AI by industry: the problems it solves, and the work that proves it.
AI creates commercial value in an established business where the expertise lives in a few people's heads and the work still runs on paper, email or by hand. Where that is differs by industry. These pages set out, for each one, what AI solves first, what it does not, and what has already been built.

Five industries, with the proof.
Each page names the problems AI solves in that industry, the ones it does not, and what has already been built.
Construction
AI in construction: handover, claims and the ten-year record.
Handover+: validated in two weeks, built in five months, a record kept for the ten-year liability window.
Healthcare and allied health
AI in healthcare: clinical reports, intake and the hours around the consultation.
Virtuosa: clinical reports in about 20 minutes, down from around 4 hours; 25% more clients per psychologist. Also Bloomwise and Wirl.
Logistics and freight
AI in logistics: dangerous goods compliance, manifests and proof of delivery.
DGC: compliance paperwork per run in under 30 minutes, down from 8 hours, with zero paperwork errors across 120 tonnes.
Mining and resources
AI in mining: hazard zones, check-ins and compliance reporting.
AtSite: emergency alerts to the right people in under ten seconds, with worker location data protected.
Hospitality and venues
AI in hospitality: shifts, payments and loyalty on a busy night.
Choosey: launched into a community of 90,000 contractors. Mucudu: past 3,000 users within weeks, ten national brand partnerships.
What they have in common.
We help established businesses identify where AI can create commercial value, then bring strategy, design and engineering together to deliver it.
Every one of these businesses already had the expertise. A compliance standard in a few people's heads, a practitioner who knew what a sound report looks like, operators who knew every hazard zone, a founder who knew what a night out should feel like. What stopped scaling was the capacity to apply it, because the work ran on paper, email and memory.
So the first stage is the same in every industry: two weeks with the people who do the work, to find where AI would make a commercial difference and what is worth pursuing. Design and build only start once that case is clear. See the full process.
What CEOs ask about their industry.
Which industries does Mayfly Ventures work in?
Construction, healthcare and allied health, logistics and freight, mining and resources, and hospitality, each with a built and published example. Beyond those, Aquifa runs water-trading compliance across three states, Voli turned corporate volunteering into measurable ESG activity, and Feels rebuilt corporate gifting around charity donations.
Do you only work in these industries?
No. The industries above are where the proof already exists. The pattern is the same everywhere: an established business whose expertise lives in a few people's heads, work that still runs on paper or by hand, and a commercial result worth the investment. If that describes your business, the industry matters less than the problem.
How do you decide where AI pays in a business?
In a two-week first stage with the people who do the work. We map how the business operates, where the knowledge sits, what systems and data exist and what result would make the investment worthwhile, then compare the opportunities and put a commercial case on each. You leave with a prioritised opportunity and a recommended first move, or a clear reason not to build.
Are you based in Melbourne only?
We are based in Collingwood, Melbourne, and work across Australia. AtSite runs on Western Australian mine sites, Aquifa across three states and Bloomwise inside one of the UK's largest health providers. The first stage is built around conversations with your team, in person or remotely.
