Relational Decision Intelligence (RDI)
Our mission is to merge emotional intelligence (EQ), artificial intelligence (AI), and user experience (UX) to build technologies that understand and respond relationally, while maintaining state-of-the-art grounding and quality standards for information-dense workloads.
We build:
-
AI systems that combine high-quality grounding and relational intelligence tuned to the demands of intelligent assistants in kiosks and other customer-facing circumstances.
-
Systems that support human judgment intelligently, with structured recovery and reconcilliation playbooks.
About Us
At DataWise Innovations, we turn cutting-edge university research into deployed human-centered technologies. From AI avatars and holographic assistants to AR-integrated drone systems, our prototypes are built to understand context, read human intent, and communicate with trust. We bridge academic discovery with deployable solutions shaping the future of interactive AI.
In the News
We are excited to share that DataWise Innovations, LLC has been nominated for the 2026 UNC Charlotte Invention of the Year Awards across multiple categories. Our nominated innovations include our AI Hologram Assistant Instructor, AI-Driven Personalized Career Development and Institutional Integration System, Augmented Reality Feedback and Strategy System for Team Sports and Military Operations, and Mental Performance Competency Assessment. These reflect our mission to push the boundaries of AI, human performance, and decision intelligence. We thank our team for making this possible!

Our Products in Development
AI Hologram Assistant Avatar
The AI Hologram Assistant Avatar is a screen-based avatar system designed to transform how organizations teach, train, and communicate. Built on adaptive relational AI and multimodal interaction, the assistant delivers emotionally intelligent guidance across classrooms, training centers, public-facing environments, and high-stress operational settings. It engages learners through natural conversation, interactive scenarios, and real-time adaptive feedback.
Catastrophe Management
Our catastrophe-response platform integrates AR glasses, holographic command tables, and machine-learning prediction models to give responders real-time situational awareness. Teams can see hazards, routes, structures, and plume forecasts overlaid directly into their environment, enabling faster decisions, safer operations, and mission-ready coordination under pressure.
SKYTACTIX™ AR Glasses & Tactical Drone
Augmented reality (AR) glasses paired with drones create a powerful real-time system for sports, military, and high-performance teams. The glasses provide hands-free overlays providing instructions directly in the user’s field of view. In sports, this enables users to see movement patterns, speed, spacing, and tactical opportunities instantly. Boosts awareness, safety, and decision-making
AI Avatar Hologram Screen Assistant Kiosk
At Datawise Innovations, we redefine user interaction with our advanced kiosks, which leverage Relational AI to learn and adapt in real-time, surpassing traditional scripted solutions. Our kiosks excel in six key areas, providing unparalleled intelligence and human-centered experiences that prioritize user intent. Discover how our innovative technology transforms service delivery, ensuring seamless and engaging interactions that set your business apart.
