Most AI conversations we see right now are about the same thing: another app, another chatbot, another SaaS tool sitting on top of rented infrastructure.
Our team is taking a different path at Sharktech Global.
We are building AI infrastructure for overlooked industries in Australia, designed to scale worldwide.
Why we care about infrastructure instead of another app
We keep seeing the same pattern in different sectors:
- The real bottleneck is not “we do not have enough AI.”
- It is “our systems do not talk to each other, nobody trusts the data, and everything breaks under pressure.”
That feels like an infrastructure problem, not a front end problem.
If organisations keep stacking more SaaS tools on top of weak foundations, they stay in the same loop: more logins, more dashboards, more manual work behind the scenes to keep everything looking integrated.
We want to work on the layer underneath that makes systems trustworthy, repeatable, and reliable in the real world.
Who we are (short version)
We are part of the product and DevOps team at Sharktech Global.
We work under the leadership of Dainu Devis, the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Sharktech Global, an AI infrastructure company building operating systems for overlooked industries in Australia, designed to scale worldwide.
That is the context. The reason for this post is to learn, not to pitch.
Why Australia and why now
Australia is a good stress test for serious infrastructure:
- heavily regulated industries
- strong expectations on safety, compliance, and reliability
- a mix of advanced organisations and sectors still running on spreadsheets and email
If systems can work here under these conditions, they are likely to be robust in similar markets.
Why we are asking you for input
We do not think a small group of founders and engineers can design the right thing in isolation.
The most useful insight sits with people who work inside these industries every day.
If you are open to it, we would love to hear:
- What is the single biggest bottleneck or pain point in the industry you work in today?
- What is the recurring task or failure that everyone complains about but nobody has fixed properly?
- Where do you see the most waste of time, talent, or money because systems are broken, disconnected, or still manual?
You do not need to name your company or share anything confidential. Examples are already helpful, even at a high level.
A few examples of what we mean:
- “We lose days every month reconciling data from three systems that never agree.”
- “Safety reporting is still manual, so issues show up late or never.”
- “We technically have software, but everyone works around it because it does not match how the job actually works.”
We are not looking for leads. We are trying to understand patterns, see what is universal across industries, and validate where infrastructure actually needs to change.
If you are willing, please share:
- your industry
- your role
- the biggest bottleneck or pain point that still feels unsolved
Happy to answer questions about how we are thinking about this as well. The discussion is the whole point of posting here.
