on your keywords.  We never sell information of our subscribers.  Why would you trust anything else?

One operator submitted maps showing he is draining his offsetting neighbor big time. His net pay map is superimposed with his land and his horizontal well traces. He's drilled two long reach horizontal wells per half section. But his neighbor has no wells on his land. The neighbor's net pay looks even better.

If his neighbor saw this map, he would be working harder at drilling or farming out. He could have seen it through an AppIntel AI area alert.

You are funding the cost of AI development

More and more data centers with expensive GPU-based AI processing and high electricity costs are popping up around the world. 

AI research and development continues to cost AI suppliers as they hire high priced researchers, coders and support staff.

The cost of these is supported from revenue generated by selling your search history to others and selling you advertising.

AppIntel AI never sells subscriber information.  Ever.

For paid subscribers Regaware does not advertise on the AI and does not share personal information collected with any other third parties in any way that may be used to identify users or their employers.

At AppIntel AI we never sell your search history. We don’t need to. AppIntel AI is a paid subscription service. 

Your encrypted login, your search history, and usage information never gets outside Regware Systems. Safe since 2011.

Other broad based artificial intelligence applications harvest your inputs and search history to sell to other parties.

Without AppIntel AI, you lose twice: you get poorer results and sacrifice your search history to be sold the pop AI chatbots

Using AI Safely

How do you ensure that the AI you use is trustworthy, ethical, moral, and beneficial?

At AppIntel AI we believe trust depends on information source. Trusted information requires vetting.

With AppIntel you can tap into the collective insight of all the operators that have ever argued before the regulator. It is as fresh as this morning.

Made in the oil and gas industry for the oil and gas industry, AppIntel AI helps the oil and gas industry answering technical oil and gas questions.

What does it take to trust an AI?

To be safe, AI delivered content must be very trustworthy. Oil industry puts lives at stake – there cannot be any doubt as to the trust of AI content. The content must be trustworthy for tried and true conventional, facility, and pipeline technology as well as for new paradigms like shale oil and thermal recovery.

To be useful for the oil and gas industry, we believe AI must follow eight principles including Trust and being Industry Specific.

How to choose an AI

With so many AI application choices, how does an operator decide where to start?

One way to choose an AI is through the lens of Kepner-Tregoe decision analysis weighing Musts and Wants. In addition to trust, we suggest operators consider Cost, Return on Investment,  Made by Industry and several other factors.

At AppIntel AI we never sell your search history. We don’t need to. AppIntel AI is a paid subscription service.

DIY-AI

Many are tempted to create in-house copies of AppIntel AI.

It is true that the best solutions can be created in-house, if they ever get finished. It is also true that in-house AI solutions are the most expensive by far.

Recent surveys show 80% of in-house AI projects fail. When they fail, everyone associated with the project gets fired.

It is much, much cheaper and quicker to try AppIntel AI than make a DIY-AI. Remember the 3-2-1 rule of DIY projects:

3. Takes three times longer;
2. Twice as expensive; and
1. After this once, I will never try that again.
