The AI Innovator You Need to Know About This Month: Brisbane's Own HiveMind

This month, Brisbane-based HiveMind has launched a new artificial intelligence platform designed to help small to medium-sized businesses streamline their operations and improve customer engagement.

The emergence of HiveMind as a key player in Brisbane's tech scene matters now because the city is rapidly becoming a hub for artificial intelligence innovation, with organisations like the Queensland AI Hub and the Brisbane Tech Park driving growth and investment in the sector. As a result, local businesses are under increasing pressure to adapt and leverage AI technology to remain competitive, and HiveMind is well-positioned to meet this demand.

In Brisbane, HiveMind is already working with businesses in the Fortitude Valley and South Bank areas, including the popular Riverbar & Kitchen and the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre. The company has also partnered with the University of Queensland's School of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering to develop new AI-powered solutions, and is a member of the Brisbane-based startup accelerator program, River City Labs.

Measuring Success

According to data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the use of artificial intelligence in Australian businesses has increased by 25% in the past year, with 42% of businesses in the information media and telecommunications sector now using AI in some form. HiveMind's platform is priced at $500 per month for small businesses, with custom pricing available for larger enterprises. Since its launch in January 2026, the platform has already been adopted by over 50 local businesses, with a reported average increase in customer engagement of 30%.

As the use of artificial intelligence continues to grow in Brisbane, businesses that fail to adapt risk being left behind. To stay ahead of the curve, local business owners should be looking to invest in AI-powered solutions like HiveMind's platform, which can help them to automate routine tasks, gain valuable insights into customer behaviour, and improve their overall competitiveness. With its strong connections to the local tech community and its innovative approach to AI, HiveMind is certainly a company to watch in the coming months.
