We welcomed the news of Qrious' performance.

“We recently held the first Microsoft AI Summit in Auckland, where we saw an appetite to see how Copilot and other generative AI tools can be applied across New Zealand organizations. Business leaders see their employees driving change, and the question is how can they guide AI adoption in a safe and optimal way that adds value to their business, employees, and customers? Enabling partners like Qrious to improve their skills and provide guidance is critical for businesses across Aotearoa to make the most of what AI has to offer to their economies and societies. It’s important,” he says.
