Intelligent Software, Built with Purpose

AI & LLM Integration by Exploding Phone

Artificial Intelligence is transforming how businesses operate — but the real value doesn’t come from the buzzwords. It comes from thoughtful, practical, and reliable implementation that solves real-world problems.

At Exploding Phone, we specialise in seamlessly integrating AI and large language models (LLMs) into web and native mobile applications. We help startups, scale-ups, and enterprise teams add intelligence to their software — not just as a feature, but as a core value driver.

Whether you’re looking to reduce support overhead, improve decision-making, enable real-time recognition, or unlock insights from large datasets, we bring the technical experience and business insight to deliver measurable results.

How We Apply AI in the Real World

We don’t just prototype AI features — we ship production-ready solutions that stand up to real users, operational complexity, and scale. Here are just a few of the areas where we’ve helped our clients harness AI effectively:

Conversational AI & Intelligent Chatbots

Custom chatbots are one of the most direct and immediate ways to create value with AI — improving support, guiding users, and reducing time-to-resolution. Our team builds bots that go far beyond pre-scripted flows by leveraging LLMs for natural, intelligent interactions.

Recent Work:
  • Charley – An AI assistant built for StudentXP.ai, designed to help students find relevant services, submit requests, and navigate a complex university support ecosystem. Charlie handles nuanced queries with natural responses, improving engagement and cutting down admin workload.
  • Boiler Bot – A diagnostic chatbot developed for GasAppUK. It helps users troubleshoot boiler issues and get preliminary guidance before escalation, integrating with backend systems to log fault reports and recommend next steps.

These solutions use a blend of custom logic, LLM capabilities (like GPT-4), and domain-specific tuning to deliver fast, helpful, and accurate responses — across mobile apps, web interfaces, and even voice-enabled devices.

Categorisation, Search, and Recommendation Engines

Categorisation, Search, and Recommendation Engines

When businesses deal with large volumes of user-generated content, AI becomes essential to make sense of the noise. We’ve built systems that automatically classify, cluster, and interpret data to drive smarter decision-making — with real bottom-line impact.

Examples:
  • Fault Data Analytics – For a field services platform, we engineered a solution that analyses thousands of incoming fault reports, intelligently categorising them into actionable types, surfacing trends, and generating real-time visualisations. The result? Faster resolution times and fewer support escalations.
  • Smart Knowledgebase Lookup – In a customer service context, we built an LLM-powered tool that interprets incoming emails and support tickets, searches a company’s existing knowledge base, and presents suggested answers to the user — reducing tickets that need human intervention by over 80%.

We combine LLMs, natural language processing, and vector search to create systems that feel intuitive to users while reducing operational complexity.

Computer Vision: Seeing the Unseen

Our work in computer vision turns cameras into intelligent sensors that recognise, track, and make decisions based on visual input.

Projects include:
  • SmartWater – A fascinating application of UV tagging and recognition. We trained a neural network to recognise specific spray patterns of SmartWater (a forensic liquid). Field agents can later use mobile apps to validate whether a spray pattern on a surface matches an authorised application — enabling law enforcement and security teams to verify authenticity in real-time.
  • M&S Equipment Recognition – Built a visual identification tool for Marks & Spencer that allows employees to scan equipment parts using a mobile camera. The system then identifies the part and links it to a reordering workflow through an eCommerce backend — speeding up maintenance and minimising equipment downtime.

Our computer vision solutions are built using custom-trained models, edge-device optimisation (where needed), and seamless integration into existing operational workflows.

AI-Driven Summarisation

Large language models excel at taking large, unstructured datasets and distilling them into coherent summaries that are actually useful

Real world usage:
  • We’ve developed summarisation engines that scan thousands of eCommerce product reviews, highlight the most common likes, dislikes, and user sentiments, and present it in a clean, scannable format to potential buyers.
  • The same approach is used in internal documentation systems to automatically generate concise executive summaries, helping managers stay informed without getting bogged down in detail.

Summarisation isn’t just a nice-to-have — it’s a time-saving, clarity-generating tool that empowers users to make faster, more informed decisions.

International business translation

Intelligent Translation for Global Teams

For multilingual platforms, traditional translation APIs often fall short — especially when dealing with policy documents, dynamic content, or niche industry terms. That’s where LLM-based translation offers a step change in quality and context-awareness.

Use case:
  • In the HOPS / Two Knights application, we used an LLM to dynamically translate worker-facing content — including legal policies, shift descriptions, and operational messages — so that non-native English speakers can fully understand their responsibilities and rights.
  • This not only improves clarity but also boosts compliance, trust, and user satisfaction across diverse workforces

Anomaly Detection & Exception Recognition

AI is uniquely suited to identifying what doesn’t belong — whether that’s a security threat, a data entry error, or a suspicious transaction.

Our approach:
  • We build LLM-driven tools that scan structured datasets and identify outliers or exceptions to normal patterns. This is incredibly powerful for early detection of fraud, uncovering operational issues, or highlighting unexpected trends.
  • For example, in a logistics platform, we trained a model to flag routes or delivery behaviors that deviated from historical norms — prompting reviews before problems escalated.

These systems help businesses stay proactive, not reactive — turning data into a real-time early warning system.
