# In the beginning there was science...

<https://dragonflyai.co/about-new#>

 Originally the algorithm was a simple (but not so simple) recognition tool that understood changes.

The AI was integrated for reaction time changes so that humans could benefit from a more optimal process. It organically evolved into the study of robot attention driven by a human framework. It was starting to get exciting but we still didn’t know where this would end up.

 2011

 The algorithm evolved and could now deliver information about visual processing. This was more than a casual sashay into AI, this was biologically driven predictive analytics that worked with humans.

The development of this meant that a few critical steps took place:

- A prototype app was built in partnership with the Queen Mary University of London.
- We started investigated design navigation analysis.
- The focus on attention meant that we were now pioneers in this tech.

 2013

 Dragonfly AI was made official!

Now the fun could really begin...the leadership team was being put together and plans for the future were put in motion.

 2018

 The tech evolved and began to predict gaze path and strive for insights that had an end user focus.

 It was time to go to market...

By 2019, it was ready to go to market in a much bigger way and we received our first investment.

 2019

 We started hiring our team

 2020
